One of my first film photos in decades. Steve bought me an Canon EOS 620 that works with my current lenses. This image is from the first roll of film I shot to see how the camera works. It's so weird to go back to film again. I keep looking at the back of the camera to check my histograms and image. Weird, eh?
Shooting film does bring back the carefulness in framing a shot and the anticipation of of surprises to see what the film reveals. I used Tri-X 400 film, aperture priority with f 8.0.
Jack-of-all-trades, master of some pretty much describes my life. This blog has several themes: wood turning, photography, travel, science, fieldwork, family, friends, music, and miscellaneous things I encounter. I hope you enjoy it - feel free to leave a comment to let me know you've been here.
oh deer oh deer!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat you really want is a manual focus film camera :D
so do you have a scanner?
to sometimes try and get the discipline I stick the camera in black & white mode and put a prime lens on it!
Hi Pete -
ReplyDeleteI have a really good scanner that accepts film as well as slides. Right now I'm using a 50 mm prime lens, but this camera works with all my Canon lenses. I'll try it this weekend with the EF 24-105 f4.0 L and with the EF 100-400 f4.0/5.6 L. We're going to see the huge gathering of sandhill cranes over in Indiana.
