Mint Leaves
A companion to "Blue Barn Door" taken at Camp Nelson. I shot this with my Nikon FM2n with the wonderful Micro 55mm lens. It's on Porta 400, Kodaks reformulated utility color negative film. Obviously, there's not as much detail in this shot, as you're comparing smaller 35mm negative film with 400 ISO to medium format E-6 50 ISO film. However, the Portra still shows a lot of detail zoomed in. It would have taken an extra 10 minutes to throw an extension tube on the Bronica and try (and maybe fail) to get the tripod into this low position. With the Nikon, I just laid on my belly and got a few shots, thanks to the fast 400 speed. Each film format has its pros and cons.
