shot with a lomogrophy 'la sardina' camera
Film photography is harder than I though. Much harder. Back in September when I purchased my "La Sardina" in Berlin, I was sure that I would be able to snap beautiful, "tumblr-like" photos in a second. Well, two film rolls later, turns out that it's not as easy as I thought. Pretty sure the guy at the lab felt sorry for me when I discovered that 90% of my last roll of film turned out blurred and far from the kind of photos I wanted to hang all over my room.
I'm trying not to get discouraged, but I'd lie if I said that just the mere though of going to get my next roll developed, and getting back photos that look as though I shot them with a camera that had been run over with a car, doesn't make me want to give up (not sure if that sentence made sense, but lets pretend it did).
The photos above were taken in three different, beloved cities. All were taken on bittersweet days, but looking at them now makes me happy.
Love, Alona
PS- I got a new design! Thanks Kyo Studios for making my aesthetic dreams come true <3
I love film photography...
ReplyDeleteI really like these photos, they look "real". When I used to shoot film I used to get so discouraged when some of my rolls came out like crap, but one thing that really helped me, is that I made sure to have tons of lighting, and to really take my time and take the picture.

Don't give up! Film photography can be a hard transition but it's so worth it when you get in the swing of things. There's something so great about good film photos - such a classic and lost art!

love your blog design, it's so clean! Also, I love film photography- It takes a bit of technique and you really do have to understand the light levels etc so that it doesn't turn out to blurry/ light or dark! Once you get the hang of it you'll love it more- and I kind of like your vintagey photos, they have a nice charm to them!
ReplyDeleteGreat post :)

I was equally disappointed when I first used my lomo cameras. I think part of it is that at least my photos only looked good with film that was at least 400 ASA. When I shoot film I usually use an olympus compact camera, and I love the results. Try using a film with higher ASA!
ReplyDeleteAhh I actually love your photos, film cameras are beautiful in my opinion. They can create things that a DSLR can't, I wish developing film was a lot more accessible!

Nothing beats film photography <3 I have a lomo camera as well and it takes medium format film which is a bit annoying since developing is a lot more costly. Well, lovely photos!

These are such gorgeous photos! Honestly, some of the blurry and messy ones might have something special to them too. I've been dreaming of purchasing a little Polaroid camera for that very reason recently!
