Going with the digital craze now, everyone seems to have forgotten about film. Is film ever going to be obsolete? No, I dont think so.
Taken on with Fuji Superia 200 on an Nikon F80.
Not the greatest shot. These were taken when I started photography. Taken with Program mode.
Life was simple.
You don't have to tweak white balance/Compensation/ISO/Saturation/brightness/bla bla bla. Just load up the film, and you're off.
Taken with Kodak 400 (if I recalled correctly). Notice the Greenish tint.
Pointing into the sun. with no blown highlights. Can your digital do this? I dont think so.
And yet, exposure and colour was just spot on.
No blown highlights, no dust, no noise... those are the wonders of film. And, best of all, you will learn to compose your shots better before pressing the shutter.
Looking for truly hassle free photography... this is it! If you haven't tried, I would suggest you give it a shot. You'll love it.
Over the weekend I headed north to Langkawi. Here are the few shots I took while I was there.
Nissan March. Our ride for the days there. Awesome little car.
"Less is more"
Laman Padi (Paddy Museum)
I'm not really sure of this shot. It looks really crap.
"Palm Sunday"
Pulau Daya Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden)
Pulau Beras Basah
And no island getaway will be complete without sunset shots..
"The Pier".
No I lied.
Because the weather wasn't good, and I didn't want to wait for the sun to set at 8pm, I had to manipulate the White Balance and contrast to have a "Sunset" shot =P.
Black Sand Beach
Birds at the Bird Park.
Albino Squirrel.
Yoga duck.
Lazy Ass (pardon the pun). Its supposed to be Lazy Jack =P
