1. Back to Disney Studio, in Disneyland Paris. Crush Coaster is one of the best ride over here. I absolutely love it!

2. Kisses and smiles. Yes, I still love to see that, that’s part of the real magic of Disney.

3. I took this shot in the action and I’m kind of very happy with it! It seems more natural and it’s exactly what I want to aim at, for my future photographs.

4. This shot was taken in motion too, as you can see Mickey jumping around! “Hello Mickey!”

5. And the beloved castle of Disneyland Paris… It was Spring season and it sure be my favourite for anything, included walking in the parks. Very enjoyable!

6. Let’s go back to trees. And nature; although we are still in Disneyland Paris. It may be the place where you feel in nature the most.

7. Big Thunder Moutain. Let’s resume it with words that aren’t mine:

“Howdy folks! Please keep your hands and arms inside the train, and remain seated at all times! Now then… hang on to them hats and glasses, ‘cause this here’s the wildest ride in the wilderness!”

12. Cider and Guinness with fellows. I like how the flash behaves on my Minolta. Still better than those LED or cold tempered lights.

Camera: Minolta Dynax 500si & Sigma 28-80mm AF lens
Film: Kodak Portra 800 #001 — development courtesy by OldSchoolPhotoLab.com

Story of the roll: By shooting a colour Kodak film, I was expecting something like I remembered from the 90s and the early 2000s, my memories about Kodak photographs, that were kind of popular. That special feel you get when you look at them. But the Portra (here in 800ISO) doesn’t seem to fit my memories and it might not be the Kodak film I was looking for. At the time I’m writing this, I’ve shot one roll of Ektar 100, and I prefer the palette I got with it over the one with the Portra film. I’ve also shot a Kodak Gold 200 and my expectations on this film particulary, are higher than ever! Stay tuned for the prints as soon as I get them.
