Film Camera a Month - June

Although a little late, I'm still excited to get to share June's film camera!

This month I used my gold toy film camera, which doesn't have an exact name but I call it Superheadz Ultra Wide and Slim :) It already had film loaded which I could date back to 2014 when I processed the photos *gasp* so grateful for this project and encouraging myself to use my cameras :) 

Also this month's film was lomography's lady grey 400 black and white film.

I was wondering how black and white film would go in this camera knowing it does really well with colour (although you do need to use it on super sunny days or have high ISO film). Turns out black and white film in the camera is great and dare I say even forgiving on those less than bright situations! If you check out my film camera guide there's more of a write up about the camera for those interested.

Above is the 2014 shot, featuring a rose which would make a comeback in 2017, turns out I still dig roses :)

 On top of our water tank has the prettiest setting sun light! The cats are drawn to that area to - although I don't think Peachy here was too keen to be a model :P

Sword fight kitties!
I may have set that one up :P

Holga 135 - Lomo Lady Grey Film

I was almost not going to post these photos because they are super super old but I figure film is always fun to share no matter the date. I shot these guys using lomography's b&w Lady Grey film (400) in my Holga 135bc which I'm going to rock later in the year for my film camera a month series, so stay tuned for more!

It's brown haired fee - gasp!

Holga 135bc

Time to share some more film photos that have been sitting in my hard drive for FOR-EVER! I'm talking like two Halloweens ago or something crazy! I thought I'd put together all my show photos (ekka + aussie world) where I used my Holga135bc camera - a plastic fantastic beast which takes 35mm film. The colour photos were taken with 800 Lomography film and the black and white, also a Lomography brand - lady grey (400). I did a bunch of things like use flash, long exposures, double + triple exposures, so enjoy the madness!

B&W film photos

Today's blast from the past is a bunch of film photos I had developed and which I scanned myself (see here for that tutorial!). They are mostly from my trip to Melbourne last year, where it was my goal to use film each day.  Kind of half failed, only managing to get through one roll but I did love that one roll, so maybe less is more?!? For those playing along at home, the film I used was lomography's lady grey 400 and I shot on canon 1000f :)

I'm off to Japan in March and I'm hoping to try and take up the film challenge again and hopefully this time more than one roll!
