Film Photography Post: Half Frame Photography

Pedestrian Crossing Stop light. Solid Gold ISO 200 Film, Canon Demi Before restarting my film photography life, the only film formats I'd ever been exposed to was 35mm and 110 film. I'd owned a small 110 instamatic, used my parent's Canon AE-1P, and had, once upon a time, owned an EOS camera (the model of which I can't recall, and a body I can no longer find). My current place of work also has some medium format cameras on hand that I'd love to try out, not to mention some instant film cameras. The thought of using some of the former excites me, Megamall Arcade I'd only discovered half frame cameras during my first month at Lomography as well.

Updates For those who don't yet know, I've left the glamorous life of studio portrait photography for a job at a company that revels in analogue photography.

The following is an example: Sunset from Dive n Trek shot with the La Sardina If you want to see more from that set, please visit my lomo home . Commitment to Creation In my other blog, blogging bulatao , I committed to a blog entry everyday via any and all of my current blogger blogs. As far as future projects for Photobu go, I'm planning to do a rainbow unending panoramic with the Lomo LC-Wide (click the link if you want to learn more about the camera) by using the half frame sprocket without the mask. When it's ready, you'll see it on here.
