I've been working on a site across the Puget Sound from where I live since early last year. We're working 6 days/week 10 hours/day so I've been staying close to the site and only going home on Saturday after work. On Sunday evening I head back over on the ferry which gives me a good opportunity to shoot some film. You may have noticed that I have shot many pictures during my ferry commutes lately (more to come).
I finally figured out what was causing the last of the light leaks in my KMZ FT-2 so I took it on a few ferry trips. These were all shot on a roll of expired Recordak Dacomatic Microfilm that I got from James a while back. I chose this film because the FT-2 works best with a slow film and this film is best shot at 25 ISO. The film was developed in Beerenol (Pabst Blue Ribbon beer). Normally I use a tripod with this camera but this time I decided to shoot it handheld. I was kind of hoping for a wavy effect from my not so steady hand but everything turned out almost as good as it would with a tripod.
This is the foot passenger bridge at the Kingston ferry terminal. I shot this hand held as I was waiting for my ferry to arrive.

This is my ferry arriving at the Kingston Ferry terminal. I steadied the camera on a railing for this shot.
