b-rolls vol. 5
This week, I have another installment of B-Rolls. This has been primarily my content lately, because it is just so much easier to carry my 35mm point and shoot film camera. Hoping to get some more digital shots soon. I really really just need to stop being lazy and just fall in love with photography again and just bring my camera everywhere. I am really considering getting a smaller and easy to carry camera like the Ricoh GR-IIIx, Fujifilm XF100, or even the Sony RX100 VI; which one of my good friends recently scored for a deal and I am highly jealous. Basically something really small in form factor and is easy to just throw into a pocket or even in my Saccoche.

Alright, enough of the ranting and my bullshit excuses of not creating new photos. So, on this roll of film, I finally took note to remember which film this was. This roll is a Dubblefilm Apollo 400. I actually really liked the look of this film. It has deep shadows and a punchy highlight to it. That being said, it isn’t the best to shoot with in darker situations. I would suggest shooting this in a lot of natural day light. I would consider this more of an outdoor day time type of film. I shot some photos in bright midday natural light with a bit of shadowing, and the results were kinda dope. Faces were dark and mysterious in the shadows but the details in the forefront of the photo were very prominant with the highlights. You’ll see what I’m talking about when you look through these shots. Would I shoot this film again? Absolutely. I just really need to be more aware to shoot it in brighter situations.

Well, that wraps up what I wanted to share about this roll of film. The next roll I should be developing will be my first ever Black and White film. I’m pretty stoked to see how that comes out, but also very nervous that the whole roll might come out like shit. I guess thats the fun thing about shooting film, you never really know what your shot looks like until its developed.
‘Til the next one, enjoy these photos.
