I was visiting a car boot in the local area a few weekends ago and came across a small 1960's camera called a Halina. It takes 35mm film. I was just so over the moon. It was in mint condition and I had been dying to use a new medium for my photography.
Interestingly it did take a little while to work out how to get the film in. My idea was to make sure that I was out in bright light to give it the best opportunity and sadly I did have to wait a few days for sun light.
When I had shot the film I took my time taking out the film and went to the local photo shop that I work in.
I developed the negatives myself and as they came out I could make out what the photos were of which was a great feeling.
After processing the negatives I transferred the pictures to digital and brought them straight home. To my excitement I loved the photos and the effect of the camera.
The day was not misty or hazy but the effect is. The color of the sky in some of the shots is just out of this world.
Please watch this space for more photos from my 1960's Helina. Will it be accompanying me on my travels? Yes it will, such a buzz using a new medium!
