The final and longest series of my New York visit. This is the first of ten posts of rolls of Kodak Portra 160 shot with the Nikon 35 TI. What you see here is what you get when the weather is not playing nicely and you still refuse to stay inside. The rain caught up with me halfway on my way to the Highline, and by the time I reached the north end of it, I was already drenched. I should have brought an umbrella, which was rectified on my way back.

Seriously wet.

The next New York series features rolls of Kodak Ektar 100 shot with a Nikon F3/T. The lens that I used was an F-mount-adapted Leica Summicron-R 90mm f/2. Only after returning from New York did I realize that the lens allowed focusing beyond infinity due to the adaption to a different mount. Many images that were shot when focusing at infinity according to the scale on the lens turned out blurry because of that issue. This is part one of a four-part series.

A while ago I had another opportunity to visit New York. The developed rolls are already tucked away in their archival sleeves and the scans burn a hole into the disk space on my computer. When I saw the results for the first time, I had mixed feelings: Some of the rolls had suffered from the X-ray scans that they had to endure. Many images showed bright areas from what I think is the result of harsh light and no lens hood available for the Nikon 35 TI. Some rolls looked like there were accidents during development, even though all chemicals seemed to work fine for other rolls before and after. I have spent some time culling those rolls that I deemed unusable and ended up with enough images that it seemed to be sensible to group them into film stock and lose topics. This post is the first of two parts that present images from four rolls of Cinestill 400D. Topic: Skyscrapers.
