Kentucky Photowalk with My First Roll of Lomochrome Metropolis XR 100-400

On a beautiful day in March 2020, before COVID-19 made us all into hermits, I took part in a photowalk organized by my good friend Sam Warner of The Unrecovering Photography Addict. Part of the day was spent exploring Covington in northern Kentucky.

For this walk, I used the first roll of Lomochrome Metropolis XR 100-400. I exposed it at 200iso. Expected a little bit more muted and gray/blue colors

• Camera: Canon EOS 1N + Canon 85mm f1.8

• Film: Lomochrome Metropolis XR 100-400

Video: Walking Panama City's Casco Viejo with an Olympus Trip 35.

It has "Trip" right in the name, so you know that the Olympus Trip 35 was made for travel photography.  This is a 35mm film camera, beautifully metal to hold, and requiring no batteries.  The selenium sensor around the edges of the lens chooses the shutter speed and aperture.  You select the zone focus.  The film and the very sharp lens does the rest.

In this video, I wander the streets of Casco Viejo, the old quarter of Panama City, Panama, and see a neighborhood in the transition between decay and restoration.  With a roll of Kodak Portra 400 film in the Olympus Trip 35 and a Sony FDR X3000 perched on top, I have made a cool little movie showing off both the Camera and the Neighborhood.  I hope you enjoy it.

These aren't affliate links.  I just want to you to know.

• I buy my Olympus Trip 35s from Trip Man in the UK. The best prices and they are all in superb working condition.

• I buy my Kodak Film from the Film Photography Project Store.
