Two thoughts on the mountain of film I got back from the development lab today.
First, I need to learn how to hold my camera without leaning to the side.
Every square format shot is tilted. Do I have one leg longer than the other or something?
Second, I am not vibing with this brand of film. I bought two rolls of 120 and two rolls of 35mm. I shot the two 120’s last week and one of the 35mm’s today. After I finish the last roll I think I am done with this brand. Oh well.
I got my new batch of film scans back today! Can I get a WOOHOO from the audience?
I just got the scans from the four rolls of film I sent out for developing! My new/old ebay purchased medium format camera works! Well… it produced an image. Moron over here didn’t figure out how to actually use it correctly until he’d basically ruined two rolls of film, but those two rolls of film both produced images that look mostly okay!
My Lomo Lubitell 166 Universal works!
That image is from the second roll. Note how there are two images over lapping. That is because I am an idiot who is bad at geometry.
The second roll came out much better than the first, but the first one was exposed when the back of the camera popped open on me. Everything was messed up to various degrees.
The next roll I shoot will be better… I think. We’ll have to find out. Focusing this thing is a bitch, so who knows.
Pretty sure I just snapped my first picture using a medium format film camera. Also sure that I screwed up and wasted one shot before I did it. Also also sure that the one photo I took is going to be a blurry mess.
Happy New Camera Day!
