This year’s highlight gift for me was a new Diana Mini camera.
Functioning as a “Retro” camera, this 35mm film camera takes half frame photos and square format pictures. It is a plastic camera. I’m still learning how it all works—which is a challenge. It should be, but with today’s all automatic cameras going back old school takes an adjustment.
The photo above was take with ISO100 Color Negative print film (35mm). It was taken at an f-stop of f-8. In this day and age of quick photos—and quick edits, we don’t get the raw images you do with film. You also don’t get the experience that comes with shooting film.
I enjoy shooting digital. But, I still have a love for film—the entire process is an experience and not just a “click.”
