I know this style of photography ain't for everyone, but for once I was pleasantly surprised with how these came out!

These panos were shot on generic drugstore 400-speed film using my Diana F+ and the 35mm adapter.

Maybe seeing them all together at once is a little overkill. I'll stop now. :lol3

Happy snapping to everyone as we roll into the weekend!

    I've never shot film before, but I have got to say this is a very cool way to present these panos. I love the throwback feel to the presentation. I could see how you could put these together on a wall as a triptych or such. Very well done

    Hey Doug, thanks. Yeah, I think the adapter may have gotten knocked or it didn't gauge the frame size right, so each one shows a fair amount of overlap. Consequently the lab probably didn't know where to cut them.

    I don't really mind because that's the joy of the cheap plastic cam, but you're right. It might be fun to piece them back together and see what they actually look like. :D

    Love it - I think there will always be a need for film in this digital age! Are the black borders original or your PP? It's quite unique with its retro feel and reminds me of my first pics decades ago!:D Not to mention just plain fun!

    Thans, Eia! I used an adapter for a medium-format film camera to shoot on 35mm film, so the sprockets were exposed as well. The tough part is, apparently, finding a service that will properly scan the whole thing, not just the center part. That is, unless you have your own scanner.

    So far I haven't really had to do any digital post-processing for my film shots, which I could get used to. thumb.gif

    Sign me up for the "no-processing" thing! They definitely have a retro vibe to them. Very creative.
