Welcome to a Vampire Movie

On Saturday I took in Mount Diablo with a Pentax K2 and my K-7. I brought a few lenses and managed a few shots. The K2 I loaded with Adox 100 CHM ART, which is rebranded Efke film made by Fotokemia. That means it's great film and it truly is.

Right as we reached the summit parking lot, a dense fog bank rolled in shrouding our trip in fog and cooling the air by a dozen degrees. With the fog, I decided to try and get a film noir-like look to the images. It didn't work exactly and I think the result looks like a depression-era vampire movie. Still not a bad result.

I didn't keep track of any exposure data, so today will just be some photos.
