A Fishy Encounter

The past week had been a blast! Spending time out and about with the La Sardina has been nothing short of an adventure…
A quick shout out to the wonderful folks at Lomography who made this possible for me!!! Thank you!!!

Now, let me take you through my Fishy Encounter!

For my first roll, I decided to try the Lomography Redscale XR, since it has an extended range which makes it easy when shooting with a camera of fixed aperture (and shutter) like the La Sardina

Read on to find out all about my adventure!

It was a wet and gloomy noon as it was drizzling, and since it was slightly dark, the film exhibits a more intense red hues.

So… I thought “Let’s try some double or multiple exposure!”

And so I did! (It made my trigger-happy finger very happy indeed!) With the La Sardina, it is really easy to do MX (code name for Multiple eXposure) as it has a little switch made just for that!

Finally when the rain has decided to spare me the misery, and the sun peeped from behind the clouds, I was getting a little more light and feeling happier…

This color saturation is just right to me, and it gives a sense of mystery with the slight vignetting at the sides.

Even with a brighter light, it didn’t stop me from doing more MX shots! :)

And now, this is one special photo, it turned out very different from the rest but it looks great! I love film! I love all the surprise it brings! LOMO ON!

Part 1 of my Fishy Encounter has ended… And I hurried over to the friendly photo lab (Triple D @ Burlington Sq) to drop off my roll…

It also means, Part 2 is just waiting to start!!

This time … the film of choice is Fuji Sensia 400!!!!!! It is a slide film, and I was very excited to x-pro (cross process) it and see what sparks would a combi like the La Sardina and Sensia 400 give!

Though it’s x-pro but the color shift is fairly natural, just with a more vivid and intense contrast which I really like!

Plus, the ultra wide lens of the La Sardina gives it a nice perspective. Specially when it’s up close!

I am still trying to get the hang of the focal distance of the La Sardina but it didn’t stop me from having fun!

And I really love the MX switch, it made it so easy to have extra fun doing multiple exposure!

I am definitely gonna bring it out again and again (before my 3-weeks runs out!)
