Black and White on film (a repost from my old account)
My other passion
Apart from being a full time mother and wife I also dabble with photography. I would definitely not call myself a photographer yet, but rather a practising photographer.
Digital cameras and Photoshop has certainly made it easier for more people to take plenty pictures and make it pretty after. I miss film cameras. There’s less margin for error and mistakes are expensive. You were more mindful of your focus and settings when taking a photo. I miss the anticipation of waiting for the film to be developed to see how your photos turned out.
Editing photos certainly has its advantages, but personally I’ve never been a fan. Maybe because I’m obstinate by nature. Maybe it’s because I still love the challenge of capturing a photo that doesn’t require any editing. I think it’s mostly my love of the challenge.
Below are scans of some of my photos taken about twelve years ago on black and white film.

So what’s your opinion? Take as many photos as you can and delete the junk or challenge yourself to take the best possible photo the first time round. I’d love to hear from you.

Keep steeming Steemers!
the arm in the sand is really interesting - congratulations on your curie mention - Steem ON
Thank you very much @gringalicious.
The pictures are definitely great!
But what is the difference between the two accounts; your username is exactly the same...?
Hi @pery. It's just semantics. My previous account is with a hyphen. When I couldn't access that account anymore, I made this account with a dot. My whole life everybody always shortened my name to just Naómi. (don't laugh, but I actually cried when my husband suggested I change my username! It's sad, I know.) It's nice to be referred to by full name on Steemit, even if it is now with a dot. I still read it as my name.
Then also to prove (if it even does) that I am who I say I am.
Oh, I see - thx for explaining! Hope you feel comfortable with your new name ;-)
It's good enough. :-)
