Fun With Film

I have an old Canon AE1 that I have owned since they first came out in 1976. It hasn’t worked in years but I recently had it repaired and put a roll of Ilford XP2 400 through it. Although I have shot film on other cameras recently this was different. I was reuniting with an old friend and it was an enjoyable trip down memory lane. Apart from the frame, which was added in Photoshop, this image of Finn Slough is straight out of camera. (I posted an almost identical view of the Slough some weeks ago. Sorry for the repetition)

Cool shot. I'm not so fond of the film strip edges on this one.

Oh wow. The tonal quality from the film is just magic. Love this.

[Mags]

Way to go! Love everything about it!

The clarity and light in the photo are really nice. I love the film sprocket frame you added.

There is just something cool about film!!

Amazing clarity

[Babs]

Fabulous editing. fav

Lovely capture and tonal range. Not so fond of the wide filmstrip though as it takes away too much of the beautiful scene ;-)

It's a great shot reminiscent of an earlier time both in the image and the use of film

I like the effect the frame gives.

Don't make excuses for your photos. It's your playground, your rules. ;)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

yeah that is great framing for this composition

I prefer film by a mile. Just can't really get hold of it now or get it processed by people who know what they are doing. Love this

I remember your first shot as I wondered what a slough was .I think i like this better especially the sprocket holes.Did you have this processed professionally and put on a disc

[Carrie Shepeard]

Very creative shot!

[Kathy]

Looks like the cannery in those old movies based on John Steinbeck books.

@delboy207 I had the roll of film processed and scanned. The scanned images are then available for me to download online. The film sprocket frame I added myself in Photoshop. Apparently that has mixed reviews.

Well done
