[Smena 8M] Happy Accidents

Having the Smena is a wonderful thing. I’ve had it for a year now, and I’ve only started warming up to it, and actually using it the “proper” way. But in my natural absent-mindedness, there are things that I do forget despite muscle memory and force of habit. Fortunately, not all accidents are ugly. Here are two of my lucky shots from the last roll of film:

This was how Digiprint scanned our photos. :( that’s why we had to crop the photos using photoshop :p These two photos were taken by Jessie in Cloud Nine, Antipolo using expired Kodak Elitechrome on the Black Bird, Fly. Above is the courtyard and below is the view from the hotel. (January 2009)

Happy New Year everyone! We’ve got a feeling that this year is gonna be a great year – we’re hoping for all the best for us, for you guys, and for everyone else who’s out there.

I’m thinking of putting watermarks on our photos since it looks like people are trying to steal find the hi-res copies of our photos from wordpress. tsk tsk.

But anyhoo, some GOOD NEWS:
Jan received a Blackbird, Fly from his family and that oughta spice things up a little. Possibly new photos next week courtesy of our new toy.

Exhaustion

I brought home 2 bags (LITERALLY x.x) of papers to check and 12 problems to solve, all due by next week.

[smena 8m] Ilocos Experiment

As it turns out, I still haven’t gotten the hang of using the Smena 8M, since there are so many things to consider. But from the first two rolls of our Ilocos Adventure, I did get a few lucky shots – there’s a third roll still inside the camera right now that’s in Black and White. I really don’t think so much before shooting, so maybe that’s another thing.
