Ektrapress Gold 1600 expired film

Olympus OM-2, Zuiko 50mm 1.4.  I bought some expired film on eBay as an experiment on different types of film. This was Ektapress Gold 1600. I set my OM-2 at ISO 800 by the way. I used a Sekonic L-358 Digital hand held meter as my OM-2 can’t meter in low light but is very accurate during the day. The shutter speed was at 1/4 sec and hand held. It’s great playing with old film, you never know what you’ll get.

Old Town Morovia Farmer’s Market

Olympus OM-4, Zuiko 50mm f/1.4, Zuiko 24mm f/2.8, Kodak Professional BW 400CN film.  Every Friday evening at the Old Town Monrovia, street closure of Myrtle Ave. right off the 210 holds a fantastic opportunity for photography. Bring fast film, you’re gonna need it or a set of steady hands.

Lilies

Olympus OM-1n Zuiko 50mm f/1.4.  These bright pink lilies caught my eyes as the sun was setting behind the trees, its stems were slowly being engulfed by the ensuing shadows. I took a quick reading with my Sekonic L-248 hand held light meter near the blooming flowers. Meters come in handy with this kind of complex lighting situations. Although my OM-1n has a meter built in, a hand held light meter removes the guess work and gives you perfect exposure every time when used correctly.
