Final Shoot - Comparison 120

In this shoot I used the old 120 fold out camera, which I used in the first 120 shoot I did. Still looking at Vivian Maiers work with using 120 film and Richard Long, who took walks to make his art, I still wanted a final shoot go to get pictures for my final piece. I Decided to reshoot shoot 2. This would give an another comparison shoot to work with for my final piece.
In the end this shoot didn't go as planned. A lot of the pictures are out of focus. In the contact sheet it doesn't look that bad, but when trying to print my work it all comes out as blurry images or the part that I thought would be in focus wasn't but another is. This is due to the camera I decided to use only had a view finder and no way to visually see the focus, which I accepted that would be a struggle, but I thought I would be far better at using the camera than this. I think that the landscape picture will be in focus as it was set to infinite which is what is needed when shooting landscapes. All the others are slightly out which doesn't make for a good photo.
I learned a lot from this shoot, as so far all my shots have worked and came out fine, this has been the first shoot that I have had problems with, and has shown me the reliability of film isn't always as reliable as I have experienced so far. I have learned that using some cameras take skill and practice, such as one with manual focus where you have to guess the range.
The best edit for the shoot is the hand rail, as it has a very soft looking focus, much like when using a lens baby. It is focused about a meter in front, and no where else. It has a very white sky, and the blacks are black, which shows it was a good print, but even the dark room cant fix focus like it is as forgiving with exposure.

I also had another film camera with me at the time, although only had 6 pictures left on the roll of film, so I did shoot some pictures with the Nikon EM which was the one I used in the second shoot. These pictures came out better, with pictures that have a high contrast between the back and white. They are pictures that I could use in the final piece.
Next I will be gathering all the good comparison pictures to create my final piece, so I have 8 pictures, 4 digital and 4 film and I will print the film myself.

 this has been taken through a fence  It was very strange how on the film I managed to get a large depth of field where as on the digital It only caught the background and made the fence out of focus, even though on both cameras I used a 50mm lens.

This is the best edit of the 120 section of the film. I like the soft focus, which makes it looks very subtle. The focus on both are about the same, but at slightly different angles.

This was taken with a 50mm lens, from underneath the tree. I was trying to capture the rope and cloth hanging from the tree as it looked very interesting. although to the focal length of the digital camera it cropped the picture. which produced an interesting view on the different cameras.
