film + natural light

My friends, I have fallen in love.

With film.

There, I said it.

So excited to share these first few film shots with you.  I have to admit that I’m learning, and that’s the beauty of it.  My first roll of film came out completely blank.  Imagine my surprise when I opened my package and a blank roll of film fell into into my hands.  Ha!  Turns out I hadn’t loaded the film correctly.

I tried again.  I still have a number of things to learn, but I love the grain and how this camera captures natural light.  With film, I feel like I captured the essence of this room.  I love that.  No post processing, just the photo – pure and simple.  A great way to start this new year.

More soon.

    I love these! So simple and quiet. They seem to hearken back to a much slower and quieter time. And there really is nothing like good old film, is there? Happy New Year to you and your family! Blessings to those precious girls!ReplyCancel

    stunning shots. I love film, too. I am inspired by your shots to get out my scanner tomorrow and finish scanning 6 rolls of film from summer vacation. That should take about…all day!ReplyCancel

    […]  My entire journey into film photography has been documented in this space.   When I look my first post with film,  I still get excited.  I remember how my first roll came out completely blank, and I used that […]ReplyCancel
