Finally has time to sort out photos from my France trip... :sweat:

Thanks to mrX for loaning me your Canon VI-T and thanks to Wong sifu for offering to loan me your pimped out M3... hahaha too much of a responsibility me to accept your offer :sweat:

I shot my entire trip with Canon VI-T with Canon 50mm f1.2 lens. Not easy at all... focal length too tight, but has to make do with what I have.
Mostly with Kodak Ektar 100 (love this film) and once in a while with Kodak Ultramax 400 (budget film)

Spent most of my 14 days in Aubenas, a small village dates back to the middle ages, a day at Lyon and last 3 days in Paris. Aubenas being my favourite place as it has such a rich history and its architecture is beautiful.
People are very friendly and the warm sunshine with cool wind is splendid to chill and stroll around. :thumbsup:

Power bro!!! Love the series. I sense a certain sepia tone in your photo. PP?

The smell of pine trees in the south of France is definitely something that I also miss...

Thanks bro! yes yes there is some PP in them... but only on colours, no sharpening.

Nice series and captions. I particularly liked this one.

Thanks! this is one of the shot that has focus shift when shot wide open... note that the picture where I focus on is blur while the seat behind it is sharp...

Keep on posting Derrick. It's good to see photos of my home country!

Ahhh so that is Pine? no wonder it smells so good... like being in the Alps.... not those smelly tropical jungle smell lol... will post more tonight... it takes awhile to sort them out... I shot like 22 rolls... oh yeah, Thanks Max for giving me some tips prior to the trip!

I really love vintage cars.... only this vintage peugeot can stand shoulder to shoulder to the architecture of france.

I love all the windows in France... if I have to capture each and every different window that is different in design, that I see, I don't think my 30 rolls of 36 frames are enough...
