these photos were taken sometime last year w/ the point and shoot.

(post processed w/ lightroom and photoshop)

just posting some images i found while searching through my archives of photos

photos taken oct’06

shooting from the hips

these were taken october ‘06 in hong kong. was too lazy (i think) to raise my hand to take pictures. i guess its appropriate to “lomo-ize” the photos in photoshop.

there’s something about grass that calms me. i found these images i took w the A610 and post-processed using lightroom some time ago.

nikon FG test roll

just got my first roll of my nikon FG… it works!!! that’s japanese engineering for you.. even after 20yrs, it’s still doing what its supposed to do.  i just realized how lucky we are to have digital cameras.. film is kinda hard to get used to. no IS, primitive metering, ISO is pretty much limited to the kind of film your using and worse.. its damn expensive! film and processing will definitely cost me.

anyway cant wait to get film slides and b&w high ISO films for that yummy grain (noise to us digital users).

test shots:

i loaded the film wrong i guess, but the exposed area looks sweet to me. (u can see a part of the FG’s manual, in pdf, i was reading on my notebook screen)

then i tested if the metering works.. (why is my mouth open when pressing the shutter?! lol)

then i waited for daylight since i only got a cheap 12exp. ISO100 film for this test

this vivitar macro rocks! can get to a few inches from the subject
