Added 2021-08-26 10:28:02 +0000 UTCI got the scans back from that experimental roll of film that I used in the little vlog I made! The images turned out very different than I anticipated. I hadn't thought, that they would be this dark, to be honest and also the focus isn't quite right in some of them. But nonetheless, I actually feel this adds an atmosphere to the images, that is very otherworldly and dreamy. I definitely do not consider this to be a fail, since I am learning so much from the entire process. I only just started out using analog film and there is so much to learn! Sometimes the camera doesn't cooperate and you just don't know why or you are using a new kind of film, of which you don't really know yet how it will come out... To me it is so fun to try all of these things and see how the results end up being. I feel I am broadening my horizons and honing my skillsets and I think that is something that will always pay off in the future. If I would have to think about what I would do different, next time I use this film, I am not entirely certain yet, as to what I would say. I considered exposing them more to make them brighter, but I actually feel that if you look at the tones in my skin, it is not too dark at all. I guess its just that green turns fairly dark with this type of film. I do think I need to learn to set the focus a bit better, which I find quite hard whenI am doing self-portraits because the subject of the photo (which is myself) isn't actually there when I am focusing and I just have to image whereabout I would be... Either way I still feel proud of the outcomes of this particular roll. I like that it looks like I am floating in space and that it feels more like a painting than a photograph... If you made it this far down and read all of this I would really love to hear your thought on this. Would you do something different? Any tips or tricks?
