A day in LA with a GA645ZI & TMAX 100

A couple of weeks ago I dropped off my Pentax 6x7s with Sayed at Walter's Camera Repair in Los Angeles. One needed new seals, the second needed the meter adjusted.

After dropping of the cameras I took a walk around the neighborhood with my Fujifilm GA645ZI loaded with TMAX 100 and a Nikon O56 orange filter over the lens. Here are a few of the pictures I took.

Construction on César Chávez Ave. 1½ blocks West of Grand Ave.

Downtown Los Angeles from César Chávez Ave. just West of Grand Ave.

Central Los Angeles High School #9 : The Los Angeles High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, This fire truck is responding to a call with siren and lights.

The lobby of the High School on Grand Ave.

An LA Fire Department EMT responding to a call. The picture was taken from the SE corner of of César Chávez Ave. and Grand Ave.

The Los Angels Metro Bus #55 headed East on César Chávez Ave.

The Los Angeles Merto Bus #2 headed East on César Chávez Ave. and stopped at the SW corner of César Chávez Ave. and Grand Ave.

All of the above photos were processed and scanned by NCPS.

what is ncps? lab?

one of the shots (palm trees) looks almost IR.

that is some more lens. why the orange filter? does the lens need more contrast, or is it a tmax100 thing?

NCPS = North Coast Photo Services - I get all of my black and white and some of my E6 & C1 developed and scanned at NCPS. Most of the E6 and C41 I have developed and scanned at PCV.

I use an orange filter with TMAX 100 most of the time, becasue I like the look. I am not sure why, I just like it better than yellow or no filter.

Very nice pictures. I love shooting in LA. There's not another city in the world just like Los Angeles!
