B Rolls vol.4
This week, I have another installment of B Rolls for you all, just because I have been shooting a lot with my 35mm point and shoot camera. I’m really sad and disappointed at how this roll came out. I will emphasize the importance of understanding the ISO of the film you are shooting.
The easiest way I can explain ISO is basically the sensitivity of the film to light. The higher the ISO, the “faster” the film is because it is more sensitive to light. So, shooting a film with a higher ISO (800, 1600) will be better to shoot in dark situations, but you will end up with a grainier and “noisy” shot. Whereas, if you shoot with a lower ISO (100, 200, 400), it is ideal for sunnier situations, because the film is “slower” and less sensitive to light.
I forgot the name of this particular roll of film, but it had a cool effect to it, that it kinda gave a Rasta color to the photos. But, a lot of the photos came out really dark. I did the most I could to salvage some of the photos.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to shit on the film or anything. I actually really like the film and the effect, I just wished I shot with it a lot better. Also, I want to post things that aren’t perfect to show that you will run into instances where some or even all your photos end up crappy and unusable. To be completely honest, one of my rolls of film I was excited to develop last week ended up completely blank and unusable, because the film accidentally got exposed to light and ruined the entire roll.

The photos from this roll were captured on the same weekend my girlfriend and I went to Santa Cruz. If you have been reading along, then you would’ve seen how the digital photos ended up. Out of 36 captures in the roll, just a handful of them were actually usable and salvageable. So, use this as a reference if you want to consider film photography as a hobby. I will be completely honest, it will become an expensive hobby with the cost of film, developing, and finding a film camera you want to shoot with. Don’t let this be discouraging yo anyone of you that want to get in to it.
Til the next one, enjoy.
