Happy Film Day

I got four rolls of film back from the developer lab today. Happy new film day! Two of the rolls are the October entry in the Frugal Film Project. I’ll post those another time (tomorrow?). For now though, here are a few highlights from the other two rolls. Most of these are from Weir Hill in North Andover, MA.

The first few are medium format. I took them with my Lomo Lubitell. The film is Lomography 800 which is pretty fast but I still used a tripod for most of them.

Now we have a few 35mm pics shot with my Nikon N90 and the magic known as autofocus. Ironically, these are the same type of film as the medium format pics. Lomography 800.

How about some apple picking pics to wrap this up?

That’ll do for now. Maybe tomorrow I’ll post the Frugal Film Project and bombard you with 24 medium format pics. We’ll see.

Film Thoughts

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.

Medium Format

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.

New Camera Day

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!
