Summer weddings and such have been so crazy, I haven't had a lot of time to take my camera around the city or up into the Colorado mountains while I'm here in Denver, but ohhhh it will happen!
Until then, I did take a few minutes to take some pictures out my family's back door. About 2 weeks ago, my mom's rose bushes were blooming like crazy. They were so gorgeous, I couldn't stop staring at them.
I've been wanting to learn and shoot more film this summer. So I picked up 4 of my cameras, 3 of which are film, and played around. It was heaven. I even grabbed my favorite subjects -my sisters- for a couple portraits. And then, I even had them take some pictures of me. Awkward, yes. ;)
But I honestly couldn't get away from those rose bushes...
To start, here are 3 digital photos taken with my Nikon d80, edited with Adobe Lightroom (but I'm telling you, those roses pop out on their own, which you'll notice even more with the film):
After a few digital, I tried the film thing. First, the fisheye, which I always love (no photoshop):
my best subjects-
lol...
Next, here are a few with the holga 35mm. Pretty sure that camera has driven me crazy. In fact, my face should show you the rage... lol. No, I look really ticked off, but I just wasn't ready for this one. But I did like the accidental imperfection of the edges:
the holga was pretty clear here when my sister used it...
ya, I can't really get it right. any tips?...
And last but not least, these next 10 were taken with my new favorite- my grandpa's old 1981 Minolta x700. It's all manual focus and such, so crazy. I know the roses seem a little over-saturated, but that's just how they came out. No Photoshop at all! My goodness, I couldn't believe some of what came out of this camera...
...especially these-
Fun, yes? :)

Those roses are beautiful, and I LOVE the fisheye. SO cool. I expecially love it the bridals that you've done with the fisheye.
Enjoy having a break for a little while! And thanks for the link!
so so fun!! I've been itching to get my hands on a holga!! I love that last holga shot with the graininess and texture on the roses.
Bethany Rose, why are your clothes always so stinking cute? Darling little shirt-dress. And these pictures were so fun to look at. Good for you for practicing on film!
