Over the summer I had a few rolls of film to experiment, At this point in time I was documenting my summer, and doing artist research on the side, so my initial shots linked into Vivian Maier, Who in essence documented her life, which is what I was tying to do over the summer. She would take her camera where ever she went to document where she was. I was also just starting to use film, finding how to use the cameras and how to develop and print the pictures in the dark room.
In a lot of the shots it looks very washed out, this is due to the fact that a lot of the pictures were darker which means I had to expose the picture for longer when crating the contact sheet. I used an automatic cannon film camera for this shoot, which used 35mm film. I had no theme but to attempt to to document what I did in the summer. The locations was a mix of Ireland, the New Forest and Greenbelt Festival. ( I have only shown one contact sheet but I took 3 roles of 35mm film and 1 role of 120 film)
In a lot of the pictures taken with the 120 camera you had to guess and judge distances which was a struggle, so a few are out of focus, further more the 120 film camera had no lock to stop you from taking double exposures, which caused problem as on a few occasions I took double exposures so the picture was then over exposed.
I used a film with a 100 ISO which for the time wasn't the best, so a lot of my pictures have got camera shake or are under exposed.
