We took a trip out west in September of 2023. I had a work conference in Scottsdale, and we hadn’t been to California in a few years. My son wanted to see Universal Studios Hollywood, and we wanted to see a friend who had moved to Santa Barbara several years ago. We stayed at the Santa Barbara Inn which is right next to the beach and is highly recommended. You can take in the view of the early morning cyclists and joggers from the patio as you enjoy your breakfast. We had a lovely stay, and look forward to returning soon. These shots are the last bit of Fuji 400H which I had in 35mm. It’s clear that the film looks much better fresh, but given that Fuji discontinued the film, there is really no option for fresh film. I do have some 120 left, so I had better get to shoot that before the beauty of that film is lost. All shot on the Canon EOS 1v with either the Canon 24mm f/1.4 or the 50mm f/1.2 lens.
