These images were shot a few months ago.. In april I think... I used a Praktica MTL3, it's a beautiful camera, fully manual. Strangely it has let some light in on to the film in ocasional shots. The result is the following. These are 100% crops from the scanned version of some pictures.. - just click on the image for a full view -I believe it has as well become in itself a bit artistic. Accidents happen and sometimes I'm glad they happen.. Well I was pissed after seeing these accidents, I had payed 30€ for the film to be developed in a shop. When I realised that extra light had entered my images I was really sad.
Strangely, time has passed and now I'm posting the exact thing that left me pissed off about not having a digital SLR. After knowing that this camera has this faults I still want to keep trying and shoot in film some things. Inspite of the expensive costs... I find it so fun to do.. Takes time and patience, but its is interesting. I know I will have a lot of spare time to explore the camera this summer holidays and I can't wait to feel a little more creative then I have felt lately.
Today I went to the town center to see an art exhibition. After this I sat myself down on a bench in a park- it was a sunny afternoon, on a saturday, I was trying to photograph people but they all ran away from me - literally! As soon as I was focusing a little boy, the mother started to shout at him «come here, now!» as soon as I focused a couple, and they realised they were being models for my pictures, they stood up and left the spot. I wasn't feeling like going there and ask them for pictures so, they probably thought that I was some kind of stalker.. Or crazy... Or just out of this world... I really need to find myself a nice model that has enough patience for my amateur experiences! Know anyone?
