My brother told me of something he saw on social media. Though I wanted to check it out, I forgot about itFortunately, I managed to see it on the last day when my brother drove by and reminded me. It was already 9:30 pm and the event was scheduled to end at 10 pm, so we hurried to get there.
I took some film photos of it, and it was amazing. The sight was like augmented reality, but it was there in from of me, not on a screen. A self-suspended sphere, suspended by cables, with a light inside projecting outward, and the surface of the moon printed on the outside. Although I could discern the lines that made it up, it was still impressive to see.
My brain was confused in a way. I knew it wasn't the actual moon, but my senses suggested otherwise. The illusion was cool, and my brain struggled to make sense of it.
Also walking around it made it even more intriguing.
Sometimes I'll take a photo and I'll have a good idea of what I'll get. Sometimes the oposite. This isnt a crazy insight but this photo is obvious in a
way, the red yellow and green was a very nice suprise for me. Also that the green light on the right looks more like blue. Very cool.
I haven't heard much about 250D. I decided to chance it and buy 100' short ends of 250D film and have been bulk loading it.
The colors are fantastic. 'like Portra 400 with Ektar 100's pop!'
I develop it at home in C41 and just use a baking soda prewash to get rid of the ramjet. It doesn't require much of a workflow change, and highly recommend it.
