Was a huge pleasure taking pictures of the sweet and super talented Bec Sandridge. Still super sorry about using expired film and the super grainy discoloured photographs. Check out Bec's music here.
Earlier in the year, I brought my smena with me during a couple days we spent down the coast. I had no idea I left the camera set to a lower ISO than the film I was using so they came out really overexposed. I played around with em on photoshop this morning and tried to fix the colours.
I tagged along with Will and Bec while they were filming a video clip for one of her songs. We went to the stunning Botany Bay national park. We set up on the cliffs overlooking the ocean and braved the chilly winds and the rain. The overcast weather made for ideal lighting for photos but I was an idiot and didn't listen to Will and the little voice in my head telling me to get some regular film. The only film I brought with me was expired film, one roll from this batch ruined Will's photos earlier on in the year and I should've known not to use em. The photos came back so grainy and very blue (which I had to fix using the very basic photoshop skills I have). I was able to salvage a few of em which I'm pretty happy about! Such a shame because it was such a beautiful location and great conditions for some beautiful photos.
These photos I've gotten back from the roll I shot last weekend, which was really lovely! The photos from this roll are far from perfect. The focus is all over the place, they're either way too overexposed or underexposed and because I was shooting in really low light many of 'em are very blurry. But even after all the mistakes I've made with this roll, I still really really like a lot of the photos. It was also the first time I've used a flash on my Canon AE-1 and that is also another reason why these turned out so "weird". I also brought along one of my old lomo cameras, but I still have a couple more exposures on that roll. Fingers crossed those turn out well!
These birds were flying around Will's backyard and they were beautiful and the butterfly was flying around when Juanita and I reached the top of the little mountain/bike track? (still unsure what it was)
Took photos of Juanita towards the end of last month. Still trying to figure out how to direct people while taking photos, something that doesn't come naturally to me at all, but I think we got some really good shots! Giant thank you to Juanita for putting up with my indecisiveness and vague directions.
Rizelle turned 22 this week and I took some photos of her before celebrating and things got messy. I was really nervous about this roll of film because it was really really old and another roll from the same pack messed up Will's photos. Really happy with the results though! Happy 22nd birthday to Riz <3 <3 <3
