Random Film Love Continuation

Monday, September 6th, 2010

I’ve tailored off some shooting film, it’s still being shot, but not as much as I want.  Here’s some random images off of the first roll that I shot with my Yashica.  I need to get around town more, I can’t keep shooting at my old Junior high.  I have some ideas that I would like to shoot on film, I need to explore those….maybe with the success of the toy camera in studio shoot; maybe I should do a series of studio shoots just using that camera.  I’ve been conflicted with thoughts of what I need to do to get my business together and in order.  I promise next Random Film Love will be of something else, not that this school isn’t visually interesting; at least I think that it is…

Film (Lubitel love)

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Well not so much love, more like Lubitel flirting, it’s been so long since I’ve shot with it, I missed the focus on the first three shots I took with it on this night.  These two I nailed the focus pretty much; hey it’s a two element (if that) lens, only one stop down from wide open.  I wished my PC sync on my Yashica was working, it’s lens is crisp, and I would have loved to have shot it.  Plus if you’ve ever shot a Lubi, they can be pretty tough to nail the focus on without regular practice.  But there’s something about the way that these shots came out, the softness of film; combined with the Russian Glass of the Lubi, and the color palette of Portra 160.  And it was just fun using the Lubi in the studio!

Can’t wait to try something like this again….possibly with some new Bronica gear?  Or with a repaired 124g….
