fig leaves

i developed my first film today, this is the first shot from the roll :)

[jackie edwards]

well done! I like the photo and it certainly does have a film look to it. looking forward to seeing others!

[Taffy]

Intriguing b&w emphasizing form. Exciting to know you're working with film!

[Jo Smith]

Film.. I did that years ago, Exciting

[Dianne]

Well done - looks great.

[Maggiemae]

That would have been so good - an achievement like this in this day and age!

[Domenico Dodaro]

Isn't it magic?

[Ethel]

Back to the future, Kali. It would be sad if the art of film disappeared forever. I hope you get some of the figs before the birds gobble them up.

[Jasper]

Enjoy rediscovering film!

[Barb]

So cool

[belinda]

I think you will have fun with film

[Brigette]

Exciting!
I used to love developing bw film. Do you then scan to digital

[Scott Houston]

Are you picking up the spanner baton?

I got banned from homebrewing, so odds of developing film probably low. I will watch with interest.

[Francoise]

All I can think is, "a fig would be really nice right about now."

[Sue Garrod]

Well done - :-)

[kali]

@brigette yes , and try to restrain my penchant for fiddling in post processing !

[kali]

@scotthouston have long admired Spanner's work and that of a few others that enjoy it, check out the film-lives tag

[kali]

@francoise i hope we get some sun to ripen them when the time comes

[kali]

@ethelperry i can share with the birds, but if a possum takes a fancy to them they eat them green!

[kali]

@domenicododaro @adayinmallacoota @jasperc film is going to be a blast, i got the bug!

[kali]

@jackies365 @taffy @josmith @barb_b @sweetsue53 thanks, its going to be fun i can tell already

[Dawn]

Well done

[Cathie]

Beautiful shapes and light.

[DKay]

Great job Kali! 😊

[Ingrid Budge]

Gorgeous Kali and well done !

[kali]

@ingrid2101 i haVE put a few more up on flickr, and will keep doing so in batches, will be pleased to get any comments from you there, there were a few very overexposed, but i was putting a lot of thought into it so most of the roll worked out well,

[Chris Davies]

Lovely! The textures really come out in this.

[kali]

@chris667 thankyou, i took a few of these , do you post process your film shots at all? i think sometimes they benefit from a levels adjustment for true black...these fig leaves did when i tried it.

[Chris Davies]

@kali66 I don't know much at all about the digital side of photography; it wasn't really a thing when I started, and then I had a big break. I have a lot to learn!

[kali]

@chris667 less is more probably, i am learning to go with the flow as regards how the film shots come out, in my digital work i tend to take too many shots and then agonise over the composition and sharpness etc. I enjoy the fact that with digital you have to weigh it all up before you press the shutter then i only have one or two shots to choose between!
