Brunch at belcourt

Last Saturday involved this impromptu brunch at Belcourt after we happily caffeinated ourselves first at Abraco. There was a bit of a wait (duh) so we opted to eat at the bar, which resulted in the below two pictures.

Metering on the Contax (which I've dubbed "Connie"... does that make me even crazier?) is a bit tricky and I had to do a bit of correcting on this particular roll. Ok... so the Contax is not entirely faultless. Of course, some girl walked into my frame right as I took this lemon shot, agh!

To me, it seems obvious the below shots are digital compared to the above film shots, but I'm not so sure how apparent it is to the unbiased eye. Particularly, I think the difference in highlights between the two gives it away.

Like many brunch spots I've been to recently, this place is also streaming with light and has that rustic-y charm. The croque-madame was rich and pretty solid brunch food.

My thoughts are all over the place and rather choppy this Tuesday night. Time to get off the computer, Alice.

  1. The lady in the lemon frame isn't that distracting. Kinda nice really. But I'm a guy.

  2. I would say you are in the new norm, naming your camera. And I agree that getting photo-bombed by Bokeh-girl isn't all that bad :D

    Great set. I'm hungry.

  6. that restaurant looks like a photog's dream! sometimes all that light can make the highlights too hot (seems like that's a big difference between film vs digital -- harder to get blown highlights in film), but it looks great here.

  7. Delicious looking! Of course it's breakfast time right now, so I probably shouldn't be looking at your pictures b/c they're making me hungrier.

  8. This place looks adorable. It kind of reminds me of the Roebling Tea Room which I think you'd enjoy for brunch... another reason to head back to Bklyn!
