It has been quite some worrying hours since the night shoot with Jim & Noreen on Saturday night (you can read about it here)<\/a> as I was really hoping to see some of my own first photos with the LC-W. I quickly fired away the remaining frames yesterday and made a dash to the lab during lunch today.<\/p>\n

The moment the guy at the lab handed me the film strips … I asked him ‘gone case?’ and he replied ‘not really … got things!’. Miracle happened! Well … at least there are visible things on the film strips and that alone is something I thought will never happen (in most of the frames).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of my favourite shot (above). Too bad the darn battery in my flash died after a few shots and I couldn’t play with such lighting anymore afterwards.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why was I so worried? During the entire shoot … I didn’t know what were the correct (or almost correct) exposures to used. I was told that the aperture is fixed at f4.5 … I covered the light meter ‘hole’ … was shooting in ‘bulb mode’ … and I was to darn lazy to try meter with a digital camera. \ud83d\ude00 Okay … blame my lazy fat bum!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jimmy was laughing at me … thinking I was nuts when I was swaying my camera side to side. \ud83d\ude00 I was actually trying to add ‘effect’ to this shot above. \ud83d\ude1b<\/em><\/p>\n

I asked Jimmy if he knew how long should I expose the shots and he laughed and replied ‘You asking me? I don’t know too!’. Taking some hints from his exposure times (that I didn’t know if were okay but at least I know he does his homework … thanks Jim!), I added some tens of seconds to mine because I was using a roll of ISO100 slides (and he was using ISO400 black & white film).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jimmy thought I was taking a free kick (as in a soccer game) and was carefully covering his ermm … roll of 120 film with his hands. \ud83d\ude1b<\/em><\/p>\n

There were times when I forgot to advance the film and happily (aka stupidly) took the next shot but I think since the shutter doesn’t open … the next shot was just a waste of time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That’s what I call a miracle! Some of the photos actually turn out okay! Since I burned only 18 frames during the night shoot outing … I finished the rest the next day … randomly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I took some of the shots like these 2 above at the Asian Civilisation Museum and I guess all the hardwork of carrying Fitzand pays off … as my hands were pretty steady and was able to shoot at ISO100 in super low light. Hahaha!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course like most of my test shots … Fitzand gets to model for me!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This last one (above) is my favourite of the lot. What Fitzand will call ‘spooky’ … this was shot in the museum as well … handheld. \ud83d\ude00<\/em><\/p>\n

I still can’t believe this roll made it out alive. Phew!<\/p>\n

So what do I think of this LC-W? Hmm … I find the build a little plasticky … I hate the ISO changing wheel which is now harder to reach with my fat fingers due to the new raised front thingie … but it is hell wide!!!<\/p>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder
