Meppel grachtenfestival 2014



A couple weeks ago... a good friend of mine got tip from her colleague about this 'grachtenfestival' something like canals festival (no idea what the english term is) in Meppel. I thought it was good idea to test out my Nikon EM that I bought recently. So with my camera and with black and white 400 iso roll I got beautiful result. I'm really happy with this camera.

A collection of the past memories


I had 4 roll of films that was waiting for a long time to be develop and finally I managed to do so. Some pictures are more than a year old. Also I recently bought a Canonet QL19 camera and had to test it out. Colored ones are taking with Canonet QL19, Black and white are taking with Minolta camera.  I had to do a little work (photoshop) to make them look a little more deeper and darker. Black and white pictures are bit grainy looking. I’m not sure why.
  
Recently I bought a Nikon EM camera and I love it. I think I don’t need any other camera than my Nikon. So I’ll be using that one more often. I will try to post the pictures that I took with Nikon EM, used film “Lady Grey iso 400” soon. I really loved the end result, Nikon is the only camera I have with light meter which makes it so much easier to take good pictures, also I learning how to look at the object and how dark or light the subject gets. (Canonet ql19 has light meter too but only works with A mode....so...not handy all the time)

Here are the pictures;



Just another weekend with my friend Rebecca. Exploring around. Autumn

Dominican Monastery and Church (Dominicanenklooster & - Kerk)
Last weekend me and my friend (Rebecca) decided to visit the Monastery, that we always see and talk about. We also had a little tour, found out that there are some 'brothers' who were living in monastery. I really love churches, I always like to know the story behind the symbols and objects also architecture amazes me. It was very nice that we were allowed to take pics. These has been taken with Canonet ql19. My friend has this amazing DSLR camera, when I saw her pics of the Monastery I was so so so jealous. I need to buy one, I guess. check her blog if you're interested. 

Also I took a few with my phone camera... will be posting that soon too.

5 May 2014 (Bevrijdingsdag) something like "Independence day"
It was the first time I actually went to a "Bevrijdings" festival, it was fun. We had luck because the weather was also amazing. Food, sun and music...with friends :)  Pitures are taken with Minolta








I really love the effect on these last 2 pictures, so I didn't touched it.

So this was my test shoot using colored film iso 400 with Canonet QL19.... these pictures are not photoshopped, I loved the effect and didn't felt the need to make it any better.
