FILM!

Two weekends ago I shot a few rolls of film at Chris and Jessica's wedding down in Long Beach. It was fun and stressful all at the same time. Fun: I have not shot film at a wedding since 2004 (yikes!) Stressful: My film camera for 35mm is a Nikon F5. I now shoot all Canon. If anyone has ever shot both at the same time, which I did that day, they can understand why it was a bit stressful. It was like working on a Mac and a PC simultaneously. Everything is reversed with each manufacturer. Canon lenses screw on clockwise and Nikon lenses counter clockwise. The buttons are all in just slightly different places to make it hard to switch back and forth. I will say the most frustrating thing was waiting for the film. As you may know from past posts, I pretty much cannot wait to get home from an event to see what I got. Even if it is well past midnight, I have to look through all the photos. I had to wait a week to get the three rolls of film back and I had to not think about it because it was driving me crazy with anticipation! The funny thing is, after getting the film back it looks so dated; like it was shot in the 70s. Digital has really come a long way. It definitely has a different look to it. Feel free to compare.
