Cape Cod 2010

by EveNSteve

Made it Cape Cod this morning for my yearly outing and teaching a private workshop over the next few days. My plan is to also test the Kodak Portra 400 on this trip for an article here on FR late next week… So far the film has really amazed me… But now I need to turn my attention to steamed Wellfleet Littlenecks for lunch!!

Please note that the test files are kinda big so if you have a slow internet connection just be patient. Also note that the different composition is due to the different aspect ratio but I tried to get at least the top and bottom about the same.
