Roll 7 ~ elderly-esque ?

                            Orlando Roll 7

Camera: Olympus OM-10

Film: Agfa Vista Plus

Bottom two have been converted to B&W

Sorry it's been such a long time since doing a post , It took me a while to get my latest film developed, I got the results back today and despite the fact ASDA suck at scanning photos and just anything photo related at all , I'm pretty chuffed with the results. However I have noticed there seems to be an issue with my camera's shutter which is slightly forgiveable considering it's age. It's also a pretty good excuse to invest in a different 35mm. Thinking about getting the Olympus OM2N so if anyone reading has any experience with that particular camera let me know what it's like.

Anyway...

Anyone that knows me , knows I adore photographing old people and capturing their stories , this latest roll was me doing that but in a slightly different more personal way I guess. I have my own style of photography which I'm quite proud of because it can be a hard thing to achieve. In my case , I love capturing light in different situations ...sunsets, light streaks , light leaks just about anything light related, I love it. I love photo's that tell stories , I love photo's that maybe look a little bit abstract or even just relatively simple (example : the 2nd photo ^ ) and I incorporated that into these 'elderly-esque' photographs. 

The current film I'm using in my camera is from 1988 so fingers crossed I'll get some good results shortly.

The one's that didn't quite cut it...but maybe...

 

I thought it might be interesting to sometimes show the photograph's that don't quite make it to my 'favourites' for whatever reason. All of these were from my latest shoot using Poundland film (Aga vista plus 200).

So , what's the issue?

1. I'm a little OCD when it comes to my photography (most of the time) and the little leaf is far too distracting for me , what do you think?

2. I didn't really like this , but it grew on me. I didn't really like it because it's not my 'usual' style of photography but hey I like it now.

3. This one's a little obvious, I didn't want the busker to see me taking the photograph and my shutter wasn't set high enough causing the complete motion blur , my first thought was 'what a failure' but guess what...surprisingly this ones grown on me too! in a different kind of arty way.

4. Over exposed , causing parts of the photo to be a little blown out and quite a soft focus too but the colours are pretty, right?

I think by talking about why I didn't like some of my photo's it gives you an idea of what my thought process is when I critique my own photographs.
