I had a role of Ilford Delta 3200 sitting in the freezer and unfortunately I didn’t have any other black and white film for a trip up into Rocky Mountain National Park and during a snow storm. I decided to go for it. Since Ilford Delta 3200 is actually a ISO 1000 film, I decided to shoot this role at 1250, but still process the role at 3200. I had a 6 stop variable ND filter with me to help cut down some of the light in the bright scenes and so I could try to do some shallow depth of field work as well.

This is a continuation of the Saturday Night in Denver blog post but these images were taken with my Minolta X-700 using my 35mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.4 lenses and 800Tungsten Xpro C-41 Color Negative Film. This film stock is ASA 800 so for the most part it was probably going to be too dark so I decided to push the film one stop to ASA 1600. I’ve heard you can push this 2 stops, but decided to play is safe. I did end up with some images that were too dark.

My wife and I met some friends in the Berkley neighborhood in Denver, Colorado a few weeks back so I thought I'd bring along my film camera. It's a Minolta X-700 and I decided to put on the 35mm f/2.8 lens and capture a few images of the neighborhood, especially after the lights went on. I had a roll of Cinestill 800Tungsten film and I was curious what it would do with the bright lights and in particular the red lights. This film stock is a tungsten balanced color stock film made from the same film stock that cinematographers use, designed for low light situations.
