hello there welcome back to the channel this week we're back with another analog adventure
so we're back to film photography and it was actually last week that i took my canon e1
program a role of portrait 800 and my lovely girlfriend you're back to the town of malvin
in england to do some portrait photography this was actually the first time that i shot portrait
on my canon a1 program and i'm not gonna lie i was a little disappointed with some of the results
but we'll get into that a bit later we begin the video in the car on the way to melbourne
malvin itself is super small so we decided to focus our efforts in priory park
it was really warm sunny day there was lots of wildlife about and it's just a nice place to be
so yeah not every single frame on the road is a portrait but i'm quite glad of that because
it was good to shoot some other things in the park like these ducks
and i like the use of negative space plus the rule of arts here
i've been playing around with the orientation of this image
and i'm not sure which way i like it more in a portrait or a landscape
here
all right you wanna lie down
all right let's let's can you get your face come close the air like use the light
okay yeah that's nice i learned a couple of things from this
portrait session the most obvious being that i really need to plan
this time around we kind of went on a whim we didn't plan any of these images and i think it
really shows for the next portrait session i'm going to develop a theme or a concept
so we're going out of the park now i'm gonna try some portraits in the little town of malvin
so
so it's a couple of days later and um i didn't finish the roll on that day and we've got four
or five frames left on portrait 800 so i'm just gonna get some random shots today um it's a bit
of a it's a bit of a chore day we're just going shopping and we've been cleaning the house so
i'm just gonna get some random shots around the area that's that we had to get into the
supermarket and get home because it's pretty hot so i'm just going to go into my garden and
see what i can shoot from here just a little challenge see what we get
to conclude like i said at the beginning i'm slightly disappointed with this this round of
images this time there's a number of factors which play into this uh the first being that
we didn't really plan the shoot as i mentioned before we really need to plan um and come up
with some sort of design concept or just a theme for the shoot i think that would help a lot the
second thing is we shot the wrong time of day uh it was near enough the middle of the day
when we had the harshest light and if you look at the comparison between
this photo and this photo you can really see how big of a difference the light makes
having said all that though i really enjoyed it as always so yeah i'm still very early on in my
film photography career i recognize this is a lifelong process for me and one that
i'm always going to be evolving and trying to improve if i had to pick a favorite image
from the shoot let me just go through and see which one would be my favorite
i think my favorite image is probably this one of your back might not it might not be yours let me
know what yours is if you want with a comment below but um this one just looks like a street
portrait for me it looks almost candied it looks like i've pulled her off the street for portrait
so um yeah i really like this one so yeah that's my favorite anyway thank you
for watching the video hope you had a good one i'll see you next week in the next one
you
