When I first came back to film I tried as many different film stocks as I could get my hands on and one of the first was Kodak Ektar 100. One of the main reasons was because it’s easy to come by. It’s incredibly easy to find online and you can even find it in small local photo shops. It’s not the easiest to lay your hands on - that would be Kodak Gold 200 or Fuji Superia 200, both of which you can usually find in drug stores and big box stores.

But I fell in love with Ektar immediately and it’s become my favorite color stock. Its warmth and fine grain give a look that I find just dreamy. Even though its low ISO of 100 it handles low light pretty well - it’s got quite a bit of latitude when in comes to exposure. This is an image from the very first roll of Ektar that I shot and it’s one of my favorite images.
