Film Friday: Antelope Island

I want to start a new little segment on here called "Film Friday".  Ever since I found those rolls of "lost film", I've been itching to get back out with my SLR.

Hopefully this self imposed challenge will get me taking more pictures with my film camera!

Without further ado, my film from Antelope Island.

How do you guys like film vs. digital?  Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of this animals with this camera...I was leaving that work to my dSLR.  And that will be a post for another day.

Found Color Film

Since I found that wonderful random roll of black and white film the other day, I decided to clean out my camera drawer (yes...I have a whole drawer of camera things in my house) and I found a roll of color film that had been used.  At least, I hoped that it had been used since it had been rolled in like it had been used.

Got it developed and that only want that I could identify when it was, was from the pictures of this happy day!

So the film wasn't as old as the black and white film but STILL, almost a year.

The rest of these pictures are from my garden.  I never would have been able to figure out how old this film was with just these pictures.  I will often end a roll of film in my backyard.

And to finish off the roll, a rare self portrait.

Finding these two rolls of film got me thinking about the time delay difference between digital and film.  With digital, the image is instant.  Right there.  You see how it turned out and you can tweek it on the spot.   Film always requires some kind of a delay.  Sometimes, it is just an hour from ending your shoot and getting the film back.  Sometimes, it is days.  It would be days when I processed it myself in a lab because I would have to wait until I had time to go into the lab.  In these cases, it was measured in months and years.

I'm thinking of picking a day sometime this month, and making a "time capsule" roll of film.  A roll to save for a year.  Wouldn't that be a fun tradition?
