My photography blog

I've set up a new blog where I'll post my film's pictures collection. Everything is taken using analogue camera and various type of film like negative, slide and black and white. Feel free to view my amateur pictures. 

Here the link to Bellisima Analogue.

Black and white #1

Phew I know it took me like forever to finally develop my first black and white rolls of film.
But, the internet connection is killing me.
So I only managed to upload the first two pictures.

Seni Multiexposure 2

Cuci mata ok.
Aku tembak guna kamera Holga K200NM
Pelurunya pulak filem Fujichrome Sensia 200

Enjoy :)

Jalan atas jalan

Mimpi dalam mimpi

Jiwa-jiwa hijau

Sentuh, Dengar, Lihat & Senyum

Lena dalam lena

Seni multiexposure

Mendedahkan pelbagai imej dalam satu frame yang sama macam gambar kat bawah ni bagi aku perlukan kreativiti dan pemikiran bebas.
Apa maksudnya tu?
Kalau ikut pale otak aku ni,
Bila kau dah guna apa-apa saja kamera lomo,
Tak usah fikir lagi-lagi untuk orang baru (macam aku ni lah)
Bila hati kata":ambil gambar subjek tu!" 
Apa tunggu lagi?

Halakan kamera dan 'klik' saja.

Cuma bila dah boring main klik tanpa fikir,
Korang bolehlah asah bakat atau bagi tajam sikit otak korang tu
Sebab kena fikir #1 Apa yang kau nak dalam satu frame
#2 Tengok warna apa yang terlibat takut nanti ada yang 'makan warna '
Makan warna maksudnya subjek yang diingini tenggelam dekat belakang sebab warna lain (contohnya putih) dah makan warna tu.
#3 JIMAT!! Ingat filem murah ke? So sebelum 'tembak' fikir la dulu ye.

Untuk dapat imej macam gambar di atas ni,
Mula-mula ambil dulu gambar bungan tu dengan rumput,
Kemudian, aktifkan butang multi-exposure,
Ambil pula gambar satu je bunga,
tapi secara dekat.
Disebabkan kamera Holga K200nm ni berkous tetap so, gambar bunga sekuntum tu tak berapa jelas.
Jangan lupa halakan kamera ke atas supaya nampak langit/awan.
Motifnya sekarang kita nak langit/awan yang cerah tu makan gambar rumput.

Marilah bersama-sama membangunkan industri perfileman eh kamera filem Malaysia! :)

Clouds on film

Fuji xtra 400

Look twice...or maybe thrice

First experiment. Beware everybody because my first lomo batch is packed full with flaws.

All image are captured using Holga k200nm, loaded with Fujifilm x-tra 400. It's a free focus camera so, I don't really expect much from her.

Filem apa yang sesuai?

Selama ni aku selalu pening kepala nak pilih beli filem apa. Kadang-kadang aku cuma beli berdasarkan harga je, kalau murah terus angkut 2-3 kotak. Setakat ni baru cuba filem Centuria 200, Lucky 100, Fomapan 100 dan Fujifilm 400. Malangnya tak boleh nak komen lebih-lebih sebab banyak filem yang belum develop lagi. Susah kot nak cari kedai yang boleh proses filem hitam putih dan proses silang. 

Tapi tadi secara tak sengaja terjumpa artikel ni untk dijadikan panduan peminat kamera filem sedunia ;] Jangan pening lagi ok mari baca....

"Which film speed is best?" depends on what you want to shoot, and how you want to shoot it. The short answer is not the best, but the short answer is: 100 speed for stuff outdoors in the sunshine. 400 speed for indoors, or outdoors on cloudy days and action subjects. 200 speed if you can't make up your mind between 100 and 400. This is about the limit of what you can buy at the grocery store. But this is pretty limiting. Did you know you can get film as slow as 6 and as fast as 6400? Did you know that you can take pictures at night with slow film?...without a flash? Now for the long answer. Read through the whole list, and let's see if we can't open up whole new worlds of possibilities in your pictures. 50 speed and lower is great for pictures you want to enlarge to sizes like 16x20. I think every photographer should have at least one picture they have shot blown up big. Its a life-changing, wonderful experience. You will either need to shoot outdoors in sunshine, or use a flash, but its pretty cool. At the same time its unnecessary if you don't want big enlargements. 64 to 100 speed generally speaking has richer, smoother color, more detail and, all things being equal, looks "better" than the same image shot on faster film. You can use this outside in sunshine without any extra effort. It works great indoors or for night time stuff, but you will need a flash, or a tripod. 200 speed is either useless or perfect, depending on the photographer. Some feel it is too slow to use indoors or for nighttime stuff and yet not as good as slower film in daylight. Others feel it is the perfect compromise. But are compromised pictures what you want? 400 speed can be used in daylight just fine in most cases, but some lower end cameras will overexpose daylight shots with these films. It works well in lower light stuff such as indoors, or cloudy days without needing a flash or tripod. But of course if the light gets too low, you still need flash or tripod. Ten years ago 400 speed film was only good for 4x6 prints. It used to be too grainy for anything larger, but these days film is much improved over what it used to be. Most people are very satisfied with 8x10's from 400 speed film. 800 speed is good for low light and indoors where you can't use a flash or tripod, like indoor sporting events such as basketball or events on a stage, but the color isn't great(more on this another column). Its too fast for some cameras to use in daylight, and it doesn't tend to blow up well. 1000 speed is like 800 speed only more so. Great for indoor sporting events and stage shows. Also for weddings where a flash is disruptive. Generally too slow for outdoor nightime stadium events like football games. 1600 speed is good for serious low light stuff like nightime football games. Makes some pretty horrible blow ups. Color can be awful. 3200 speed is as fast as you can get over the counter. Not a pretty picture in terms of grain and detail. Some people like it for the artistic effect of it's harsh grain. Try a roll and see what you think. Don't even think about using this in sunshine. 6400 speed is specially processed black and white 3200 film. Used when nothing else matters but getting the picture. Will work in situations where other films won't record anything. Frequently used in surveilance situations. Variable speed films, like Kodak MAX films. The first issue of these films were horrible. Nobody liked it. But the MAX films have been revised and I personally haven't shot any of the second edition stuff, but it is supposed to be much better. So what the heck, experiment a little. Buy a roll and see what you think.  Artikel ini disalin dari caseycolor.com

A moment with black & white

I'm now working on with black and white film and I have used 19 frames so far on two outing for photo hunting. Since I suck when it comes to human portrait, I choose the theme for still life. To top that I actually have no idea what aperture is most likely suitable with all those kinds of light around me.

Well, we'll see what happen. Kinda nervous since this is my first time shooting with b&w film and honestly I don't expect high, well it's only 100ASA film how high do you expect?

Second roll

 So, as promise here are some pictures from my second roll. Pretty ugly I know, most of them were either over exposure or under exposure. It's a learning curve so I'm open for any critics and comments. Enjoy yaww~
