I shot this roll of film fairly quickly. A lot of the photos arent great, but ive been trying to see what i can get away with. especially as this film is 3200 i wanted to see how far i could push my luck and some are shot at 1/30 of a second, when my light meter said a slower shutter. I really need to start writing down the settings on photos, especially on rolls where im just trying stuff out. All the photos were took in 2 sessions.
Some of the photos have really good contrast, while others are a bit flatter which im guessing is bc theyre underexposed. Im still trying to work out How i want to take photos at night, as i think there are some interesting effects u can get, however I want to get the contrast of lighting and finding sometimes the highlights are too light and at the same time the shadows are extremely dark, so i still need to find the right balance, which im guessing will come with practice as i get more used to the best light settings in these darker environments.
worried im getting too frivolous.>? not thinking. but maybe thats good atm. dont think im getting as many good photos out of a roll... also with the wonky viewfinder and lack of focal image, i needto be a bit more careful perhaps,as it makes it a lot more difficult to get the image level and also if the focus moves i dont realise until the image has already been processed.
this one looks faded, think maybe i could fix it by darkening the shadows, however in general its a pretty basic image not that interesting.
This one's been growing on me. mostly bc it doesnt really look like a photo. it was supposed to be a lamppost.
First photo so far that Im pretty happy with. I like the contrast and motion in it as it looks kinda printed / double stamped. I also like the shapes that come out in this contrast with the dark right side and gaps in between
Again not a perfect photo and not that interesting. I do think however it would be interesting in a certain context. maybe as a part of a series or story or something like that. I dont hate the fuzzy quality either.
A photo of some lights under a shelter by asda. I like this one quite a lot.
rubbish tbh. I remember waiting for a car to take this. Perhaps next time i could use a higher f stop and longer shutter speed so the light is more spread across rather than blown out in one spot and then everything dark. I guess use the car lights kinda like a laserr in a scanner does and let it roll past and light the surroundings? no clue if that would even work.
This turned out nice. decent balance of the bright lights and dark darks. blown out in small places but it doesnt take over the whole frame. The shape of the building gives a nice structure to the photo and so does the drizzle oflight reflection in the right. I also like that the roof is darker than the sky.
dont even know
I think this would have been ok if it was in focus. If it was less exposed the parts of the cash machine would be too dark and anymore the light would take over...
niceeeeeeeee love the shapes in this
like the depth of this with the reflections and condensations
this turned out ok too. like the slight incline and the posts some of which are wonky. like the cicle blobs of light. russian suprematism?
like elements of this but not really as a whole. eg the bars on the gate
didnt turn out perfect, but like how to text turned out,despite being a bit blurryyyyyy
maybe could have done with being a stop darker? that way could see more elements of in the store.
quite like how the focal point is in the top right corner. a little weird but kinda interesting? esp with the line of the floor/store dragging u to it...?
has some magical essence to it i think..
this and next one kinda remind me of olga karlovac's work ish
very flat and dusty but perhaps works in its own special way? i do like the structure and shapes created.
think this is nice to be honest . likethe phonebox,the sun like orb, and the shadow of buildings in background. german expresionism? maybe would bea better painting? could exaggerate these elements above i think
no perfect but think i like ?
when taking this i liked the juxtaposition of the two stems going into the air one of a builing and one some sort of elecrical pole i guesss?
need to remember i need to focus on the window not the background/infinity as the reflection is close lol not far.
like the build of this. wanted it to look like one of them photos online of rooms that look like something but are nothing. think theyre ai generated tho ew
think this is maybe my fave of the bunch?...!!! think i took it at 1/125??? that feels wrong tho idk but i think it was bc of the car lihts that i chose that
cant remember whether these were took at 1/60 or 1/30. the snow definitely made everything brighter though
boring photo but weirdly i think i like it but dont know why.
took balancing my camera on my car
thots/conc.
think about where im metering. check for harsh light sources n think about it a bit more.
write down settings as taking photos
take more care on straightening camera and not knocking focus dial when taking photo
would like to try this film maybe in the day, where theres less contrasty light just to see.
would like to try another bnw film w tripod n longer shutter speed. prob 200 speed
the more experimental ones work better in this film as they work with the grain. maybe can try work with the shutter speed and blurrr as the ones that are 'good' photos would prob look better w finer grain and cleaner.
do have a dreamlike quiality to them. snowy, mysterious, quiet. have a very strong atmosphere
