My brother had a surprise 27th birthday on Friday night and people got very drunk. A mutual friend of ours is a graphic design teacher. He is really into buying old cameras at the moment (ones that took film) and taking pics and seeing how they come out when they develop! At any kind of family/ friends social occasion everyone has cameras and mobile phone cameras and then tagged pics you regret then go on Facebook. But this friend brought a bag of second hand old cameras with him! They were from all ages and had all different lenses.
The experience was pretty interesting. This camera had a knob on each end to wind the film forwards or back and the shutter could be released for how long you want to expose the film. He is all into experimentation, like different amounts of winding after each one and different amounts of shutter release. I am convinced all the frames will come out white squares when developed :)
The weirdest thing was that I found it really difficult taking a photo and not seeing it instantly on a screen to decide to delete or not! For most of my life digital cameras have not existed. But I found it so frustrating taking a pic and then waiting for it to be developed to see the result! It’s gonna be weeks! film and developing is so pricey now! let’s see what the results bring, interesting experience :)
