@fueast I have taken shots of this place with PEN as well a few weeks back. I have visited this place a couple of times using different cameras and film. It is incredibly changeable. Still using PEN and even toying with getting an OM-D eventually. Have been really enjoying films. This photo was unedited but has produced amazing colours, including an almost hint of blue through clouds.
theres some mastering to redscale, if you crack the stopping down, or ISO fiddling you can let lots of different colours creep in, I never mastered it after 4 rolls of pretty grumpy and dark film. I could never remember if you over exp or under exp it. Lovely when it happens though, the blue just makes the red pop even more. fav.
Mamiya 6 is a beautiful medium format camera, which means it shoots slightly bigger film than the film you picture when you hear the word film. And Lomography is a modern Austrian company who take advantage of the coolness of old Russian and Chinese cameras by putting them in funky cool packaging and surrounding them in sexy marketing. They also rebrand film, and if you can afford it, its nice stuff. He just writes those details so the failm-fans on the site can get all sweaty and happy for a few minutes, before they realise they need to go across to ebay and buy the same gear.
@chewyteeth I was really surprised to see hint of blue under clouds. I might have to try working on get more colours in. This place is pure magic for photography because every time it is different. @jgpittenger Because film negatives have to be digitised there are no exif details. Subsequently the film users on 365 will usually state the name of camera and film type as other photographers here like to compare. Sometimes we also will put in the lens type as well. A Mamiya Six is a folding camera with a small bellows. The shutter speed and f stop are set on the lens. It is not to be confused with a Mamiya 6 which is an expensive camera beloved by professional portrait photographers. These cameras are called medium format because they produce negatives which are 6cm by 6cm, although I have others that produce 6x9cm . The advantage is that when these are digitised it will produce a highly detailed scan that can be the equal or even better than a photo taken by a digital camera. For example, if a 6x6 negative is scanned at 1600dpi the resulting digital image will end at around 30-50megabytes, but then be compressed down to around 10 megabytes in editing software. A digital medium format camera costs around $30,000. A liitle out of my price range. @chewyteeth is right about the Lomography company. I tend to buy most of my film on eBay for as cheap as I can get it, but don't mind buying Redscale film from them, or Rollei Redbird which is made by Agfa in Japan. One day I might make some myself using expired Fuji film. Lomography also reproduces versions of vintage cameras but it is easier and much cheaper to buy an original version on eBay. There is nothing like the real thing.
I've not been on 365 much lately except to try to keep up with posting. I just discovered this on the top 20 page. It and it's companion shots are gorgeous! Congratulations!

Your shots are so inspiring! :)
