Photos: The Next Generation (Film Edition)

I put up a post the other day with some photos I took when I went to the ocean and Plum Island. At the time I said there would be a film edition of the post to follow and this is it.

Sort of.

I shot two full rolls of film. One 35mm and one 120. I also finished off the last few shots from an old roll of 35mm. I got them all developed and the scans came back the other day and last night I uploaded them all to Flickr and now it’s time for another post here.

Sort of. I am saving the 120 shots for another post. These are just 35mm pics. I’m also thinking of trying to sort of mirror the previous post. This plan probably won’t last for long, but let’s see.

The sunrise view sort of sucked, but I got a little glimpse of it. This is my Nikon FG-20 shooting my first ever roll of Lomography 800. I like the way the sun flares. At least the tiny bit of the sun we could actually see.

I think my plan to follow the first post is already dead… maybe not. I think this is from Salisbury Beach but I’m not sure. This is from my Pentax K1000 shooting Kentmere 400.

(note: on second look, I’m pretty sure this is Hampton Beach when the digital post was still at Salisbury Beach. Let’s not worry about that now though)

This next picture is crap, but speaking of sun flares! Woah!

Here’s one that I took on both film and digital. I can’t tell which is better. Maybe the film?

Another that I can’t tell whether it is better or worse than the digital version. This was with a 50mm lens and the digital was with an 85mm so the crop is different. Is crop the right word? I don’t think so.

The digital version of this is way better. Oh well.

Shooting black and white at the beach seems sort of silly, but I kinda dig it.

That moment when the sun came out… nice.

I thought maybe the light was better at this spot when I was shooting film than it was for digital. Maybe not.

Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. Please don’t explode, m’kay?

For the birds, at Hampton Beach.

More birds. I don’t think I have enough bird-centric film pics to stay on track with the previous digital post. Sorry.

Plum Island airport.

Why do I always stop here on the way out to the lighthouse? I haven’t a clue.

The Merrimack River from Plum Island.

Dig that blue water.

And by this point both 35mm cameras were out of film and I was not going to take the time to reload so this is where this post ends. There will be another post from this day that will have the 120 film shots. That’s going to be grouped with some pics I took in Boston last week. I’ll explain later.

No Film… Again

Another weekend without sunlight and another weekend without me shooting any film. I guess I can just post a bunch of pics from the last batch I had developed. That will hold me over… forever.

More Fun with Film

Did I take advantage of the perfect Spring weather to go out and take a shit load of photos today? No. No I did not. I suck. To make up for it, here’s another bunch of pics taken with my father’s Pentax K1000.

Note the matching t-shirts.

Not a horse’s ass, but…

Will I Bring it Next Time?

If you had asked me two days ago whether or not I was planning on bringing a film camera on our next Florida vacation in June I think I would have said no.

Then yesterday I got a bunch of film developed and now I think the answer will probably be yes. I am so easily manipulated.

Seven Rolls

Seven rolls of film. All downloaded, sorted, cleaned up, and uploaded to Flickr. Here are a few randoms from the haul.

From Burlington, VT. I don’t remember the name of the bookstore.

From the Atlantic Ocean in Hampton Beach, NH. Splash.

From the happiest place on Earth.

From Animal Kingdom… unless it’s from The Last of Us.

From the lake surrounded by the Beach Club, the Yacht Club, and the Boardwalk hotels in Disney World.

With Kylo Ren at Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios.

From Rockefeller Center in New York, NY.

And in closing, my new favorite photograph.

So Close Now

One work day after today. Two days until the first full day of vacation. Three days until we fly to Florida. It is getting harder and harder to focus on anything else. I still need to pack. I still need to decide which film camera and how many rolls of film to bring.

I probably won’t bring any black and white film, unless there is already a roll in whichever camera comes along. Dad’s Pentax is empty at the moment. I’m thinking of bringing that one. We’ll see.

This water fountain is in the hotel we stayed in last time. I just can’t remember which one (we stayed in two last time). It is either Coronado or Saratoga Springs. My beloved bride, Jen, says this was in Coronado. She’s always right.

Last Christmas on Film

Just prepping myself for tomorrow by looking at some film photos from last year.

Dad’s Camera

I took this with Dad’s camera last summer. Or was it the summer before last. I don’t remember. It was at Nubble Lighthouse in Maine.

I took Dad’s camera to New York this past weekend and with the exception of a couple of pics with my iPhone it was the only camera I used. It’ll probably be years before I get the film developed though, so you’re just going to have to be patient. You and me both.

Ocean?

Sunrise is at 5:10am tomorrow.

Photos at the ocean?

I don’t know if I will be able to wake up at 4:00am in order to get there in time, but if I do I’ll have a digital camera and a film camera and it will be cool.
