Dancing in The Snow

Uploaded: December 31, 2005

Description

Walt and Joanna dance amidst the snowflakes during their September wedding in Boulder, CO. Their outdoor wedding had been cancelled due to a major early winter storm that came in the previous day; they regrouped and held the wedding at a friend's home and then went outside for a dance in the afternoon. Shot with a 100mm f2 lens with Tri-X.

Hi Shawna,
That was shot on good old fashioned film (Tri-X, 400 ISO)...
Lots of folks still shoot film (including me!)...
Cameras are cheap compared to digital (you can get a used Elan 7 or 7e from a place called keh.com and find a camera for well under $100!)...or if you spend a bit more, you can get an EOS3 or EOS 1v (still the best film camera I have ever used)...
Color negative film can still be processed and scanned - viola, you have your image in digital format!
I use a great lab called Richard Photo Lab in LA (http://richardphotolab.com) and they have become the place for portrait and wedding photographers to send their work for processing and scanning. I highly recommend them!
Hope that helps (probably more than you expected ;-)

P.S.: Richard Photo Lab can also scan silver-based films like Tri-X in addition to the c41 (color negative films). There's even a c41 b & w film available that gives you some advantages in scanning...though I'm kind of a film purist and LOVE Tri-X.
It's the first film I learned to shoot when I was a kid and it is still an awesome film. #9352353
