Post your favorite shots, cameras, printing techniques, etc.
No care if you're "good" or not, this thread is about fun with film.
Some recent/not so recent ones I've taken:
Vivitar NP2011 Panoramic
Contax RTS
Today I'm planning on building a little matchbox pinhole and fucking around with that. Should be fun!

here's some point&shoot ones I did last year though:

and i have a lomo fisheye. i really like the pictures that have come out of it, but i don't really like using it for everything.
i always wanted to try out an underwater/waterproof camera. i have no idea where i'd even get one though. | | Back to top | |

Nice! And that's a hell of buy. What lens do you use for it? because I know there's like a specific lens you can use for it which would make the colors and quality really nice. | | Back to top | |

High contrast. The focus isn't really this bad,
scanners just don't help.

More in my www if you want...
did your camera bring in any filters, I love the colors in these.
Nah, it actually came out like that because the film expired sometime in the 90s but I used it anyways. It was my dad's camera in the 1990s and there was a roll in it and I was just finishing it out... there was a picture of my sister in 4th grade (and she's a junior in high school now) so the film was just mad old, but I still liked the look.
Word, I still like it. I haven't really used any expired film but by looking at your photos I'm convinced to do so sometime soon in the near future.
Some pictures from around last summer. I need to develop and scan some I've done recently. All on a Canon AE-1.

The same way people saw photos before the internet, I suppose.
If I want something online, I'll shoot it digitally. If it's something I know I want to print, I'll shoot it on film.
I will admit, it's kind of weird, but it makes sense in my head. | | Back to top | |

why not do both? you can have film developed straight to cd, and you get negs, meaning you have a digital copy as well as you can make prints of what comes out... around here i pay 2.99 to have film developed to cd and then whatever prints i want are done later. it strikes me as the most economic method of photography short of doing it all yourself, which i have yet to learn. | | Back to top | |

The images that come on those CDs are pretty janky when it comes to scan quality. Plus, all the film stuff I shoot is 120, which is more expensive to have developed, let alone scanned.
I never shoot anything for work on film. It's always personal. If I scan it, the images just end up sitting on my computer next to all of my work images and random digital bullshit.
Again, saying this outloud makes me sound like a pretentious ass, but it makes sense in my head. | | Back to top | |
