Sunset in color

Shot a random roll of expired Kodak Gold 200 in a point-and-shoot – Samsung Maxima Zoom 90i, which was also sold as the Rollei Prego 90. I like the performance, but the camera is a bit too chunky to be a handy carry-around.

Still, I like the rich color of the sunset light captured in these images.

These photos don’t differ much from those on the previous post – taken at the same time at the same location, but with a different camera.

I had to fly to Texas which limited how much gear I could fit into my carry-on. I would never check in my cameras. So I had the Leica M6 with me for 35mm, and for medium format I chose the Fujica GW690 (the Texas Leica, appropriately enough) which took up space but was light and self contained. It was also convenient that both cameras were rangefinders.

Anyway, here are the photos shot on long expired (1982) Kodak Tri-X. I’ve shot a quite a few rolls from this stash and I’m finding they’ve held up well.

The last photo is the view down into the riverbed. You get to the pools by following the bed toward the bottom of the image.
