Film Reflections

Film: Kodak 200 Color Negative
Camera: Ricoh XR-P (1985)

The reflection off one of my ponds a couple of evenings ago. It was near sunset so the forest was dark, but the sky was still plenty light; making for pretty good contrast.

This is the shot achieved by wrapping my GorillaPod around a tree, seen here:

@ozziehoffy

[Aaron]

Thanks Sharon! :) 200-speed film still has a nice, thick layer of emulsifier so the images stay pretty rich :)

[Anne ❀]

perfect reflections!

[Maggiemae]

Which way is up? Dark waters with superb reflections!

[Rick Schies]

It's great. Nice clarity. I used to shoot with 200 speed film most of the time. Always liked the results.

[Aaron]

@sunnygreenwood Thanks Anne! :)
@maggiemae Haha, thanks MaggieMae :)
@digitalrn Thanks Rick, it's such a versatile speed! 100's no good in low light and 400 is too grainy in daylight... I'll take 200 please Goldilocks :)

[Ulpi]

Beautiful reflections Aaron! Love the light on the green trees:)

[Aaron]

[BeckyS]

Beautiful shot.

[Sharon]

This is stunning!!

[Aaron]

@danacarruthers Haha, thanks Dana :) The pond is fed on one end by a small stream, and the water soaks into the ground, so the surface does get very still.
@shanne Thanks Shanne!
@beckys Thanks Becky! :)
@twinsplusone Thank you Sharon :)

[Karoline]

I think your camera was upside down :-) great to perfect reflection!

[Aaron]

@karo Haha, I hope not Karoline or I forgot more about my film camera than I thought :)

[Lara Zinn]

are you serious this is a reflection??? where does it start? I can see the same patterns upside down but I cannot tell where the reflection starts and end. awesome!

thanks for the follow by the way.

[Aaron]

@carrapeta00 Absolutely Lara, the shoreline is at the top, cropped out :)

Amazing shot, and film.. so brave!

I can't believe this is a reflection. Even more unbelievable is that you have "ponds" as in plural. I'm green with envy.

[Aaron]
