Drumroll please… the second part of my one year film dump! Kodak Portra 400 is my favorite film stock, and for good reason! I love the warm tones the stock provides and the speed is great for a multitude of lighting situations. It’s those big factors that led to me shooting it while I was in Scotland on a work assignment. Since all of my digital photos would mainly be for the clients, the only personal photos I have from the trip are all on film! It was my first time taking and shooting film abroad; big thanks to this blog post from The Darkroom about traveling with film.
Two out of the three rolls have Scotland memories on them; the rest of the photos are the beginnings of 2019.
All photos taken on Canon Rebel 2000 with Kodak Portra 400 35mm film, processed and scanned by The Darkroom Lab.
