Digital still can't do THIS!!

Get you all excited about what in the hell is on a roll of film that has been sitting in your Mamiya since the summer

Since Summer??? What are you waiting for? Do you even remember what's on it?...LOL

[photophorous]

No kidding. Even I'm excited. Now go get that film developed and show us what you find. :thumbsup:

You are such a tease!
Process those things and show us the goods!

So, it had actually been sitting in there since the fall. Here are some frames that I just scanned from the first roll:

Shot in October:



Shot in December:



Shot this month:



The mystery is revealed!

Very cool! I "lost" a roll in a bag I don't normally carry, but found it a few months later when I went to use it again. It was excited to see what was on that roll, and there were a couple cool shots if I remember right.

Another thing is the end of the roll. You have three shots left on the roll, so you just shoot something. And once in awhile, one of those shots is the best one on the roll...

Well, it's good to finally know. Cool stuff. I think my favorite is the second one. Very good use of the fence in the foreground.

Great shots. Gonna have to go with the sunset for my fav. I love Velvia sunsets.

LOL... yep. Never fails that you go on an outing and spend tons of time setting up trying to catch the perfect shot, you start hiking back to your car with a couple shots left on the roll and you just snap at the first couple things that catch your eye. Those end up coming out better than the shots you put your full effort into earlier

I think there's some kind of "Zen of Photography" lesson in this, but I can't quite make it out.

Re: Digital still can't do THIS!!

I don't understand???? If these are not digital how did they show up on my computer, LOL Jeff

[walterick]

That's the cool thing about my FM2. I get about 39 shots on a roll and my old auto-everything camera only got 36!

Some fantastic shots! I love the third shot, I guess it has that velvet type look to it. I guess thats why they called it velvia ;)
