Orcas Island Vacation on Film

It’s time for another film share!  I’m involved in a monthly blog circle through a fun film group called Film Mama.  Each month we post a blog share of some recent film photos we’ve taken.  This month I’m happy to share film from a recent vacation we took.

In June we spent a long weekend in Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands off the coast of Washington.  We went with a big group of friends and stayed at these fantastic cabins right on the beach, the Beach Haven Resort.  The weather was amazing and we had so much fun!

I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to use my film camera, my Pentax 645n.  I brought several rolls of film and ended up using Portra 160, Fuji 400H, Ektar, and Tri-x.  Here are a few of the images from each roll from the trip.  It’s interesting to see how each one responds to different lighting situations.  Which one is your favorite?
