I bought a box of film for last saturday, but I didn't need it....so I shot a roll today and had it developed to see what it's like. Somehow it's really nice with bright colors that don't have any white/light areas - the high lights seem to make the exposure a bit difficult on this film, but still, when shooting something like this photo, the kodak portra 400 vc (means vivid colors) really rrrrrrullllezzz for a c-41/color negative film. Weird thing is that kodak film never turnes out to be exposed well on all shots....always very irregular - some awesome stuff and some horrible stuff :P Well, just wanted to share....just to kill some time, cause my provia rolls will be done on thursday =)

That is nice rich colour you've captured with this film Rork! I like the POV on the petals in the shot too. :-)>
