Yashica Minister III Test Film





These are just four of the test shots from a roll of film that was full of great quality images. the rolls for my yashica minister III. out of the three cameras i bought i feel the results from this camera are probably the best however each of them have their own qualitys. i will be uploading more of the shots from this roll of film soon. so keep your eyes peeled.

Kodak Colorsnap 35 test film LOMO





As stated in the previous post due to the lack of a focusing view finder on the colorsnap 35 its mainly guess work so you often get shots like the above. however i think they have their own charecter and they where fun to take.

Kodak Coloursnap 35mm Test Films

Here you can see some of my kodak colorsnap 35 test shots, as you can see the images again are quite grainy and very basic. however this is no suprise considering how basic the colorsnap 35 is. there is no focusing viewfinder on the camera you simply look straight through a little hole and then have to guess the distance in feet and set the lens to your guess. this makes it hit and miss with focusing however it does make the camera a good little lomo camera. i will be posting some images from this test film which look quite lomo just to show how it could be used in that way. either way its a fun little camera to use and i will be taking lots more shots with it over the comming months and eventualy summer as it is easy to carry around with you.

Test Films

Today i got back three films which where test films for cameras i bought a good few months back now. i actualy have about 40 36 exposure films needing developed, however due to lack of funds at the moment i can only get a few done at a time. i was staying optomistic about the results on these films however i am fully chuffed with the results. they where test films for a voigtlander VITO CLR, a Kodak Colorsnap 35 and a Yashica Minister iii. al where good even though my voigtlander has a bit of a winding on problem. i couldnt believe the qulaity of the negs from the very basic coloursnap which only cost me 99 pence, and the yashica negs are of amazing quality. i may have found a new favourite camera. anyways, im not sure how meny people read this if any at all, but i will be posting examples most probably tomorrow and im also heading straight back to the kodak shop to hand in more films i cant wait like.

watch this space and thanks for reading

Phone Box Smoking

First of all you can’t fit that many people in a phone box, and even when you can they are more than likely to be people you know, so why can’t you couldn’t you smoke in a concealed box with people you know who originally complained to make them put no smoking signs in phone boxes? More to the point how many people use phone boxes these days?
