Photo Albumtoy cameras etcJun 11, '07 11:36 AM
for everyone
this is a collection of photos shot with different film cameras. shooting with film is still a different experience. since i shoot digital most of the time, i long for the suspense of shooting film. sans the instant view, i don't really know what i have until after developing the roll. that's what's exciting about it. but i don't shoot with just any regular film cameras, i prefer the non-traditional ones like pinholes, lomos and classic cameras. this further heightens the experience since most of the shots you'll get are somewhat different or least interesting :)

this is also a good way to train myself not to "chimp." Chimpping is the term used when photographers check the LCDs at the back of their cameras everytime they shoot. they tend to look like "chimps" when they do that. hence the term :)

another good thing about shooting with film is the discipline. when i was starting out, i tend to shoot a lot then choose later. this is a headache afterwards since i have to go through hundreds if not thousands of photos. now i really think about my shot even before i lift my camera.

natural yan. it's really a characteristic of that camera. (vivitar ultra wide and slim). i just pushed the saturation in PS. sabi nila it's kinda similar to the LOMO LC-A. hehe mahal kasi nung LC-A that's why i tried this out. :)
