Photography and Cameras.

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.

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

                      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.
