Film. plus or minus??

I decided it has been a long time since i shot on film. i thought i would take this vintage nikon f and put it to the test.

this camera is all metal, completely manual, including the film advance lever. the light meter is hardly a meter. it has a needle that bounces from over exposed to under and a prime 1.4 lens. but the truth is i love it.

i just got my photos developed and after eager anticipation. they turned out sour. 1 roll was completely ruined. and the other is obviously my first roll on film in a while.

so.

film is tough
film is raw

good or bad?




this was a photo shot before i got the light meter working. i metered with a digital camera and then tweaked from there.
what do you think?

i want more. production went well, or well enough for a "first time" doing a production. Things were learned and i want to do it again.

12 hours overnight seemed like nothing.

i will post some production stills soon.
