Garden in September
These are just a few of the pictures I took of fruits and flowers growing in Marietta, North of Atlanta, in early September. The flower is an Angel’s Trumpet, the grapes were of the Muscadine variety, and in the third picture, we all recognize a tomato.

I’m usually not a big fan of Kodak Gold, but I must say these are gorgeous! The colors are wonderful, and the grains are very very nice too. Great work!
Thank you for appreciating the grains, which is the main appeal of these pictures. I noticed that the Kodak Gold 100 works very well with my Canon AE1 with mid-day sunlight. For example, the featured picture for my Verizon Street Art post was shot with both Kodak Gold and Kodak Ektar and the cheap Kodak Gold had much better results so I didn’t publish the Ektar version. I think I know why and correct me if you disagree or if that doesn’t make sense: I noticed that the Ektar is saturated with blue hues when used with a lot of sunlight and my belief is that Kodak composed the chemicals of the Ektar to compensate against the yellow hues of artificial lights so when the picture is flooded with sunlight, there is too much compensating blue hues.
Oh, that make sense!! I’m a fairly analytic person too, but I have never thought of it that way, I just dont like Ektar very much because of it’s color cast.I have experienced it more as a magenta stick, but it is certainly due to circumstances and air pressure, and other stuff.
Very interesting observation!
