Shooting Film - Canon A-1 35mm Slr
Well I have been waiting to get my film from my Canon A-1 Film SLR camera developed. This camera was released in 1978 and my mom bought one and used it through my childhood. When I started becoming interested she gave me the camera. Some people ask Brian why do you like shooting film. I get greater satisfaction out of how my photos turn out with film vs digital. My main camera will still be my Canon 350d EOS DLSR however I still want to shoot film for scenery architecture and portraits. With film you have to know what you are doing to get your photo. I know because the majority of the photos that I took did not turnout the way I wanted them to do. When a photo turns out it I get a greater joy and satisfaction out of the photo.
This is why I am going to continue my photography adventures with my Canon A-1 and continue to take pictures. My next project is going to be black and white architecture pictures. I am going to search for some moderately inexpensive but good B& W film. From what I have been reading film B&W in most cases still has a better result with film. I originally was going to get my film developed and have prints done and then I was going to scan the 4×6 photos into my computer. However after reading I can just get the film processed negatives from target for $1 and I can add a target cd that has 1500×1000 jpegs on it for only $1.99. The target cd has a better resolution of photos than the $3.99 kodak cd. See some of the photos I took with the A-1 bellow.
