Hipstadventures: Lake District, Pt. 2 – Johnny boy

As mentioned in yesterday’s Hipstadventure post, I made use of reliable old John S in the Lake District during a rare window of sunshine and blue skies.

I teamed the John S lens with Blanko Freedom13 to give a sharp, clean border – I’m a fan of minimal borders a lot of the time. I used to hate using the shake to randomise feature and ending up with the Kodot XGrizzled film, with it’s messy edge. I am starting to come round to it, after four years, but it still wouldn’t be one of my default films. I remember loving the Blanko Freedom13 film when it first came out because it was just very clean around the edge.

John S was the perfect lens to choose for shooting photos of a big lake with clear sky above and rolling green hills around – it boosts greens and blues to create stunning nature shots. Think I’ll be saving that combo to my favourites from now on… Boy done good.
