I’ve previously shared with you the story of my first 3 rolls of home developed film and I thought I would do an update on how it’s going. This time I’m also giving you a look at the full roll of images and telling you a little bit more about them. I hope you enjoy it!
This is a bit different from the usual #fullrollfriday because I shot this roll of film, had no idea what to do with it, and ended up using it to make a video. Let’s start with that, then I’ll explain how it came about. (The video runs for four minutes)
No, it should have been 24 shots on Kodak Gold 200.
In my last #FullRollFriday post I mentioned that I went through a phase of acquiring various cameras to try. I wanted to share one of the more interesting rolls of film with you.
5 Frames/The Whole Roll. Sneaky, huh? By doing a 5 Frames and and a #fullrollfriday in the same post I get paid double the fee for half the work… Right? Actually I’m not sure if it’s 5 frames or 17 frames – there are 5 images but I’ve counted 17 actuations of the shutter.
I am sharing a whole roll of Ilford HP5. Is that not everyone’s first roll of film?
I really like the idea of sharing a whole roll. In fact on my learning log I regularly analyse a whole roll of 120 film to learn from the successes and the mistakes. When looking through previous contributors posts I was really drawn by Ed Worthington’s post, in which he shared his first roll of film and the stories behind the frames. So I dug out my first roll and it really got me reflecting on my photographic journey so far.
