Sunset Chat

[Brian Moore]

Back to film. (My world is back on its axis.) A pair of stout chaps having a chat over a cocktail at the Vallejo Yacht Club last week. I used my Vivitar PN2011 with flipped lens and it had in it Kirkland Signature 200 film which expired in 2000. (I have since found out that this is Agfa film. I wish they still made it because, although you cannot tell by this strongly backlit shot, the colors on it are wonderful, especially the reds which are very nicely saturated.)

Love the halos here Brian and the fact you can almost, but not quite, make out their faces. That makes you really explore the image.

Thanks very much, Pete. I enjoy shooting with this camera because the results are predictably unpredictable. (Except whet celestial fireballs streak across the sky.)

Looks like we are looking through an eye...very interesting! Lots of eyes, mine, yours, the camera's...

It really does, Rob. The same thought occurred to me. Thanks.

Now I have a better idea what you're going through Pete. Are you also seeing a few more celestial fireballs than usual?

 

[Pete Askew]

Funny you should say that Brian!!
