How many seconds was this shot?
Trying to get into film......got my test roll back from the RTS. Looks like I have to scan the negatives myself and to print them out from the digital files.

Some Winter shots at the park.

Holy Halation on those outdoor color shots! What kind of film were you using? It's almost like a soft focus effect, but the details are still sharp - its just kind of 'glowing'.

Hehehehe.....no, those are taken with my 1dmarkIII and 24-70L. They are digital. I added a bit of glow effect from photoshop since the snow and the brightly white color do have that kind of effect.
Ah-ha! I knew something was up! lol.
... Wow, how geeky do I feel right now ...
If you want general advice on film,
-Be picky about your lab. Make sure the technicians aren't abusing your film, etc. If you have a ton of money, use pro lab services if your area has one. I've also had good luck with Costco.
-Consider shooting E-6 slide film, like Velvia. They have a narrow exposure latitude, but the colors and contrast are great. Also, they call for E-6 processing, which will usually call for a pro lab.
-If you want to shoot real black and white film (not drug store C-41 B&W like Kodak BW400 or Ilford XP2), consider developing yourself. You don't need a darkroom if you aren't making optical prints. A bathroom is fine. It's simple, you get more control over the film (e.g. you can push/pull the film to change its ISO/ASA) and much cheaper than getting a pro lab to do it for you (drugstores can't do this type). You need a bathroom, some chemicals, a changing bag a developing tank, a relatively dust free spot to dry your film, and some supplies.
Pike Place Market. First shots from the new toy I bought back in Thanksgiving. Currently in the learning phase (Haven't done any actual photography since high school; nine years ago).

Cool shots! What camera/setup are you using?
Not a great shot, but it was an honor to listen to these men this afternoon...
