A Lack of Color

Earlier this year I was on the hunt for a roll of black and white film. Sadly, such a thing is not as easy to find as it once was. I eventually found some at a drugstore with a pretty hefty price tag attached to it. I know that analog photography is going by the wayside and film prices have steadily increased over the last few years, but it was still extreme sticker shock! The last time I remember buying b&w film was in 2009 and I didn't pay $7+ for it. Ugh. I was sharing these woes with my good blogging friend Anna and she so sweetly included a roll for me during one of our photo swaps. It was such a nice surprise! This roll of b&w film spent the better part of July in my camera and I finally got it developed about a month ago. And here I am finally sharing (some of) the results.

P.S. Thanks again Anna!

Single lens reflex

Below are a few photos I took this past weekend with my manual focus 35mm Nikon FM10 SLR camera. It's a pretty basic camera and since I hardly qualify as a photographer, I'm pleased with the results it yields. With this particular roll of film (Kodak Professional BW 400, in case you were wondering), I added both a Vivitar Soft II 52mm lens and a Vivitar 52mm Cross Screen VI lens.
