my first attempt at film. my dad laughed at me when he saw me try to load the film in this old (but well cared for) pentax mx which i found in an ad that said 'in search for a home'. last year i tried a friend's film camera only to discover after a few days of shooting that i didn't load it properly. i'm glad some pictures turned out this time but i'm definitely going to need a lot more experience with this camera and film. if you have any tips or stories to share...have a weekendish weekend everyone!
Well done on your first foray, Karen. No advice but hope to embrace it in a big way this year :) ps great little sweet tooth spot too
ReplyDeleteThese photos are lovely! They have a wonderful texture to them that you can only get from film. I can't wait to see more! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula! And hehe yeah I have a sweet tooth! Thanks Robin, I agree that film just seems different doesn't it? More to come :))
ReplyDeleteI remembered the panic I felt when I first switched over to film^^ But that was years ago, and now I love it! I think it just takes practice and understanding the quirks of every camera. Your first attempt is great though, I really like them =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley!
ReplyDeleteYOU need practice?? you look like an old pro to me. this from the woman who was once a declared photography major working in a dark room. most of my film gets "deleted" :) YOU my friend have an amazing eye and a natural talent. and i think it's kind of sweet that you had trouble loading the film and humble of you to admit it~!
ReplyDeleteThanks kitchu and thanks for your story of the dark room, it made me smile. I am always blown away by some of what i see on the blogs (like your recent roll on beautiful sunsets) but i'm enjoying the journey so far and wishing it took a lot faster for film to get developed :)
