Interesting documentary film made by Kodak in 1958 about their film manufacturing.

I never thought about shooting a video, especially on a DSLR. But suddenly one day I had this strange idea to make a zombie movie on a DSLR, don’t know how it came to me but I liked it, so I told the idea to my friend and he didn’t think long and told me -”what the hell, lets do this !”. So we wrote the script, chose the actors and went shooting. It took us 3 hours of shooting, 1500 photos, 6-7 hours of montage and the film was created.

So behold !

Sanatorium

Last week we went to visit my wife’s relatives, they live in the country, so I decided to take some pictures of a rural view, nothing special I say, but in the other side you won’t see that kind of landscape every day living in the city.

I had 2 cameras with me, my Nikon D80 and a holga. I am not actually satisfied with the shots I got with my holga, don’t know what went wrong this time, I used ILFORD Delta 400, but photos came out blurry, light and some of them had light leeks (that pissed me of a lot), I hate light leeks especially on B&W film.

Last week I finally received my Holga 120N toy camera, loaded it with Ilford HP4 film ISO 400 film. Made 2 shots one day then it stood for about a week and then on weekends I went to Kemeri to visit the abandoned hotel, and I took the holga with me. Took some shots and after that I finished the film on the swamp road. Developed the film on the same day and scanned it. I really like the shots I made with Holga, they has there own look a little bit blurry on the edges, the strong vignette, classic. So let get the look on those pictures !

Some time ago my uncle gave me his old 35mm film camera “Smena Symbol” it’s a lomo camera from the 70s. (more…)

Today I decided to make a matchbox pinhole camera. Not so complicated, I used only an empty matchbox, a lot of black tape, empty film canister and an aluminum square I cut from a beer can with a pinhole. And that’s my pinhole camera.

The process
