Introducing.. Le F3

I am now the proud owner of a Nikon F3!  Here’s a selection of some stuff I shot in January, starting with the New Year’s Parade in London.

Superia 200:

Brilliantly out of focus:

And again:

Focusing manually is surprisingly hard for me.  For some bizarre reason, with film I compose then focus instead of the other way around.  Pretty stupid really.  A lot of the roll was out of focus.

The difference between using film and digital is so apparent.  The above scan hasn’t been adjusted at all.  Compare that to this unedited digital shot, and you can see just how big the variation in colour and quality is:

Onto some Jessops 400 film (first time I have used this – not bad).  I went back to my favourite London tunnel.

Random shots at the London Aquarium:

Rarrr.

Random digital shot:

Real art?

Gaza/Israel protests continue to take place every few days.  It was too dark to capture much as I passed through another one in Trafalgar Square.

50mm f1.8 is great for portraits, and so much better full frame compared to 50mm on my digital (350D) I should really use it more for portraiture.

Back in the tunnel.

I missed film! Digital is so passé.
