Bored -- film at 11

Dee

Well, actually it was earlier than that. I found this roll of 35 mm film, pulled out of the cannister and left, deserted at the beach. Of course I brought it home so I could play with it. Well, today while making some new products at zazzle and waiting, waiting, waiting for the java script to do it's stuff, I pulled out a piece of photo paper and the film and played around. I did a lot of stuff in post -- lomo script, holga script, shadow/highlight, photo filter... enjoy.

It sure will be difficult to do cool, neat stuff with compact flash cards won't it?

I think this is a really cool shot. Lovely strong colours, dynamic angles, really good.

Thanks for sharing.

I should also add that this brings back great memories. I love using film, just don't use it much these days:cry. This shot really brought that bck to me - possibly partly why I feel it is so powerful. thumb

Thank you for the comments
I'm showing my age I guess! How strange to think that my grandson won't know what "film" is! I remember struggling with the end of the film strip trying to get it to load properly without exposing too much of it. Trying to flip the advance lever enough so I would be sure I got the unexposed part! Then when we developed our own black and white film, trying to fish out the end of the film to load it onto the developing tank reel. Trying to remember when rewinding the film, to gauge it just right so there'd be enough left out of the cannister, but not too much that it would expose the first image...OH! and fishing around in the changing bag trying to get everything lined up...Oh, the good old days... NOT!

I remember waiting for the film to come back from the lab... hoping my photos turned out knowing there was no way to reshoot my vision!

Now I can review on the LCD, change settings and try again, instantly! And if all else fails, post process in photoshop...

Of course, now I have thousands of images on slides and color negative that I need to review and preserve... sigh... I don't even want to think about it. I'll have to ask my girls how much of this "family history" they are really interested in. It's just not worth all the effort if they just don't care...
