Anyway, the purpose of the whole thing is to encourage me to get out and shoot these bloody rolls of film as some of them have been sitting there unloved for many months and the same fate may await the others. Also, I think if I'm going to show each roll in it's entirety I'll maybe think a bit more about what I'm doing and start getting a higher proportion of good shots on each roll. The rules I'm setting myself for this are:
- No buying any more 35mm film until I finish these 20 (ha! didn't say anything about 120...).
- No hiding- every roll gets shown in it's entirety- crap pictures included
- No trying to get the same picture loads of times (otherwise each roll could be really fucking dull- tho I'll go back on this if something amazing happens like Godzilla emerging from the Baltic). There is a moment for each shot- if the shot doesn't work it doesn't work.
So, to introduce youz to the the 20 rolls of film:
- 15 rolls of expired Fujicolor X-tra 800 colour print film. I got these really cheap in January but I still don't know why I bought them- I don't really shoot C41 at all... One of these is in the camera- an Olympus 35 ED inherited from my Grandpa.
- 3 rolls of Ilford HP5+ black & white print film. This is the best film in the world. I'll have no trouble using this and it will provide a welcome break from all that C41
- 2 rolls of Agfa Scala black & white slide film. These were given to me by my friend David for my birthday a year ago- I've been too scared to shoot them.
Aye!
