So, for my very first proper post, I thought I'd show some of my recent film experiments. I'm completely new to film and developing so forgive the dodginess. Annoyingly, my biggest problem is digitizing the images. While I love the colour and experience when shooting on such a format, displaying it on the internet really shows it's limitations.

My first keeper :D Probably my first outing with my recently acquired rangefinder, the marvelous Yashica Electro 35. Also the first roll I ever developed so I'm pretty happy.

Next is a nice shot from a very long expired roll of film I found in a box of old darkroom stuff. I'd say it's been sitting in an attic with temperatures from 15-55 Celsius for around about 25 years. Not the best quality but quite fun.

And finally, a colour shot. Got some cheap rolls off ebay an quite liked how this turned out. This was actually "scanned" using a ghetto lightbox and my DSLR with some extension tubes. Turned out alright and a much higher res file than my crappy scanner.
Anyway, those were my first few shots. The rangefinder makes portrait shots much more fun, and with the current OCAU competition for candids, I've been taking a fair few just to play around. It's been great fun. Just waiting to get some more B&W film and try out my rangefinder now that I've cleaned the glass :D
Well, til next time.
