Paris on 120 Film | Kodak Portra 400 | Mamiya M645


I'm going through a bit of a travel bug at the moment, so it's only fitting to share more travel photos! When we went to Europe last year, I carried a Mamiya, a Canon MKII and my iPhone. I kinda wish I only took my film camera, it was really just such a delight to spend time on each photo in contrast to snapping a million on my digital.

In saying that, I also wish I took more film in Paris but I was rather sick and wasn't feeling up for it most of our stay and sadly it was raining most of the time.

We stayed 9 days in Paris at the beautiful Hôtel du Panthéon which we absolutely loved. We thought staying in it was far less touristy. It was close to Rue Mouffetard which has some amazing selections of restaurants, cafe's, butchers, bakeries and by far the best creperie at Chez Nico. The first photo below is Wayne and I after a long day shopping around Paris, ended up back at a cafe on Rue Mouffetard called "Le Verre à Pied" which we then found out was a used in the film Amelie, one of my favourite movies!

How beautiful is Paris?

      I love Paris too! I did student exchange there, I've been a few times now and it's always amazing. Amelie is the best! I think French movies in general are awesome :)

      Thanks Tash! I can never get over Film, seriously the results always outweigh my digitals... film never disappoints that's for sure. It's nice that you recognise these spots, Paris has my heart forever.

    Paris looks good on Portra 400. That was a good choice of film. There's a good balance between the warm and cool ends of the colour spectrum. The highlights aren't blown out like they would be on a lot of digital cameras.
