I was kindly gifted some ‘fast’ film by @roo_roo_s on Twitter amongst them a couple of rolls of Fujifilm Superia 1600. I have never shot a fast colour film before so was very interested in how it would look
As per a previous post, I am putting up most of the shots, good or bad, well composed or not so I can see how it worked or didn’t in various situations and you can too.
The camera was my trusty Olympus OM1 and no filters were used this time. I hope this is helpful for you all as it was for me. I would also like to thank @TwinLensReflux on Twitter for the very helpful mentoring, reminding me that making the black colours look like black goes a long way.

Very nice! Although when you said “under cover” I was thinking like 007… 😁
And yes, making black look like black is very important. Once of my principal gripes against the wedding pastel woowoo styles propagated by you know who…

Very interesting colour palette. Reds very prominent, some other colours maybe a bit muted? Perhaps the light that day? Slightly harsh feeling though I can’t say why I think that. I have a roll waiting for me to try; really glad to have seen this. Thanks

Thank you. Maybe harsh as a grey day in the city so the contrast is maybe more pronounced
