first steps into the world of analoge photography

got my developed film back yesterday.

they are far from perfect, the focus is off on some pictures and the pictures in general have a yellow-ish tone and have a lot of noise, but those (especially the focus and noise thing) are things I expected. and while they are not perfect, I kinda love the old film look they have.

one of those, where the focus was a little off

since I'm definitely planning to explore the world of analoge photography more, I thought about a way to keep the costs for film and developing to a minimum. took me almost all day, but I've finally figured out how to convert a photographed color negative to a postive using PS. haven't perfected it yet, but the finished pictures are viewable ;) so yeah, that'll definitely save some money on picture developing

just for comparision, the store developed picture (rigth) and the photographed negative side by side.

they both have the pros and cons, but I kinda prefer the left one color wise.

Balda Baldinette / 50mm/f2,9 + Fuji Superia 200

vintage camera love

it was my grandpa's birthday this weekend and I brought along the Voigtländer to try it out. showed it to him and he got out his (very) old cameras. since he doesn't use them anymore he gave them to me :D is that awsome or what!?
I got an old Canon Eos 700, which I remember form my childhood, from when my grandpa still used it to take pictures of us.
the other camera I got is a Balda Baldinette with a 50mm/f2,9.

it originally belonged to my great-grandfather, which just makes the camera more special for me. bought some film today and already shot one and took it to get developed.

I'm really curious to see how the pictures turned out, since I have neither a light meter nor a distance meter, so I pretty much had to guess both and it was all very experimental hehe

gonna post some pictures when they are developed and I get them scanned

every once in a while...

...I get over my laziness and take my camera with me all day
