Super 8 footage of Hell's Gate Bridge in Astoria, NY.

"Captains of vessels traversing this perilous one mile passage of the East River described it in logs dating back to the early 1700s, as a key gateway to the Atlantic, marked with a giant whirlpool, punctuated with rocks,reefs, and islands.
To a sea captain worth his salt, it must have appeared as
the gate to Hell".

Filmed with a Canon 814 Auto Zoom Electronic using Kodak Ektachrome 64T Super 8 film. This stock was developed at PAC Lab in NYC.

  • @ryanfoley123 Thanks!

  • Fantastic

  • Sent you a PM

  • I recently just bought a Canon 814 AZ Electronic and some EKTCM 64T and I was going to test it out. Is PAC LAB a good company to go with? I noticed in some of your opening shots, they were alittle dirty, was that because of your camera or was that from PAC LAB's transferring? The ending shots were very clean compared the opening. Why is that?
