Photography - July 2009

I'm not so good at handling a DSLR, let alone a film SLR. But that's the only good camera I have with me right now. A Nikon film SLR which I got for photography class when I was in college. And a 400ASA Kodak film, which is so wrong for an amateur because it produced grainy prints if the settings are not right. But most of my shots are taken indoors with poor lighting so I wanted to try a film with higher film speed. (And then I gave up and just took shots under sunlight about 24 shots into the whole roll, so the last of my prints are slightly better than the first shots.)

AND my scanner was a mess so post processing was a whole lot harder to do.

Here are some of the photos I took this month.














And the Before-and-After of post-processing:









Phew. I'm thinking...not bad. I haven't touched my camera for nearly 7 years. And I don't have a DSLR to practice on. I just used point and shoot cameras so I wasn't really ready to be reunited with my SLR. But with a little practice, I know I'll get this right. :)
