Film Photography #4 – St. Lucia

I traveled to St. Lucia for my fourth and fifth rolls of film! My fiancée Katy was doing photography for a beautiful elopement there and captured some amazing moments. Her day before photos are here, elopement day photos are here, and day after photos are here. I was lucky enough to be able to travel with her and we spent a few days in and around Soufrière after the elopement. All of these photos were taken there.

Katy had an old Canon EOS 3 laying around so I picked it up to try out 35mm film after getting used to 120. I wanted to try something easier, cheaper, and more accessible to balance out the extreme hesitation I was finding I had with my Yashica.

Camera: Canon EOS 3

Film: Fujicolor PRO400H (35mm)

Katy’s clients were happy to let me take some shots of them above Soufrière with the two Pitons in the background. The town is known for the Pitons.

Petit Piton is visible from town and hides Gros Piton.

The EOS 3 has a flash!

Katy, keep your eyes open!

That’s better.

We went birding with a local guide named Thomas.

There are hot springs all around town. We went to New Jerusalem which is where the locals go. It was just as beautiful as the other hot springs, less crowded, and cheaper.
