Leica- Expired

When I was given the Leica camera I was given a pile of film and most of it was expired. I decided to give a roll a go and big surprise, it did effect the quality. The photos turned out grainy and really lack in giving shadow and depth. But some people are into grainy shots, so here's to you. These shots are taking throughout Eastern Europe at the end of last year. Not sure if I will use the rest of these expired rolls, so if you want some, let me know.

Leica- Gemany/Vienna

So this is my first roll of film developed from one of my favourite new cameras, my Leica M6. It has taken me a while to get used to this camera, with its separate lens/viewfinder and getting used to using a light meter is has been a challenge. This was a cheap roll of film but picks up some serious colour. These photos were taken throughout Germany and Vienna in November of last year. I really miss Autumn, especially now we are living in an area of Australia that has no real change in seasons.

Blues and Greens

Here are a few film shots of Biarritz, San Sebastien, Hossegor, Bidart, Verdon Gorge and Maubec. I am always suprised at the rich colour my Pentax K1000 gives. Enjoy.

ressurection renault

Some of you may know but when in Biarritz our beloved Renault 4L died. A piston had blown and metal had gone throughout the oil and engine. This happened a few days before leaving for farm life 200km away. We left it in the hands of our new friend Rico, an old German rocker, who lives in Biarritz with whom we speak English. Rico initially was going to help us sell it as scrap and we would hitchhike the rest of the way home to Avignon (500km), but called one day to say he found a new engine for only 150euro!!! We are so happy to say we will be picking her up this weekend to take her on the road again. We have many more journeys around france to have with her and we just hope she treats us well.

roll of rollei

Today I had a lovely surprise waiting in my inbox from our good friend Cesar. He was so kind as to develop our first roll of film from our rolleiflex. We met Cesar through blogging and both love his blog, check it here. I am excited to shoot more on this amazing camera and get into using colour film again. Anyway, here are a few shots from roll #1. Thanks Cesar.

collections

The other day I added a new camera to our collection. So I thought I'd just share a little shot of the film cameras I own. The Voigtlander , Sprocket Rocket, Rolleiflex Carl Zeiss F 3.5, Pentax K1000, polaroid Land 100, Agfa Sillette and Fuji Instax Mini are such differnt cameras but each have their own little charm. I'm especially excited about developing some 120 film with our Rolleiflex.

when in france

It's only fitting to start a roll of black and white film in Paris. I, like many others love using black and white film. It sometimes seems silly considering technology does everything for us these days. "why not just shoot in colour and edit later". There will always (I think) be a huge difference between digital and analog. The same goes for black and white film. It's a different feel, grain and use of light. I really love it and hope you do too. These are a collection of shots from Paris, Orleans, Brittany and Provence taken on my pentax.

French countryside in Film

This is a collection of shots taken from north to south of France away from the big cities. Once again, I have enjoyed the end results of new film and new (1950's) cameras. The grain, the blur the colour.
