wildflowers, film

These are the pictures from my minolta camera that i had bought a few weeks ago. So, i just wanted to let you know, it is a success. my test roll is a good surprise. i have lots of photos that are better than i had imagined. I was a bit concerned about the clarity of the glasses, but it looks ok in most of the photos. the focus was a bit trickier, so i have quite a few blurry shots, but i will probably get better after practising more. a few photos that i took late evenings (and was sure to get black frames) turned out really well. most important, the light captured by this camera is beautiful, what a joy! i will show you more in the next comming days.

i havent tested any other films with this camera, that i had tested before with my Zenit, but i had purchased some new (kodak ektar and kodak portra) and now testing, so it will be interesting to see something else besides of fuji superia or kodak gold. i will tell you more later.

adventures on film

Zenit film camera, fuji superia 200 film.
This is my third film roll and it brought me another disappointment. About 1/3-1/5 of each picture is splashed with harsh yellow orange light. Some of the pics can be somehow saved by cropping but most part really not. I must have let some light come onto the film roll :P and this time i did not duplicated pictures with my digital :( i did duplicated first two, then decided it was silly and meaningless. Now i almost regret.
From the other side, most of the pictures are worse than i have imagined anyway (have you not had this thought about a thousand times yourself?) but there are also a few that i would have liked quite a lot.
Despite this accident (and i understand it can happen again) i love how my film photos look, love the feelings they convey, the colors, the depth, the grain and the textures, love how they tell stories more convincingly than digital would do. There is no way i would stop :)
