December things | Day 3.

Let's change the name of this seasonal series. More fitted to the things I want to write about, more time to post the planned blogposts. I'm pretty happy with it.

Now, let's get on with what I want to write about today. It's something I've discovered this year and I'm planning on keeping it going in 2015 as well: Analog photography.

Before going to Sziget, I got the idea to capture the festival with a disposable camera. So early this year I got myself one, to get used to how it works and see how it works with lighting and focus. I ended up not using it as much as I would have liked to. Not in my day-to-day life and not at Sziget I kind of regret this, to be quite honest. I was very doubtful wether the things I wanted to photograph were 'worth' the spot on that roll, since you only have one go. Quite a scary thought. This scary thought kept me from using the camera's to their full potential, which made me end up with far from the amount of captured memories at, for example, Sziget.

But, a few months ago, my mom showed me an automatic analog camera we had laying around, that hadn't been used in some time. We also, luckily still have some rolls as well, so, for me, there was no question but to start using this baby as well. Same as with the disposable ones, though, I was very scared photographing with it. I used it far from enough and that was a real shame. But I'm starting to get used to it now. I'm making myself take it everywhere i go when I go do something else than sit at home in my bedroom or go to internship and I'm starting to get the hang of it. At my last London trip I finished my first roll and I'm soon bringing it in to get developed. This roll was black and white, so I can't wait to see how the pictures turned out. It contains pictures from my first London trip with my sister, as well as the second one with my parents and grandparents and some things that happened in between. So excited.

i can't wait to get more into it and more experienced next year. I'm finding myself having less interest in the digital DSLR camera and more in the analog one and pinning kind of analog-feel pictures on my pinterest. I just love the atmosphere they have over them and I'm really excited if I've managed to capture it as well.

Maybe, just maybe, if I'm happy enough with the outcome, I will share some shots with you. You'll just have to wait and see.

Have a nice life,
Xoxo

PS. If you're wondering where the blogpost on last saturday is, I'm not writing one. Not really anything exciting to tell really. I had an amazing time with my friends, we talked, laughed and exchanged presents and christmas cards. I love them.
