Life in Film

Film cameras are the best things ever. Fact.

Well, that's just my own opinion, but they're pretty cool anyway. The satisfaction of waiting a while then getting film developed is one of the nicest feelings. You have no idea what your pictures look like or sometimes you forget what photos are even on there.

If you're a bit of a photography geek then you'll know exactly what I mean. Even if you aren't a huge photography nerd I'm sure you'll agree that film is better quality than digital. The crispness of the camera and the effect is just amazing.

I don't really use technical and complicated film cameras often. I prefer simple ones which I can carry but can still be used to get good shots. My faithful Konica Z-up 80 e is my personal favourite. It's simple to use, it's quick and easy to change the film, it winds the film back for you and it has lots of settings.

The only set back to film cameras is the cost of getting the film developed... Two rolls of film set me back £15 yesterday at Mac Spielmann; yeeeeeeeesh, a definite strain on the bank account. Although it was definitely worth it!

Looking back on photos I took over the past 3 months was so much fun. Found many gems. Here's some of them.


Christmas in the Peace Gardens - no idea why it was Doctor Who themed...

Birthday burgers at The Harley - This was called 'The Moist Maker 2' and was a burger of chicken breast with 2 hash browns, a Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and gravy on it! Amazing

Tackling 'The Moist Maker' - it was very messy!

Sarah tackling it - she ended up taking it to pieces 



Finally finished!


Old lady me on my birthday night out


Old lady Krishna


Later on in the night - completely gave up on the old lady theme

My housemate made me a belated birthday cake - it's Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time!

Beautiful houses in Lincoln

Filming on Skegness beach at 8am - it was freeeeezing

A busker in Lincoln centre





Apologies for the little weird white & blue circle on each photo. No idea why they all came out like that... 

Have you used film cameras before? Do you prefer them to digital?
