I think it was about a year ago that my mother in law gave me her old Pentax 35mm film camera to try out since she no longer used it. \u00a0I had purchased some film and took it along with us on our vacation to Martha’s Vineyard but had a few shots left on one of the rolls of film. \u00a0We were going to see Luke over Thanksgiving so I thought it would be perfect to use it up then!<\/p>\n

I have to say that I have A LOT to \u00a0learn when shooting film but these few images didn’t come out too bad considering I haven’t shot film on manual focus ever and you can’t look at the back of the camera to see if your shots are coming out how you want them too! \u00a0I may have done that more than once;) \u00a0I also do not have a light meter but was relying on the in camera meter for my settings, which seemed to work out alright for now but it wasn’t perfect. \u00a0I would LOVE to get a film camera body that I would be able to use with my Canon lenses so it’s going on the wish list this year. \u00a0I did absolutely no editing(except to remove a scratch on his face) to these after I received the scans from Indie Film Lab which is a nice break from how I work digitally. \u00a0The colors were just how I like them and I think the contrast was nice too. \u00a0I can get used to this no editing thing, that’s for sure! \u00a0I am interested in taking a film workshop but the one I wanted to take is 16 days before my due date so I’m not sure it’s wise to sign up for that one since it’s a 3 day workshop not too close to home. \u00a0Anyway I will be sharing some more film work over the next month form our trip to Martha’s Vineyard so come back soon.<\/p>\n

So have you always wanted to try film photography? \u00a0Do you have any tips or suggestions? \u00a0Please let a comment I would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n
