  My first roll of 35mm film...     Canon EOS 30          EF 50mm f/1.8          Ilford HP5 This blog post is slightly overdue (Sorry David), but a couple of weeks ago I was able to develop my first ever roll of 35mm film... or first ever roll of film at that. I would consider myself an "intermediate" photographer in the DSLR world, however, prior to this class I did not know the first thing about analog photography. Already in the little time I've spent shooting 35mm film, I have really gained an appreciation for it and have come to really enjoy it - both shooting the film and the development process. I can already tell that this is something I would like to continue as a hobby beyond this class. Above is a contact print of my first roll of film. I did not go for any sort of theme with this roll as this was really just a test - A test to make sure I did not get ripped off on this camera I bought from Faceb...

    I. Self-Portrait: This exposure took 1.5 minutes in the classroom. I sat on the left stool for the first 45 seconds and then moved over to the right stool for the remaining 45 seconds so that I would register on the photo paper in two different places.  ~Taken with Octagon/Tin camera      II. Where My Eyes Cannot Go / Extreme Depth-of-Field This exposure took 12 seconds and was taken from inside of a bush - Where my eyes cannot go. I think the negative of this image looks better than the positive. ~Taken with Cylinder/Tin camera      III. Duration This exposure is my favourite of all that I took. It took 45 minutes, during which this was an open hallway with people walking through, however, none of them remained in the same spot long enough to register onto the photo paper.

 Using my Canon 7D DSLR as a prop, this diptych connects the photographer (me) with the photograph being taken. Despite giving the illusion that this was shot on my 7D, both photos were actually taken with my iPhone 11. I added heavy vignetting to the second photo to resemble looking through a camera's viewfinder.
