Photography and Cameras.

All shot with various films on various dates. Couldn't recall most of them now ^^'7

These two were taken in November last year in London, along with the Britannia statue I showed you in the other thread. These are unedited though. Ultramax 400, I think.

Taken somewhere sort of near where I live, with a Lomography roll that fat-rolled. I think it came out pretty cool though~

Goodwood Revival last year. Pretty sure this one was Portra, probably 400.

Then more misc photos

I think this one was with Fujichrome, but can't remember which exactly.

Lomo purple, I think

These look like Portra, but I'm not sure

    Oh wow, all of those are very comfy. I really like the third one. Those white blemishes give it such a dreamy mood. The first one is also very comfy, but I'm a sucker for urban photography. I also like the last two. Very nice depth of field.

    You have a good camera, and an even better eye.

    Okay then, it's my turn now:

    Vienna spiders.

    I won't tell you what this one is. It kills the magic.

    Just some death and decay.

    And a friendly reminder that beauty is where you look for it. Even in an obscure warehouse.

        WorstFriend I won't tell you what this one is. It kills the magic.

        Hmm, if not water, it looks like something soft but crystalline. Maybe a macro shot of years' worth of condensed drink spills on a bar table...

        That and the one with the... fur(?) are my favourite ones of this set ^^

        WorstFriend You have a good camera, and an even better eye.

        Only the two city and car photos can be considered to be the camera doing a good job, as that one was taken with the Canon A-1, which has auto exposure. The rest are all with the purely mechanical GL690, so a lot of the time it's super hit or miss, especially given the weight of the thing.

        I like to think I have a decent eye for things, but in reality these are some very finely cherry-picked examples ^^'7 That said, film photography (especially 6x9) is expensive, so it forces one to think a bit more carefully before opening the shutter. The downside is that I haven't been able to get a whole lot of good action pics.

            As if mine aren't. As if anyone's aren't. That's just how it works.

            So is instant photography, though I don't know how it compares, so I get that feel. I still can't afford more Polaroid film.

                WorstFriend Dunno which film you buy, but it looks like 8 frames of Polariod Color 600 cost £19.

                C41 6x9cm development with 6x4" prints costs (also 8 frames) £11 with the lab I use (excluding delivery). If you include my favourite film, Portra 400, which is £74 for a 5-pack, that adds £14.80 to the cost, for a total of £25.80 per roll.

                So yeah, 6x9cm just about "wins"... Always thought Polaroid stuff would be cheaper!

                    Mmmm, Polaroid's I-type film is cheaper, I assume it's because the cassettes have no battery inside them (I have to say though, compared to my Instax, which I have to charge, the batteryless 660 and 670 are very convenient). On a sidenote, those new Polaroid cameras look very interesting, especially the I-2. Might look into them one day when I have enough money. There's so many instant cameras I want, I don't think I'll ever get myself a proper analog or digital camera...

                    Oh and by the way, I thought you guys might like my weebified 660.

                        Same place, taken today with my phone ^^

                            WorstFriend I'd definitely put a blanket down first - the grass was pretty tall ^^' But yes, it was quite nice~ I didn't stick around though, as I was just taking my Volvo for a drive after carrying out some percuissive maintenance on the throttle body.

                                I won't ask how you know how polish countryside looks like.

                                Oh my, he looks quite plump!

                                He's just a cute tiny lil explorer. A funky little fella. A friend with too many legs.
