The small town of Erice, perched on top of Mount Erice surrounded by beautiful trees, welcomes you with a charming corner adorned with dry field flowers and a rustic meadow. All of this captured in a beautiful analog picture. 😊 💛
Ok, the old uncle at Whampoa Colour Centre film lab in Singapore wasn't kidding when he said he does good scans. S$12 (US$8.80) for dev and 16-base scan. Best deal in Singapore. A lot nicer than the other labs, too.

My advice for anyone who shoots Kodak color films: they love light. Give them more light than you would other film stocks. Their exposure latitude is wide, but it favors overexposure most of all. This is in contrast to, say, Lomography color films where the exposure latitude is pretty equal in over and under. If you want a good ultra-low light film for dim daylight, go for Lomochrome 800 and for night shots, go with CineStill. Portra 800 looks underexposed in the same conditions.
