But there is light at the end of my tunnel! After my birthday pasted I acquired two new cameras to work with. One is a Yashica electro 35 GSN--Depicted here :
And the other is a Holga 120N Medium Format Camera- Depicted Below:
After a few days I will have my test pictures up.
I find that both cameras are unique in their own ways, the Yashica camera is considered a Rangefinder(this is were you use a viewfinder to look at what you are taking and not the actual lens, unlike the SLRs) I got this lovely camera for helping out a fellow artist and photographing her art work, so that they may become digital. I found that it was quiet hard to take photos of paintings that were behind glass but as you'll see below I seemed to have no problem.
This is Gina's work. It was a pleasure helping her out and I look forward to future business!
After completing my task I deiced to ask Gina if she had any old camera lying around and low and behold she pulls out the Yashica. I found a proper battery for it on RadioShack.com. And hopefully tomorrow the pictures come out great.
As for the Holga 120n I got this little badboy from Kara for my b-day plus film. I've never shot in Medium format or have ever handled the film so, I was nervous about how to load, how to unload, how to handle the film. BUT.. It's a great experience. The only down fall is the film is a bit costly to get put on to cd.... I might get prints and just start scanning them into the computer instead. lol.
Alittle background about the Hogla... Cheap Plastic lens, cheap everything about it. But it's a camera that most professionals use. It has hundreds of different ways to be used and I hope to try all of them lol. Test Pictures will be posted later.
