Spidersnaps: Rise like a phoenix

Been a while since my last set of analog snaps, but I have a good reason :-) Late last year, the UK's Harman Technology (makers of Ilford and Kentmere) made quite a splash when they announced they were making a brand-new ISO 200 color film in-house called Harman Phoenix... I managed to get me a first-batch roll of Phoenix from a different store than my usual in January for THB 480 (about USD 14), but only started shooting it in late May and only finished in late August in my Kodak M35, with me going a whole week or so between shots in some cases (esp. towards the end when I was kept from taking the camera to some potential opportunities to finish the roll :-\) What made it rather hard to shoot this roll was that despite the nominal ISO 200, it's actually less sensitive than that, so with that in mind, I kept my eyes out for sunny days (less common around these parts between May and August due to rains), and made a point to take photos with the wide aperture ("flash") mode... Turns out it pretty much only works outdoors :-\ but with the proper amount of light, it produces pretty vibrant and contrasty colors :-) (It's been compared to cross-processed slide film, and in fact some have even cross-processed it as slide film :-))
