Ilford Film

I really like shooting slow film like this Ilford 50 speed black and white. It has much less grain than higher speed film.

The hay in Southern Illinois is starting to be bailed and stored away. These particular fields were on some hills, so that's why there's a slope to the picture (not sloppy photography!) This being the first time I've used a Jiffy Kodak Series II, I'm seeing shading on both the left and right edges that extend out quite a way into the negative area. If you were to crop it out of the images, you would end up with a space the equivalent of a regular-sized 120 negative; 6cm. x 6cm. This camera is a 6cm. x 9cm., so what was the point? I think I really need to find a good, regular 120 camera of some sort.

The first shot with my old 620 camera using 120 film. The lens turned out to be dirty after all and gave the picture that "old-timey" look. Which I was hoping wouldn't happen. Oh, well.

This is what happens when you use a digital camera too much - you become a moron. This was supposed to be the second, third and fourth frames on the roll, but due to my forgetting to wind it each time, I got three exposures for the price of one. Let this be a good lesson you can learn from.
