I’ve heard somewhere that if you shoot a roll of 24 or 36 exposures and from that 1 or 2 come out decent, then you should be happy already. Well, here’s the one shot that had me smiling on the way home from Megamall when I had my roll of Kodak Ultramax 400 developed at Fujifilm. In fact, as my token souvenir from my Caramoan trip, I had this shot printed 8″ x 12″ and is now taped to my photo wall.

While waiting for our jeep in Caramoan, there were three girls playing near us and this cute one caught my attention. She had these beautiful eyes and her hair leaked of sunlight.

I’m off to Zambales later for a day trip! Gotta charge my batteries!

I learned digital photography before film and I wished it was the other way around. Still, it’s not too late to start learning a different craft, is it?

There were 47 of us in this trip and only two of us had film cameras, I had a Canon EOS SLR while Tin brought lomos. Most of the time, the others were puzzled why in this age of sophisticated digital technology, some people still shoot with no-frills film. One even commented, “Mukhang mas ginagamit mo yang film ah.” (Looks like you’re using the film cam more.)

I think film has a more organic feel to it, and the images are just warmer, especially on print. I’m a complete noob on film photography so for this trip I just used the all-around Kodak Ultramax 400.

What I like about film is that highlights are not easily blown. But I think this Kodak’s blues aren’t that sweet for landscapes. Or maybe it’s my cheap-ass CPL.

Their goggles are made with indigenous materials. Woot for Pinoy ingenuity!

While having these processed at Fuji in Megamall, I scanned the available films and got myself a Velvia 50 and a generic Superia 400. They say Fuji films produce better skin tones and the Velvia has wonderful colors.

I also saw Provia. What’s up with that?
