My first roll of Kentmere Pan 200

Double exposure - I shot the flowers first and the self portrait second

I haven’t shot that many different black and white film stocks yet, but this one has been my favorite so far!

I really like the blooming highlights, to me it looks like I’ve shot it with a diffusion filter. Although, I will say that I’m not sure if it’s because of the film or because of my 35mm Nikkor lens that is incredibly hard to focus with. Either way I like the soft grain, the strong contrast and the dream-like feeling this film produces. I was able to get those really dark shadows without the image turning completely muddy - something I have struggled with before. I know some people would argue that there should be details in the shadows.

I shot this during my birthday trip to London back in September last year, and then at home while shooting for Abask. I shot two rolls of color film in during the trip as well, and I didn’t really like them. Not so much because of the film, but because London simply looks best in black and white.
