roll no. 3

Have had this roll of film in my camera for MONTHS. Fujifilm Pro 400H this time. Here are my favourites, you can see the rest in this set, on my Flickr. The first couple are from a crawfish boil we went to a while ago. Oh, how we like the craw.

Happy weekend!

roll no. 2

Got my second roll of film developed yesterday, and I'm pretty happy with the results. It's exciting to get some good photos back, especially since I have a fear
(and actually recently dreamt) of getting a roll back that is completely blank!

I loaded this film (Kodak Portra 400NC) into my camera when Jon's family were over, so have quite a few shots from around BR, and our visits to Memphis and New Orleans. Here are some of my favourites:

Mmm... filmy. The rest are in this set, on my Flickr.

I recently bought a Pentax K1000 from KEH. I'd been thinking about getting a film (35mm or instant/Polaroid) camera for a while, and was especially inspired by looking through the beautiful film shots on Brian and Molly's photostreams. I really like the look and texture of film photos. I like that the process makes me slow down, to be more selective with what I photograph, and try to compose my shots better so I'm not wasting my film (when I have plenty of space on my DSLR memory card). I'm hoping the more I use this, the more I learn and more practise I get, the better photographs I'll take (with both my cameras). And I do like the idea of having lots
of lovely pictures to look at and remember everything by.

Here are a few photos from my first roll* (there were also a couple in the last post). Stay tuned for more, I've nearly finished my second.

* I was a little disappointed with the processing of this roll. I took it to a local pharmacy, and my film came back marked (see above) and creased. Oh well, lesson learnt, and better luck next time.
