It's very interesting to see your film photography! I would love to know how different you found the experience, what was the camera/film too? Also, it does look as if you've post-edited these…have you done a bit of tweaking? I hope you are encouraged by these to take some more analog pictures!
Hi Suzie! First of all: yes, indeed, I will definitely try to take more analog pictures! Although, I found it quite different from taking digital pictures. What I found especially challenging was that I couldn't see the results until after the holidays. With the digital pictures: when I scrolled through them I could instantly see if my adjustments brought me to the results I wanted. With the analog camera I was somehow "blind" - so I had to trust my adjustments a lot more and it is more experimenting in its literal sense. But that is also why, somehow, I thought more about the things inherent to photography like ISO and shutter and aperture, than I do when taking digital pictures - which is natural, because the analog ones cannot be deleted again... So at the end, it brought me nearer to photography. And although, they didn't all worked out, as I had imagined, they mean much to me, and make me want to try it again and again.
Difficult to describe, though...
I shot with an old camera which belonged to the grandpa of a friend of mine - it is a Fujifilm SP-3000 (at least the EXIF-Data told me so :) ) and the first thing it taught me after picking the pictures up was that, in my opinion, I used a film which had too much ISO for the bright light of southern France (400)...
And yes, I did a little bit of editing afterwards, not much though, because somehow editing analog pictures in Photoshop is for me a little bit like disturbing them, if you know what I mean. So I just adjusted the colours and the lights a bit - things I can hopefully easily do with the camera itself when I am more experienced, I think. And since I am a colour-addict, I wanted them to be brighter. But as I mentioned, Photoshop and analog somehow don't go together for me - maybe some day I will be able to learn how to adjust them in the laboratory... or to shoot them correctly in the first place :)
Much to learn and much to do - but it is also so much fun!
