I thought I'd share this one of the Mrs from when we were on holiday, not because of anything outstanding about the composition (rainwater pipe coming out of her head) nor does she look her best (her words not mine! We'd just returned from a bike ride in 28 degree heat...) but because it is from the fourth roll of film that I've ever shot and up till now haven't had any results where the image quality feels really good, it's just been a bit of fun to play with alongside my digital stuff. This however was a very pleasant surprise when I looked at it after receiving the scans from filmdev yesterday. I think I nailed the focus which is one of the biggest challenges coming from using digital all the time and getting used to the little quirks of focusing using the microprism and lens combo.
I have many 'better' photos from my 6D from the holiday, but I made my first print from a film shot of this one yesterday evening at home, and there is something special about the fact that this came from a film camera! By no means would film replace digital for me personally, but it has absolutely found a place in my photography from now on.
Maybe this doesn't need it's own thread, but I'd like to thank Ken again for gifting this camera to me, and thanks to all you lot for your help with various things, most of which was indirectly found by me browsing this sub-forum.
Canon Ae-1 Program, 50mm f1.8 lens shot at f2.8 (from memory) on Agfa Vista 200 - with a slight reduction of orange in lightroom.
