Sakura / Cherry blossoms ...

[Freakscene]

The sakura are very beautiful.

Fuji used to make Fortia SP, a super high saturation E6 film for photographing cherry blossoms and autumn colours. Maybe Fuji could put a Fortia mode in their digital cameras . . .

Fortia SP and TREBI100C I really miss.

Fortia SP and TREBI100C I really miss.

There is some Fortia floating around on eBay from some Japanese vendors at some pretty significant prices (and that was before tariffs were imposed). Beautiful film.

I went to Washington to photograph the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin, but unfortunately the only day I was free was a few days before peak bloom and the flowers were still wrapped up tight in their buds, and due to family obligations I couldn't have a do-over later that week. Oh well, I did my best.

I just checked メルカリ, a Japanese platform, and there was FORTIA offered for very high prices. Now it’s peak season but not worth the money I think. Development of E6 films here in Japan has become very expensive on top of that.

I live in Washington. These photos were taken in Washington DC.

Nice photos, though. 🙂
