• u might notice that i've changed my banner
  well yea
  itz autumn now
  i know it looks a lil weird
  but very few ppl come here now so who cares
  XD
  and in case u miss my old banner...
  

  hohoho
  sorry for the lack of updates
  was a lil busy shooting autumn colors
  replies 1st:

  winnie leung:
  u shut up
  no one looks at YOUR photos
  :P

  kevin:
  thatz my dad's crab trap
  he made that tab thing so ppl wouldn't mix up / steal his crabs
  i haven't been fishing for a long itme

  these dayz:
  same old story
  looking for a job
  shooting autumn leaves
  uhhh...
  yea....

  
  shot my 1st roll of film
  came out pretty gd
  let picz do their work

  
  the black one is the nikon FM2
  the silver one is my mum's minolta SRT101b
  might test it out later to c if it works well

  
  results
  looks good!   :D
  below r a few comparison shots
  the top / left ones r digital
  bottom / rite ones r film
  plz note that the digital shots r very slightly wider
  while the film lens is able to focus closer
  another thing is
  color differences r sth i can't control too well
  they have diff WB settings
  the lab technician seem to have tweeked my film colors + exposures
  and my scanner isn't scanning the correct colors
  i did some slight editing to make them look more like the prints i have

  
  
  the digital version is more uellowish due to diff WB settings
  me like the film shot

  
  
  film seem to give nicer colors

  
  digital version has a blown out sky
  film looks fine

  
  digital looks "golden" but rather boring (too yellowish)
  film looks more colorful

  
  digital again seem to look too yellowish
  but then it might have been my settings

  
  since it doesn't make too much sense to compare shots that have diff settings
  i'll just post a few shots by film

  
  stupid vvn
  :P

  
  tree
  :D

  
  ...
  and this is how i shot film
  ...
  not being too familar with FM2's centre weight metering
  i've decided to use my trusted D80 + its LCD as my light meter
  might be a lil bulky + weird
  but results r great
  XD

  if u think film shots seem to be less sharp
  itz probably my scanner
  they look great in prints

  me like film! :D
  handling a FM2 feels very gd
  film picz have a diff shot
  like u could tell itz made on film as soon as u c it
  hmmm i dunno
  might need to get used to the metering system of my FM2
  so that i dun have to carry 2 cameras around
  XD

  the viewfinder is funny
  i'm used to my d80's smaller, DX sized finder
  so when i was using my FM2
  it looks too big... o.O
  i had to literally look around in order to frame my picz

  propz plz!
  :D
