Personal | Macro Monday

I can't believe I can't get these up on time, but then yesterday was full of stuff to get done, including developing a roll of film for the first time ever.

These are the results of my first Film Photography assignment. They look pretty dark here, but if held up to the light you can faintly make out the detail in some of the photos. And they're dark because these are the negatives. When developed, they will be very white, due to my lack of experience with correct exposure settings. I hope the next assignment turns out much better.

Personal | Macro Monday + SLRs

Today's macro photo is brought to you by Long and Mcquade, the number 9, and the letter G.

I finally have a capo! Not a great big fancy one - I'm not that rich. Just a small capo that does the same job. Plus it's cute.



And on the note of new things, I have a couple new toys to spend my time getting to know. The first one is a film SLR, all my own! Automatic and manual functions, film, 55mm lens.

And the second is an SLR, completely manual, borrowed from my Photography class to use for the assignments. Manual only, film, 50mm lens.

Today's class was a lesson on shutter speeds, apertures, light testing, loading film, and winding the film when it's all used.

I love the sound of the shutter opening on the manual SLR!

Personal | New Camera + Macro Monday

Isn't she beautiful? This is just an online photo as I don't personally have the camera yet. But I am getting it! Manually functional film SLR, 35mm lens. It's going to be great. And, given I can find a 50mm lens for it, I can use it for my film photography class this Summer.



Annnnnnd because I've been awful getting the Monday Macros up, I'll do one today. Yesterday was pretty busy anyway.

On a clear day, dew still lingers.
