More Film
I have not had a lot of opportunities to get out and shoot as of late, but when I do I find myself getting out the Yashica. Last week Liz came home from work looking especially beautiful and I made her sit for me for a few minutes. I snapped a few off with both my Yashica and my 30D.
Here’s a side by side shot of both, the Yashica on the left, and the 30D image (square cropped) on the right. Considerably different look, I think. Both images shot at ISO 400, f4, 1/125s.
Here’s another, just the film this time. Daphne seemed to want in on the action, so we had to oblige.
And now one of just Daphne, this time taken with Fuji Provia transparency (slide) film. It has an AMAZING look to the film, but is a bit more expensive to process. Having transparency film is much nicer because you don’t have to scan the images to see what you end up with, you just have to hold them up to a light source.
And a couple from my sister’s softball game in Mansfield, TX last weekend. Again, with the Fuji Provia 100.
I think I may try experimenting with processing some black and white film at home. It costs about $15/roll to have it processed at most of the local labs, but you can get a kit (including all the chemicals) to process it at home for around $40, and that’s enough chemicals to last a good long while. Unfortunately to process the transparency color film, the chemicals come in larger volumes than most consumers would use in a reasonable amount of time, but the black and white home processing (at least from what i’ve read) is totally reasonable…and there’s no darkroom required as long as you’re not printing/enlarging.
