Two stops within Paris for a concert & some social time over February 2023.
As the first photo hint it, I shot all of those ones on my Minolta XG-M and a 35-70mm Rokkor lens.
The film itself was two rolls of Kodak Portra 400, versatile and good, as well as one roll of lford B&W 400.

No one can miss the artifacts and light pollution on some photos. Two root cause for this:
- the film wasn't tense enough, making it overexposed/burned. The vertical lines are due to this
- the camera isn't sealed properly anymore (being ~40years old...). This create the light excess on the edge of some photos

It wasn't on purpose, obviously. Not saying it give a charm or anything to the photo, but it give them... something! Up to you to decide what it is 😄
In the end, I liked capturing some moments in Paris, feeling like I traveled back in time with this unique film look!
But a retake with a fixed camera would be a good excuse to travel again...
