Door County Travels | 35mm & 120mm Film

This year I decided to bring only film cameras with on our family trip and leave the digital at home. Normally, I am tempted to scroll back through photos and even edit a few before returning home when I bring along a digital and I love that with film, there is no option to review photos, or edit them, or post them on the spot, etc.

Film forces me to slow down, be present, and hones my ‘eye’…it is currently extra pricey and you do not want to waste those precious exposures, versus with a digital camera you can take 1,000 photos and then pick one that you like best to edit and use. Then, the fun of sending off your rolls and waiting for the lab to develop and deliver them to you. It is all very exciting since you don’t really know until you open that digital scan email what you have actually gotten.

Since I am mostly resting on the couch these days, and I have a terrible habit of never sharing so many photos, I thought now was as good a time as ever to pop some of these up onto the journal for myself, and hopefully you, to enjoy. We visited a Lavender farm on Washington Island, went to the beach, and so much more.

These are a variety of film stocks: Kodak Portra 160 & 800 on my 35mm Canon 1V camera and Kodak Gold 200 and HP5 400 on my Rollieflex 2.8e Twin Reflex Camera.

Enjoy!
