Once bitten twice shy. I remember very clearly the crazy rush to finish the roll of film for the first ’36 Frames’ challenge … because I was too busy and lazy to do it earlier. The roll turned out to be quite a disaster. This time … for the 2nd challenge … I decided to do it earlier but somehow haven’t figured out what to shoot. The same subject over 36 frames? Suddenly it all seemed so difficult. Hahaha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inspiration came one evening when Fitzand was munching his apple. Eureka! It is a little similar to my original plan to shoot a pint of beer but this apple-idea seemed easier. Why? I would usually finish a pint of beer in maybe 5 gulps … and if I were to need 36 exposures … this means I will have to down maybe 7 pints of beer before I can complete the roll!<\/p>\n

So I took an apple, placed it in my rice cooker (which is kinda dark grey inside) and using the Fisheye2 + ringflash … I finished the roll in maybe 5 minutes. It was hell trying to eat that apple that fast. Hahaha. Finally it was done and to the lab I went with that roll of Lomography XPRO slides (ISO200). It was pretty late that day and the lab told me to collect it the following day.<\/p>\n

Next morning I received a call. I almost fainted. The guy at the lab told me that roll got stuck in the machine and only 12\u00a0 shots survived. WTH! I needed 36 shots and only 12 came out? I thought of changing the challenge to ’12 Frames’ and giving an excuse that I am catering for people who shoot medium format … but I didn’t wanna cheat. Hahaha! All I could do was to take another apple, this time using a white bowl instead … and did another roll for the challenge. This time I used a roll fo expired Tungsten 160 film because I couldn’t find another other Lomography Xpro film in my fridge. The two rolls that came with my 25th Anniversary LC-A+ turned out to be Fujifilm 100 negatives. They came in boxes that looks similar to the Xpro film and I thought they were slides! Hahahaha!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It must have been a blessing in disguise. It must have been a screw-up turned miracle! This 2nd roll really made me go ‘WOW!’ when I scanned it. I love it! It must be my favourite roll so far since I ventured into film and Lomography stuffs! Some purists might puke after looking at them but I am oh so loving these. I’ll see what I can do and get them all printed together as a large print for my wall soon.<\/p>\n

The colors seem a little weird (I love it). I was so confused and wondered why there were no fancy colors on the photos because I used color filters on the ringflash. Hahaha. Guess cross-processing must have removed all of them but the slightly faded and vintage (?) colors seems to work better for me in the end.<\/p>\n

After these two rolls … and two apples … I might stay away from apples for a while. I didn’t wanna stand at the table for too long while shooting them, so I ate the apples at a very fast speed. Eeeks! Munch … shoot … munch … shoot. My mouth was full of apples most of the time and I was biting off more than I could chew. Hahaha. Glad I didn’t just choke and die.<\/p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder
