The Formal Film-Journey continues...

A couple weeks ago, I drove around on my day off with my two 35mm cameras; the Pentax K-1000 (color, Kodak NC160) and the Canon Rebel 2000 ( Ilford HP5 Plus, ISO 400), plus some new lens filters. I've only to get the color film processed and got a few that I liked only to find that my scanner isn't quite true to the print colors. I am not sure what to do about this, but for now I still had to enhance the images so they look as close to my color prints at I could manage.

I feel like I have a ways to go before I can say I'm really an artist at this point, but I feel as though I have at least found life beyond my DSLR, even though I still needed digital enhancements in order to make the images look like they need to. The important thing is that I HAVE THE NEGATIVES.

Sticking to it

Of Vast Interest, 2011


The declaration I made last week about shooting mainly with film has not been with any furious photo activity, or maybe it just feels that way because it's not realistic to go shoot a thousand photos. I have taken some photos, but I still have film to shoot on my cameras and don't feel like I am in a hurry. In the interest if keeping up with the blog, however, I thought I'd upload a few photos I took this past spring for my black & white class. While not perfect, I still like the images.

Till next time,
