This photo series consists of two rolls of film that I shot during photography camp. The first set of pictures are scans from a roll of HP5 400. This film was shot on a borrowed Nikon "Nikomat" camera with a 50mm lens. The second set of pictures were shot on a roll of 25 year old Tri-X film. This roll of film was shot on my personal camera; the Minolta Srt-201 with a 50mm f1.7 lens. 

​

Both rolls were shot on trips we took during photography camp. On Wednesday we started at Rabbit Hash Kentucky and ended up at Smale Park (Cincinnati). Unfortunately most of my (Tri-X) film rabbit hash photos were lost in development (what happens when you use the wrong spool). Fortunately,  the rest of the roll survived, and even got a cool light leak effect. I predominantly shot the roll of HP5 at Smale Park, I was rushed for time so I ended up with only a few shots on the roll. (thats what happens when you shoot with three cameras lol)

 

The next day we got our HP5 rolls developed at the Manifest Drawing Center by none other than the famous photographer Michael Wilson. We also printed our photos in the darkroom with the six enlargers at the studio. Overall it was a great time, Getting to speak to a famous photographer that also came from the same region as me was incredible. While he was developing the film I even got to agitate (shake) the film development tank as a demonstration. Michael Wilson (in the time that I was working with him) was a very humble man who never once bragged about his status. Michael Wilson is a very interesting man and it was a pleasure to learn film dev/darkroom technique from him, I hope we cross paths again in the future.
