This was the main purpose for buying a film camera: portraits. This is a shot of Elise, our 13y old neighbor.
I do like the way shooting full manual slows me down. It forces me to constantly rethink my composition. While measuring the light, determining the shutter speed and focusing I tend to chat with the model and other people who happen to be around. In this shoot we were all very relaxed and had some fun.
I do like the very light feel of the camera too, which is great in portrait sessions, where I hold the camera high for long consecutive times.
Having said that, I *also* like the heft and the way my A700 completely fills my right hand. In any case, shooting film won't replace digital, but it's a great addition. Most importantly: I like the results--even though this film is just a bit too grainy for my taste.
An XA1 chinscrapper from our Easter get-away in Torquay :)
I've had a roll of film in the XA1 for nearly 2 years, I stopped using it once I noticed a small fly had died BETWEEN the lens elements..... bastard. Seems that even with that in place it doesn't cause too many problems.
from my first roll of film for about 13 years - Tassie swamp shot on Canon AE-1 Program - 50mm F1.8 lens I think
Film Fuji Superia 200 expired in 2006, camera Pentax Espio Mini.
The Pentax Espio Mini does not provide exposure correction capability, so the film was used at nominal speed.
