35mm Film

Over the years, I’ve had a number of film cameras. The small 110 point and shoot and even a disc camera, which was terrible.

I’ve never had a 35mm camera! The past decade I’ve used digital, but recently had a hankering to try film. I want to develop the film myself, which used to be tricky. But I saw a kickstarter for a Lab-Box that lets you develop 35mm film easily at home. It’s not available yet, but I was chomping at the bit. I borrowed Gale’s old 35mm camera, bought a 35mm film and headed out.

These are the results.

Madison Indiana – Fall colours and summer temeratures.

We took a trip to Madison. It was 80 degrees and November! A little unexpected, but wonderful. We even sat outside eating ice-cream. Perfect really. Fall colors and summer temperatures. I wouldn’t say no. But the bright sun isn’t great for photography. So what do you do with all those harsh shadows? Black and white and crank up that contrast. These are all split tone, which I kinda like. Darkens the sky and brings out the highlights. Thanks for looking.

Michigan – B&W

Back home!  1000 miles in 4 days.  But well worth it.  And finally a real computer and Lightroom!  How I missed you.  I’ve posted a few photos while on our trip to Michigan, but now I’ve had time to play around in Lightroom.  I will post a colour gallery as well and maybe a few HDR, but here’s an entire gallery of black and whites for your viewing pleasure.
