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.

Oldies ~ Ilford Pan 400








All of these photographs were taken with a pentax k1000 & Ilford Pan 400 film. The first photograph and the last photograph are actually from my first ever roll of 35mm film which I don't think are too awful considering. All of these were developed/processed by myself. I have just started 'scanning' my old negatives with my DSLR hence the flash backs. Hope you like them! (plenty more to come).

Ilford pan 400




This is one of my favourite black & white shoots so far , although I haven't spent much time using black and white film. After watching a documentry on the photographer Jane Brown yesterday I feel inspired to explore more of B&W.

I developed/processed the film myself and spent hours printing in the darkroom.

Mist

This is one of my film photo's from my third shoot using Orlando (Olympus OM-10) I don't think I actually uploaded it to my blog because at first I didn't really like it but after hearing that my boyfriend liked it I decided to upload it to some sites to see what other people thought too and it turns out quite a few people like it. So here it is.

 What do you think?

Earlier today I uploaded it to my instagram account ( @redcurlsandacamera ) and it was re - posted by an account that shares film photographers work and it got a fantastic response almost instantly! It's small things like this that make me so excited.

Vintage film with a twist




I had some of these photos printed today ready for my college photography exhibition that's coming up and they look great printed , very pleased with the results. For anyone wondering , there is no filter on any of these :)
