Some Film – Shannon and Melissa

Since I’ve been shooting a lot lately, I’ve taken the opportunity to get out the Yashica again, as well as a Pentax Super ME that was given to me by a coworker.   I bought a cheap used 50mm f2 lens from B&H to make the Pentax a super light portable 35mm camera.   When I got my film back from shooting w/Shannon, there were several frames that ended up double and triple exposed.  I’m not really sure how that happened, but some of them actually looked really neat.  It’s weird to me the different looks of the lighting and the effects the film gives you.  These were all shot against a grey background, but depending on the film, I end up with either a greyish or blueish background. 

Pentax Super ME, Cropped Square, to remove double exposed part of the frame.

 

And with the Yashica Mat 124G, I really love this camera:

 And a couple of Melissa…with the Pentax

 I still have a lot of learning to do to be able to shoot both film and digital.  With film I am learning that if I’m not sure I have the shot, then I definitely don’t have it.  With both of these film cameras I own, it is nice because they both make me really slow down, meter, set exposure, meter again and then shoot, then…wait for the lab to process the negatives.
