I took my film camera out to the Newport Folk Festival and ran a couple of rolls through it. I need to spend more time learning the ins and outs of the camera. Nothing a little time and patience won't fix.
When I use digital, I usually end up fiddling around with my various editing software to add grain, fading, light leaks and any number of things that give me what I want. Well, the good and in some cases bad about my film photography foray is I got all of that without the aid of software. It's one thing to take a nice crisp digital image and dirty it up. It's a completely different thing when you get no choice. If I didn't know the camera was capable shooting well, I would be concerned that it was a bad apple.

This is the kind of photo I wanted when I was toying around with my Holga, not so much with my slr. I love the photo though. |

Again I like the photo but would rather it be the result of my toy camera. |
