This morning’s Focus on the Positives submission is from @alexmcolephotography - shot on Ektachrome E100 film and titled ‘Late Nights Home’
His top tip for shooting slide: “Watch your highlights and shadows, slide does not have as great of a dynamic range as negative”
This is definitely true yet shouldn’t put you off approaching images with decent contrast! As you can see in Alex’s picture - the darkness of the night sky and the brightness of the artificial lights have both been captured well, and the overall colours are absolutely Also I love the changing rate of blur as you look down the train - makes the physicist within me very happy!

“We hope the films we make will bring back a permanent record, the likes of which have never before been seen.”

When Apollo 11’s astronauts first set foot on the Moon, it marked one of humanity’s crowning achievements. But they didn’t go there alone. Kodak’s engineers designed cameras and film that proved critical for every stage of the mission.
⠀
For the mission, photography served two purposes: to document the trip, and to further scientific study of the Moon. A comprehensive set of camera equipment was carried on board Apollo 11. This included two 16mm Maurer motion picture film cameras, a color television camera in the orbiting Columbia, and a black and white TV camera outside of the lunar module to transmit to Earth Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon's surface. A Kodak stereo close-up camera was used to film the lunar soil and 3 @Hasselblad 500EL cameras were carried.
⠀
Each film magazine would typically hold enough film for 260 images and yield 160 color and 200 black and white pictures on special film. Kodak was asked by NASA to develop thin new films with special emulsions. On Apollo 11, they loaded Kodak Ektachrome EF SO-168, Ektachrome MS SO-0368, Kodak Panatomic-X fine-grained, 80 ASA, b/w film and one with super light-sensitive Kodak 2485 with 16,000 ASA film — compared to the 100-200 ASA films we have today.
⠀
While Armstrong and Aldrin were on the moon taking photographs, Collins stayed in orbit to lead the command module – taking photographs and shooting motion picture film as well. With the work of these incredible astronauts, and the many scientists and engineers that worked on these projects, they have forever changed how we see our world.

The Dreamers: Lucia Liu
.
Went to China last month with Will and Natalie. Fun was had. Sights were seen. A short about Lucia Liu was shot.
.
I generally stuck with the Cooke 18-100mm Varotal, which has fast become a go-to fave zoom (albeit a bit vignette-y). Stuck that lens on a mini, but also used a battered SR3 (1 of 2 we could find in Shanghai, the other being broke) with some Super Speeds. Also used a Super 8 camera with the new/old Ektachrome film... and Will’s Hi 8. I think that’s all the cameras ♂️
.
I don’t usually go into much depth on lighting so I thought I’d explain a little. The first shot I used a combo of 3 x sky panels to raise ambience in different areas of the frame, hidden down the right hand side out of shot in some of the rooms. This also enabled me to quickly re light Lucia for some close ups at the end of the hallway (using frames and bounce to control and soften the light).
.
I also used a HMI to catch the green bamboo trees on the left of frame and add some contrast and colour. Some other DPs perhaps would let that go dark and allow the eye to be completely drawn to the centre of the frame, however, I felt it added some much needed colour and contrast to the shot, and highlighted the unique location.

Retrochrome 400: it’s fitting to return this specialty contract manufactured Ektachrome to the Nevada desert where it had been slumbering at a government storage facility since the last days of 1990s. I’m not at all certain how the film performed its original tasks at Area 51, but it adapted to the Vegas lifestyle in no time!

El Cortez. It should surprise no one that I first stayed here in 2007 because of the awesome neon scaffold sign. The old gal certainly did her job because it’s been my default motel stay in Vegas ever since. The place is an absolute treasure located in downtown Las Vegas. If you want to experience Vegas as she was in the Rat Pack days, look no further. You found it. The history here is literally everywhere. Proximity to some of the last best surviving neon in Vegas certainly doesn’t hurt either⚡️, and you’re just a few short blocks from Atomic Liquors, a place which got its name because people would gather on the rooftop to watch the atomic bomb tests probably not far from where this film was stored— you can Google that one I’m not making it up! •
