Analog Therapy: CatLABS B&W X-Film 320 + Occoneechee Speedway Trail.
Was looking to get through a roll of film and decided to revisit the Historic Occoneechee Speedway Trail near me.
The camera and lens.
A favorite pairing.
The Historic Occoneechee Speedway Trail is an interesting place. Here is a cut and paste from their website:
“The original track was a half-mile horse track built by Julian S. Carr for Occoneechee Farms. It was later expanded and used by NASCAR. This 44-acre site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 2002. Four miles of trail take you along the banks of the Eno River where you’ll walk around the only surviving dirt speedway from NASCAR’s inaugural 1949 season. The 1-mile oval Occoneechee/Orange Speedway was active from 1948-68, attracting the best stock car drivers and thousands of spectators. Today this unique outdoor site allows for a diverse range of activities and is enjoyed by individual hikers, joggers, and other sports enthusiasts.“
The film. Another favorite.
Developed with Cinestill df96 the negatives were looking good.
As stated above I have found that Cinestill df96 works better with CatLABS B&W X-Film 320 when using ISO 100, rather than 320. My first roll was a bit dark, but each since has been great since I made the adjustment. Here are the pics.
Thoughts.
I like the camera, lens, and film. That about wraps it up.
Another successful analog therapy session.
Happy capturing.
