Small midwestern towns lend themselves to plenty of photo opportunities, the towns in this video are no exception. Follow me as I shoot two rolls of Kentmere 400 pushed to 800 with my Pentax 645 medium format camera, developed in Cinestill DF96 developer. And is that a funeral hearse!?
Indiana Backroads Photography with the Pentax 645 medium format camera and Kentmere 400 film1/9/2025
Do you ever get out of your hometown for random photography in rural areas? Helps that I have a job that requires travel, but what about you? Do you get out as often as you'd like?
Follow me as I shoot two rolls of Kentmere 400 pushed to 800 with my Pentax 645 medium format camera, developed in Cinestill DF96 developer in some backroads and small towns in rural Indiana.
In this video, I find myself in some abandoned woods near Mineral Point, Wisconsin that was being used as an old auto dumping ground of some sort. I also stop by an out-of-business body shop near Carmi, Illinois that offered some excellent old vehicles and a rusted out school bus.
Pentax 645 film camera with the Pentax 45-85mm f/4.5 zoom, and a roll of Kentmere 400 pushed to 800, developed in Cinestill DF96 and scanned on an Epson V600, with minor modifications in Lightroom.
I ran a roll of Lomography's Earl Grey 100 film through my medium format Pentax 645 camera with the 45-85mm f/4.5 lens on a bright, sunny late-afternoon. The results from this film were deep blacks, bright whites and nice, soft shades of grey.
I found the Earl Grey 100 to deliver a very nice gritty cinematic look, but I got quite a bit of grain that seemed a bit much for 100 speed film, however, that could be an issue with over-development on my end. Nonetheless, extra grain doesn't bother me personally, but I can't give an accurate account of the grain factor of this roll as a definite. |
