Mamiya M645 with Kodak portra 400 120

Happy Friday!

I've been experimenting with medium format cameras. Dare I say, I enjoy using film more than digital. I love the feeling of waiting for a film to be processed. Waiting to see if I've over/under exposed or if the camera actually works. Plus, I find film produces better images.

I'm in love with this Mamiya. Ah, every time I say Mamiya, I feel the need to burst out in Mama Mia - Abba song.

Apart from not having a light meter, it's a great camera and I enjoy using the waistline view finder as it helps me experiment with different angles I would have never tried if I was using my usual SLR.

This is the first film I've processed with the mamiya, not so bad.

That's me in the scarf :)

    I have always shot digital, but i've always envied those who can skillfully use film camera. These are beautiful!! My favorites are the leaf pictures. I love the contrasting colors. Can't wait to follow your blog:)

    Fellow photographer here, these shots are stunning and crisp. I'm even more inspired that these are taken from a film camera. Glad I stumbled across this post!
