Some Hardlines extras from @abandcalledheaddent, @ Some Hardlines extras from @abandcalledheaddent, @voidoflife0114, @hardfacts.ukhc and a brief overview of my use with Spectrum 400!

This is the first time using This Is How I Roll’s Spectrum 400 and gotta say, I love the colours with and without flash. For gigs, you can get some really nice deep colours with very slight and next to no grain. 

Also loved putting a slight edit on to the shots to deepen the colours or make them a bit moody. I’ll definitely be making this a regular colour film to shoot with, when it’s back in stock! 😭

Luckily, I have another roll so i’ll be savouring this 😝
