Photos from my first roll

[photoMouse]

I got my first roll (test roll) from My Canonet developed. And there were no problems so I thought I'd share a few that I liked.

I posted them in my gallery.

take a look. They're probably not any good since I'm new at this.
Please, comment!

Thank you for the great advice Alex.
I will definitely do that with my next roll of film. 🙂
What did you think of my pictures?

Personally, I like the subject matter. I mean, I would rather look at the inside of a janitor's closet any day instead of another freaking owl or barn. The one of the floor waxer is pretty terrific. It would have been nice if you could have gotten the waxer in sharper focus and the background more blurred...but it's tricky indoors, with no flash, on a shutter-priority camera.

I love that camera BTW. I've had mine for two weeks and it's like the best thing ever.

Though I confess to photographing a few barns in my day, actually.

No owls though! Never!!!!

Or bowls of fruit by a window!!

There's a lack of inhibition in those shots that's great ... enjoy the camera and keep posting pics. 🙂

Way to go, Mouse!

You're gonna have lots of fun with the Canonet! I've got a handful of different ones, and they're nice machines. I do the same thing...wander around taking pictures of whatever's at hand. I've got a good picture of a mop in my gallery...

Ya ought to try some BW film, too. I buy Arista from Freestyle.com, and soup it myself. Easy to do, and adds another dimension to your photography.

Regards!

I don't think I could bring myself to photographing a bowl of fruit. Unless it struck me in some way.

Same with a barn, it would have to have a certain look, it would have to have some character.

And thank you for the input on the photos. 😀

Random shots are my thing. I like unplanned, they've got more life. And i've been wanting to try some black and white film. I have a friend that might give me hers because she hasn't had time to use it.

Thanks, I'll post more as soon as I take them 😀

If I was being struck by a bowl of fruit, I doubt I'd have the presence of mind, let alone the reflexes, to photograph it.

Haha, very true. Nice sense of humor. very literal. I dont think i'd like to be struck by a bowl of fruit in that way 😀
