FP4+ Summer Shots

Got a roll of Illford FP4+ back yesterday. This is the second roll of film I shot on my Canonet QL17 GIII. Most of the shots are just everyday stuff from around town in Santa Cruz, and shots of my family.

This roll was a bit of a mixed bag. A number of shots turned out kind of soft/blurry. Some of that is probably due to missing focus, some of it is motion blur shooting moving subjects, and some of it may be shooting at lower shutter speeds.

FP4+ is a 125 ISO film, so it's possible some of my shots had slow shutter speeds or smaller aperture values.

After having a really successful first roll of Portra 160, it was disappointing to see a few ruined shots that could have been awesome if they were in focus or sharper. One of the tradeoffs of shooting film, I guess.

Either way, a few shots turned out pretty cool. I do like the punchy contrast of FP4+, and will be curious to see how it compares to some of the HP5 rolls I've been shooting recently.
