275: Digital VS Film

The age old question! But it makes a great pic. This evening I had the pleasure of hanging out with the friends I studied design with. We love getting together for a beer, a good old gossip, some (often inspiring) creative nattering and the opportunity to bust all our cameras, photography now another shared passion. Today I think we totalled 5 between 4 people - a record! Imagine if Ash was with us :) When Tash get's this film developed I'll see if I can get my hands on her photo of me photographing her. That would be a great side by side post.

146: Fun film camera find

Check out this cool old Konica Ben's Dad pulled out of his office recently. What a great find. I had a lot of fun earlier in the year experimenting with my Canon EOS 3000 and got some great prints out of it. I'm pretty keen to get a film in this one and go out on another photoshoot. Old cameras are so exciting.

074: Not the original 74

Today's photo was actually of water trickling down the glass in the shower, however I seem to have experienced some technical difficulties which have resulted in a select few of my pics being wiped from my camera's memory card. I am bitterly disappointed (guess I should be using a polaroid camera instead and then wouldn't be in this strife) as I just cannot understand why this happened, so if anyone can offer any suggetions into why my camera would register recent pictures along with a whole bunch of older ones and then just delete the handful from the last couple of days and not touch the others that would be great. Luckily for me I'm still keen to show off some more of my film camera results so I can use some of these shots as back up. This one was taken from our early camping trip at the beginning of this year when I stumbled across the tiniest of tiniest post offices. These were the PO Boxes outside and I just loved that rustic and old look to them.

I still feel a bit like I am trying to make excuses for my incomplete homework to my teacher but I guess you guys will forgive me this time?!

068: From the heart of photography

That's right today's pic is actually a film photo taken on my old Canon EOS 3000 and today was the exciting day that I got my first prints back. So I'm being a little tricky here in that I didn't officially snap this photo today but I did recieve the photo back and get to look at it for the first time today, I think that counts just as much don't you?! Anyway luckily for me I get to make the rules, and today is all about the heart of photography - film. I was both pleased and disappointed with various shots from the film. I'm stoked that some actually came out, the waiting game is a whole new (or should I say old) element before you get to see how your pics come out and this is one of the things I relish about this form of photography. I can see I need plenty more practice at mastering the old beast. Should be fun!

009: Music to my eyes and ears

Again I find myself pottering around my house late at night looking for a subject for today's photograph. I finally settled on my flat mate's old and slightly out of tune piano. I like the way my digital camera has given me a photo that looks older and grainier, like a film camera could produce.
