An EOS Kind Of A Day (2 of 2); Analog Therapy/Scenes Seen Edition: Canon EOS A2 – Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8

Scroll down to content

I traveled today. Further than I have in a little while. Paid my respects to a friend and co-worker’s family member in a neighboring state. Least I could do. Witnessed a touching farewell.

A funeral can kick up some emotional dust so I brought along some image capturing friends to distract me.

Have developed the Rollei RPX 400 film for the EOS A2 with Cinestill df96 and the negatives were scanned. The last shared the digital captures and I will share the analog captures in this one. Have been using medium format film for the last few weeks. After being accustomed to blasting through 15 exposures at a time recently 36 took a few days. I will share the last exposures left taken on this trip first and then will share the exposures taken earlier in the week after that. This here post is about the analog sibling and a favorite lens.

They served their purpose. The journey took me through some rural scenes in SC. Reminded me of my family’s homestead in NC. I took in the scenes real time most of the day with no camera in play, a few images were taken with the digital twin, and a few were taken with the film A2. And as has been the norm the A2 did not disappoint. Here are the surviving analog images from the trip.

I found a BUC-CEES… It is a US Southern thing. Think of it as a giant gas station meets a much better food court than one would expect of a football foeld sized gas station store… A post will follow.

Ok. On to the exposures captured during the week before the trip.

Nothing Earth shattering. Mostly just trying to muscle my way through a roll of film. But I like them. And more importantly, mission distraction accomplished.

Happy capturing.
