The first self developed roll of 120 film ended up in quite a mess two days ago and luckily I told myself to not develop that other roll (these 2 were test rolls on the GF670 with Rollei Retro 400 film) that same day. One day later … I took a deep breath and gave it another go … this time telling myself to be a little patient and careful when rolling the film onto the plastic spool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It wasn’t any easier (rolling the film) this second attempt. I ended up spending 20 minutes (damn! the developing only took me 6 minutes!) to get the roll ready for developing! I was all tired and sweat by end of the whole process. It paid off when all of the 12 frames turned out fine. Phew!!!<\/p>\n

Most of these are just random test shots … to get myself familiar with focusing and handling the camera. I am pretty comfortable with the camera now and hopefully I’ll be able to find time to shoot some decent photos soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can see … there hardly is any moving subject in my test shots. Hahaha! My fuzzy eyeballs were trying to get used to using a rangefinder.<\/p>\n

This next photo was taken outside Thomson Plaza. No … it ain’t any interesting shot but I was boiling mad when the security guard approached me. I knew he was trying to stop me taking the shot but too bad for him I triggered the shutter already. I acted as if I didn’t see him and walked away. That’s not the end of the story. When I was in the mall waiting for wifey to collect some stuff, I whipped out my camera … there wasn’t anyone around … and in seconds I heard someone telling ‘excuse me sir … no photos in the mall.’. Huh? Damn! Another security guard? Now do they have some darn camera detecting device or what? Why are the security guys so darn paranoid? I would have ended up with 500 photos of the mall if I were to use my phone camera! Duh!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one (below) is a little out of focus. Lesson #2083290832 … do not take photos after too much beer!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I took this one (above) right before rain. Take a good look at the sky. Do you see some dark patches that look a little weird? I have a feeling those ain’t the clouds but some marks left by the film paper back. Ermm … is that correct? Or are those some flying saucers flying in formation?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you are wondering why are there only 11 photos (instead of 12) … that’s because it was the first time I was using the camera at the beach and the super silent shutter … made me accidentally trip it without knowing that I’ve done so. Then I thought I forgot to advance the film … and ended up with 2 identical (or pretty similar) shots. Argh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
