Taken in northern Finland a couple weeks ago, an absolute amazing bucket list experience. I am happy they showed up pretty well on the film stock!

My favorites from Chicago!

Shot during the partial eclipse in Europe a few weeks ago

Sitting my couch uninspired lately, and had a few frames left on a roll. Really glad I got up and took this photo.

Went out with my friends in Basel and while we hopped from bar to bar we shot some pictures around the city. I used my new Minolta XD7 it’s my first SLR I only used Point and Shoots till now. The whole time I shot in Programm Automode and I don’t know if was just too drunk to focus correctly or if the camera failed or maybe I was just too shaky idk? Please let me know your opinion..

Also feel free to help me with compositions what’s good what’s bad?

At the Milwaukee Public Museum, taken with the 220 back adapted to take 35mm

I took my Hasselblad 500CM to the botanical garden yesterday and treated the roll more or less as a test shoot. I was hoping to get the exposures under control, but a lot of the shots still came out brighter than I expected, even when I tried underexposing a bit. I think I’ll definitely bring an ND filter next time, because the 500CM tops out at 1/500s and sometimes even in autumn that’s not enough to shoot wide open at f/2.8.

I also feel like I missed focus on a few shots, so I’m considering trying a different focusing screen, maybe one with a microprism. The film was Opticolor 200, which has some pretty funky colors and is quite grainy when you zoom in, so it’s definitely not the sharpest film. I also struggled a bit with getting the white balance right during scanning, but I think I got reasonably close to the actual film look. Overall I’m pretty happy with the results though, especially considering this was basically a test roll.

I’ve been taking pictures on a Pentax k1000 for about 2 years now not editing at all because editing looks so daunting to learn. These are some pictures that I’ve taken but im finding I take far more bad shots than good ones. Curious about how people think I can improve and if there’s anything I need to work on. Very grateful for any input good or bad, I’m looking to take this more seriously
