Bored stiff during a trip to Malaysia to visit my folks, I finished a roll of Agfa Vista 400 film that has been sleeping in my Nikon FA for some time. Well, it was sleeping in there til I totally forgot about it, and ended up losing few frames when I accidentally opened the back, exposing them. Damn! It’s my 2nd last roll of the Vista film and this has to happen. 🙁
It’s actually my first time trying to shoot such subjects and I was shooting at f2.8 most of the time. The result? Some crazy shallow depth of field that threw some of the shots into some super fuzzy state with only a tiny sharp area. Somehow I missed shooting macro on digital, where I can preview the shots, say a few F-words, and adjust the aperture accordingly. Anyway … here are the surviving shots …
Wow … some very nice shots you have here. These are taken by a SLR? Not digital I suppose?
Wilfrid, thanks. Yeah they are taken with a film camera. I’ve been messing around with film for a couple of years now and only ocassionally I’ll shoot in digital. 😉 Film is fun!
Film camera! High end stuffs! My dad loves film camera. It is way too complex for me. I may get a DSLR though, if I can figure out what to get.
You have a wonderful site here. Now that I am looking at it closer. Must have put a lot of effort to do up the gallery eh? Professional photographer?
Wilfrid, film cameras doesn’t mean high end stuffs. I got started with film because of low end stuffs … plastic cameras, toy cameras and cameras that many will roll their eyes when they see one. LOL.
Thanks but I ain’t no professional photographer. I just want to maintain it as a hobby and nothing more 😉
