A few weeks ago I had a long weekend in the UK. I had been invited by a Timothy Everest at Grey Flannel to attend the Concourse of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace on the Friday. It wonderful event, with many amazing cars. I took my Hasselblad 503cm, with my 80mm lens and a few rolls of Kodak Gold 200.
On the Sunday of their same weekend I went to a local car show near a good friend (and photographer) Matt Cooke. We went to the 4th Annual Brightlingsea Scout Group in Brightlingsea, Essex. It was a lovely little village car show, with a mixture of classic English and American vehicles, there were plus cups of tea and home made cakes like Victoria Sponge and Lemon Drizzle cake.
It was an enjoyable weekend with classic cars, cameras and good friends. Looking at the results I feel the Kodak Gold 200 has a lovely fine grain and a slightly muted colour palette. As it wasn’t a particularly sunny day over the weekend (just hot and humid), so maybe that is why I feel the colours are muted compared to how I remember the colours.
I took the learnings from my last video and took one camera, one lens and one film type. It made a big difference in not having too much to carry around or deciding what film to shoot. I can’t deny I didn’t wish I had wider lens for some of the shots.
