Before the last LBC post I had taken a bit of a break from blogging, so actually it's time to say: "Long time no see!"
I've reworked the design of my blog a bit in the hope to make it easier and more comfortable to read - hopefully I've achieved that; I'm quite content with it so far.
Finally I'm managing to finish this! ...how do people say? "Better late than never." :P
On the second day of the GLTP HamburgDani and I got ready and took off directly to the city hall after taking some pictures.
But there's some good news: I've got a scanner again ! (YAY :D)
My brother was so sweet to give me one as a present for my birthday !!!
So beware, I'm able to picspam this blog to my liking again !!! >:D
Just after I got my new dear scanner, I ran out and about to get some of my films developed.
Therefore on today's menu there is a fisheye in colour.
Enjoy ! ;)
As I look through those pictures I've come to realize that it took me almost 5 months to finish shooting this film.
It's just true that if you have a lot of sunlight your pictures turn out absolutely magnificent.
And I have the habit of wanting to shoot on special occasions, so sometimes I have to wait forever if the weather is behaving inconvenient and there are no occasions coming up haha ;)
But I'm glad to have captured so many great moments with my friends that I enjoyed.
And there are even 2 birthdays caught on film, super cool !
And of course - how could it be otherwise - lots of pictures of food and drinks :)
What kind of equipment did I use ?
Camera: Lomography's Fisheye No. 1, Hello Kitty Special Edition.
Film: 35 mm, dm's Paradies Universalfilm, ISO 200.
...
I've got two more developed sets of photographs that are stored in my drawer, waiting to be scanned - as always I'll be honestly sharing my glory and failure in analogue photography
- so stay tuned ! :)
...
Now before I leave again, I have to serve a little bit of dessert:
I've been longing to show off my most recent pictures !
So today when I woke up I had a little genius moment:
My mum is on holidays & she has a scanner in her home >:D ...
After work I snuck into her appartment and now tadaaah I've scanned some pics heheh ;)
Time for a little bit of Impossibility !
'The Impossible Project' is the company who have tried & still are trying to create a follower of the Polaroidfilm we all were used to for ages.
But careful ! Although the pictures look like Polaroid pictures, they process in a totally different way. They are very light sensitive (no more watching them develop!) and they take forever to develop fully (30 - 40 minutes).
The components are difficult to produce, therefore one film, which contains 8 pictures, costs 20€. Yes, a hell of expensive.
Still, polaroids have a special place in my heart, they remind me of my childhood. I've always wanted to have my own polaroid camera - and here I am :)
...
If you're interest in the project, I recommend watching this video:
What kind of equipment did I use ?
Camera: Polaroid's 600 (a newer edition it seems)
I was lucky and got this camera for 25€ from ebay ! It's in absolutely perfect condition, it hadn't really been used before I got it.
Film: The Impossible Project PX 680 Cool Color Shade
...
I'm looking forward to taking more picture with this camera ! I love the pictures, even if they're too dark/ light sometimes.
As you can see I like to give every picture a title :) That's because each and every one of them is special.
