I approached the camera with some old black and white film I had found and bought off of trade me. and then went about taking images where and when I thought fit to do so. Without much consideration I took these images, eager to make comparisons between not only the colour film and the black and white film, but also between the square aspect ratio and the rectangular aspect ratio.
I shopped around at places to develop the film. I had previously used image lab who were reasonably priced and I had inquired in the photo warehouse who were ridiculously expensive. Wellington Photographic's offered me the best price yet; and the quickest service.
Upon picking the images up today I was shocked and disappointed that only only one of the images had exposed the way I had anticipated. A couple of the others had exposed just enough to identify what they are, but the majority of the images were not exposed sufficiently.
A lot of the images have strange white or grey sections on them and all of the images, although it is most noticeable in the darker images, have white specs all over them that sometimes appear to look like the sky on a starry night.
I also haven't figured out how to use the film scanner very well so my black and white images turned out like this.
The one image that is easy to make out is the bicycle wheels on the bottom which I may still be able to use.
