A Foray Into Film

in #photography8 years ago

I've been a digital hobbyist photographer for six years, starting with the usual learning curve that I expect many male urbanites go through - being overwhelmed by what I needed to learn, decided what I liked to shoot, settling on urbex, growing out of it, lusting for full frame, obtaining it, being sick of carrying heavy cameras, downsizing. After that, or similar experiences, I think it's pretty natural to lean towards experimenting with film.

I bought myself a "Texas Leica", a Fuji GW690, a light meter, and went to work. Here are a few images from my first foray into film photography. Am I hooked on it? No. I love it, and I love the quality the images have - but it is expensive and time consuming. Will I continue to shoot more film? Absolutely!

Hi @lynchpin. Great shots. I never really developed a knack myself; guess its not as easy as it looks.
@exploreadelaide has a good eye.
Adelaide steemians are meeting at the jade monkey beer garden on the last Thursday of the month from 6pm.
It'd be great to see you there :)

Thanks Matt, unfortunately I couldn't make it, but I work with Tim so I'm definitely going to pick his brain. See you at the next one, hopefully!

Great plan. If you want to buy or sell steem or sbd, come prepared; I want to build a culture/expectation that we stay away from exchanges and their fees wherever possible and just transact in person.
:)
