Sometimes Digital Just Wins

For instance, take today. I've begun working for the school newspaper and today went out to take photos for three assignments at 5 locations. Indoors, outdoors, outdoors, outdoors, and indoors. One camera, 4 lenses, 0 rolls of film. White balance, ISO, adjusted for each place and edited once I returned home. Definitely gives digital an advantage. But I'm not that good at shooting sports indoors (yet, hopefully) so today when I shot the Gonzaga Tennis team indoors, I may have gone overboard. I shot 680 images in an hour (averaging over 10 a minute). Do you see the advantage yet? Also, with my camera set to take the second to largest file size, I can shoot 8 frames a second almost indefinitely (hence, 680 images).

So, in conclusion, please enjoy some of the photos I took while camping last Fall on film!

Chemicals Chemistry and.. uh Chemicals..?

My chemicals and film arrived! I intend to mix them up tonight, and then develop the three rolls I shot this weekend. I've also learned of an alternative process that has yielded amazing results to at least one person using it, while shooting with black and white film that is normally processed in a lab (C-41). its called Cafenol and consists of coffee, vitamin C, and water. I hope to try this out as well if I can find out more specifics on the process.
