• Yeah the photo is bad composed. First I thought I should rotate it so it's horizontally flat, but I think this adds a sense of movement to the scene.

Mamiya RB67
90mm Mamiya Sekor C
Kodak Portra 800

Continuing with trying to capture sunsets. I have to say Portra 800 produces some interesting colour rendering. In 6x7 format asa 800 isn't that very grainy. You can live with it. It's so much easier using it than asa 100 films in low light situations like this.

    In a way I cheated, I enchanced the saturation in the computer. I must get ahold of that 665 film, it's a shame Polaroid have ceased production of that particular film. Well, you can still get it from Ebay and similar.

    Thanks! You're German or Dutch I believe judging by your name...well, it was more beautiful in real life. The lens was almost in the water in this shot.

    Nice photo. Indeed I was wondering about the colors after looking at your other sunsets - and just thought. "I need this film, too". Well... after reading your text, I think "maybe do some photoshop after negative scan, too". Thanks! ... and, nice camera. Nearly bought the BR67, too - but after sleeping a night over it, I realized it would be too heavy and I would rather leave it at home instead of taking photos. Good luck for finding the light leak.

    Yes, the Mamiya is heavy to lug around, but nice.
