Well, I think I’ve just blamed the camera too much. Today I went out with my mom, dad and hannah and I shot a whole roll of 120 film in about 5-10 minutes. Shall post that up when that’s done. It was interesting to shoot medium format. Most of my shots were at 1/60s at f8. Don’t think there will be much nice round bokkeh but I do hope to catch sharp photos of my parents and hannah.
After I got done with the film and feeling weird composing photos in squares I used my G9 and got mostly rubbish. Until I went over to the dog swimming pool and set my camera to crop to 16:9 in-camera. Everything was very interesting from then on.. the way I composed photos, setting my camera to about -2ev consistently when in bright sunlight and -1ev when it got cloudy.. the photos came up surprisingly sharp, colorful and well.. nice. Didn’t notice the chromatic aberrations, fringing and other nonsense I usually notice.
So here are some of them I kinda like. Thought of doing something like a storyboard of movie stills but.. nah.. don’t have the time or energy.
