Last year, I got myself a 35mm in the hopes of using it for an overseas trip. The camera is a secondhand Nikon RD2- my first Nikon camera.The overseas trip did not push through so this camera, which I fondly call Paul- after a Paul Simon song, stayed in our shelf for a year. I even forgot its existence until my sister borrowed it.
Anyway, these are the photos I took when I used the camera for the very first time. It was only this year that I got the chance to use it, so it was a delight to see that the results are beautiful. Compared to my SLR film camera, I prefer using this since I'm still to master how manual camera works. I can't commit myself to use my manual camera and waste film rolls. Wasting resources is a big NO NO.
As for my film, I used a cheap black and white film called Shanghai GP3 Pan 100 I bought online. It's my first time using a black and white film, and although there were limitations when using black and white film, it's a good option when creating a story through photos. Black and white films make scenes a little more sombre than coloured films, and that's something I'll take into consideration the next time I'll use a black and white film.
