A nearly perfect roll of film.

At least for my standard.

I began my photography hobby shooting on film over two years ago.
It was expensive, it was hard, I was lacking the necessary skill to make anything good, but it was always the most pleasant shooting experience for me.
The manual feeling of the cameras, the fact every mistake I make is my own is what made it feel right.

The day I actually felt confident enough to shoot a project on film, I bought a good film camera with autofocus and paired it with my Nikkormat FT2.
I loaded the Nikkormat with a colour film for portraits and the Canon Eos 30 with black and white film for action and more casual scenes.

I shot a scooter meet, and needed the photos developed ASAP, so I went to finish the roll off within a week.

And so I captured different scenes, feels, colour pallets, and places all within a span of a week, meticulously for my standard composing each scene.

I couldn't be happier with the results

Here are the photos

I just saw a proof-of-concept video from this 3d-printed film camera that, combined with a Raspberry Pi Pico and an MFT lens shoots on standard 35mm still film, and my mind is blown. Of course, the standard still roll only holds a few seconds worth of footage, but it made me wonder how this model could be retooled to handle Super 8, 8mm, or 16mm film, even if it was at a low frame rate like 16 fps.
