Antelope Valley

Continue my L.A. saga. Besides my digital Z2, I also brought along my medium format Seagull. The 120 film jammed in my Seagull. I struggled to unjammed it while standing in the middle paradise. I only managed to get one good shot. The one you are looking at. Sad, isn't it.

It would have been nice to see some more shots from the Seagull. This one has very saturated colors. What kind of film were you using?

Warren, the film was Kodak Portra 160 NC. The image color is very close the the actual scene. In my effort to unjam the film and not breaking the camera, I opened the back cover to loosen the spool. Some of the film was exposed to the sun and some of the shots overlapped due to film jam. This is the only shot survives.

Wow Simon, the CA State flowers are in their full glory. Too bad about the rest of the roll. Hopefully you will use the Seagull for some more great captures.

Dan, thanks for your encouragement. This shot is worthy of the trip. I have been doing test runs with an undeveloped ruined roll. My Seagull seems normal again. I plan to take my Seagull to Mount Shasta area in fall.
