First Slides (the REAL first roll)

2009.04.19
Century Tower in the late afternoon. Always a good way to judge how your colors are on a roll.

Victory- Jeremy Pelto stands over his brother Kurtis in triumph after beating him in a jousting game.

Couples- This was a tough photo to shoot. Ideally, I would have been about two steps to my right and cleared the building from Ryan's head, but if I did that, then my shadow would fall on them completely and ruin the shot. I think it worked, though. There are two versions of the scan, this one and one that is more orange-ish. I like the tones in this one a lot.
Thanks to Pinto, Bea, and Luke and Caroline for putting up with all the hassle that this photo involved.

So I got the first roll of slides developed and they're really cool. This was the real first roll I shot with the 67.

The film is called Agfachrome 50, and it was discontinued some time ago. I found a few rolls of it at a used camera shop in Miami, fresh out of the fridge, for a buck apiece. It seems to be more or less stable, and I like the colors.

I'm pretty happy with them overall, though some were off a bit technically-turns out my meter was underexposing, and underexposure and slides don't mix. One of the above photos needed a lot of work to fix that.
Hope you like them...I have another slide roll done that I haven't scanned yet, and those are eye-popping.
