Speaking of which, the medium of film gives this photo a nice vintage vibe.
Lastly, I choose the skyline + clubhouse as a backdrop but I lucked out that the field was empty and the sky was overcast (making for some gentle lighting despite it being midday).

“2021 meets 2020”
As you can tell, this image was taken in December. That’s when I started shooting this roll of film — a roll of film I just couldn’t finish off no matter how hard I tried. Call it a lack of motivation or just a copious serving of laziness.
Anyway, I wasn’t sure how it was all going to turn out because I chanced two things here:
- The development chemicals. They were mixed in August. That’s right, they’re six months old! I’m sure that violates the code of conduct of the C-41 Developers Guild. In any case, it’s an affront to decency.
- The lens. It’s the Voigtländer 35/1.7 Ultron. I hadn’t used it before, so this is the first (“test”) roll with it.
I usually like to minimize the presence of variables but this time I introduced two.
Fortunately, everything looks good.
