Avec ce poste, il s'agit pas de parler de la politique americaine. Non, there are other blogs for that. I just want share some photos of a political rally that I went to last October. What interests me in these events is the historical aspect and I just simply wanted to photograph people.
I also wanted to finish up a roll of film that I already had in my old Nikon FE. I rarely shot with film, but I had a couple of unused rolls that I wanted to use up. Shooting with the Nikon FE is a joy with its straightforward design. I usually shoot in aperture priority mode so I can concentrate on focusing on my subject. It is has a fairly large viewfinder, larger than my Nikon D50 which makes it a pleasure to shot with. I have been shooting digital since 1999 and don't have a lot of experience shooting film. I would like to develop my own film un de ces quatre though.
There is something about shooting with film that appeals me. There is no instant gratification with shooting film. I am left anxious to know what the results will be. Moreover, as I can't take hundreds of photos at a time, I have to be focused on what I want to shoot and be satisfied the moment I press on the shutter release button. I have to be conservative with my shooting habits. I am left wanting to enjoy each and every one of the 24 or 36 shots in a roll because I can't take hundreds of shots at a time like with an SD card.
The photos in this posting were taken with three different films. The black and white photos were taken with a roll kodak bw400cn that I already had loaded in the camera. I also used a roll of kodak max 400 speed film as well as a roll of expired Fuji 200 speed film. Both are consumer films.
I was generally satisfied with the colors of the kodak max film although I have not shot with more expensive colors films to be able to appreciate the difference. ISO 400 film tends to show more grain compared to shooting at ISO400 with my D50. On the other hand, the texture of film grain looks different compared to digital grain.
As far as the Fuji 200 speed film, given that the film was expired, the colors didn't come out all that great. I converted some to black and white. All three rolls were scanned during development. With my Nikon FE, I used my MF 50mm f/1.2 and 24mm f/2.0. Given the bright weather conditions along with using a faster speed film, I used smaller aperture ranging from 4.0 to 11 to shot.
