I know that POTNers are bleeding edge photographers that love talking about and shooting the latest equipment. My Digital Rebel spent more time annoying me recently (too damn slow) so I started shooting a lot more film again on my Elan 7E. I "discovered" Kodak Portra this summer and immediately fell in love with its look and feel. Here's some shots I took at my Grandma's 80th Birthday of my family.

A shot of my girlfriend with my Uncle's EF 16-35L at minimum focus distance for a good laugh!

My Cousins giving me no respect when I put the camera in their face:

My Mom and Dad in the kitchen cleaning up:

Finally, My Grandma and Grandpa: (too bad about the person in the back....)

The last three shots were shot using my EF28-135mm and a 580EX flash bounced for light. I really like the way they turned out. I've spent the past year or so shooting mostly film. It's changed the way I go about photography and made me have a clearer vision of what I'm trying to do before I press the shutter. I just recently acquired a 20D, and I'm hoping the lessons I learned in the past year will show in my digital photography.

Those are some great shots, the last two shots are my favorite. There's a real traditional essence to them.

Yep, better films do better than those you buy at the drug store! :) What speed was it? 160 or 400 I'd guess.

It was 160NC. Fairly well lit room, with a 8 foot white ceiling. The 580EX flash had no problems bouncing enough light. :)
