Tag Archives: Canon AE-1

So I was trying out Lomo 800 film. And I like the colours.

But wow. It is so incredibly grainy. It’s impossible to get even close to a proper black with that film. I mean I guess it could be considered “romantic” or something? But even if I did not want much in terms of saturation, I still want the colours to be slightly more even. Oh well.

I shot half of the film at “my” train station, and it kind of worked there – but I’m still a bit sad that I wasted a day with the best lightning ever on this film. Because “kind of worked” means that the saturation and colours are alright, but the graininess still sucks :P

But I do love the street lights at Jakominiplatz (above).

A few years ago my grandfather gave me his old Canon AE-1, but I didn’t really use it as I found the whole film-thing to be quite annoying.

But now that I have access to a dark room (which also means being able to get the pictures right after shooting if I want to) it got to come out and play.
