Are two of my favourite colours, in case the entire site hasn’t made that obvious. It’s also how I’ve chosen to shoot stuff recently, by which I mean with a camera, and not something else more suited to my current vocation in the army.
So my first roll of black and white film was pretty much an all-around positive experience, my second roll of film decided to truly and completely fuck me over, and yesterday I finally got my film scans back from the new photo developer I’ve decided to try out, because the first one I went to was closed on Sundays and that just happened to be the day I would head all the way to the city just to develop my film.
So you’ll notice that my Flickr hideout has had a sudden influx of photos, presented, curiously, in a format that I’m usually more comfortable with when it’s fully customizable. And I mean customizable in every sense of the word; where I can make red look like goddamn green if I want it to. All with minimal artifacting, made possible with the advent of RAW.
Imagine my surprise when I found myself at the nearby coast, on my bicycle, clutching an unfamiliar Nikon F-301 to my chest, Fuji Neopan ISO 400 black and white film loaded within.
36 shots, and a whole length of beach to cover. It’s a monumental task.
