week 50: little monsters

i really like my fed 3 camera. but do you know what i don’t like about the camera? that you don’t see what film is in it. i thought that i had some regular color negative film in it, so it wouldn’t be too bad if i mess up some pictures by playing around with the flash for the first time. but no! turns out it was one of my precious x-pro films. damn!

apparently it really is a bad idea to put film in the camera because you planned a shoot, but for whatever reason you don’t get round to actually do it, and then you leave the film in it for weeks/months and totally forget about it.

well, lesson learned.

nevertheless i got a few nice pictures.
here we have 3 little monsters, i made them ages ago and still don’t know what to do with them. at least they finally got photographed. and they do look quite cute. (is it offensive for a monster to be called “cute”? :D )

also, some pictures of a snowy landscape:

unfortunately the rest of the roll is unsuccessful flash shots. i didn’t realize that a flash on a fed 3 camera ONLY works properly with a shutter speed of 1/30. not with a shorter exposure time and not even with a longer one. or so the internet says. i certainly should have looked it up before, because now most of my pictures look something like this:

too bad, but well, second lesson learned.
i will try it again soon, but this time with the correct settings.
