We have three modules but one focuses entirely on photography and the way cameras work. We finished a digital project on urban landscapes (I'll put images for that up soon) and have now moved on to the film project on street photography. Now I must admit I absolutely HATED using film, the confusion over how the hell it works and all that processing just put me right off. At the beginning we were given a full introduction into how to load, unload, process, expose and develop the film, as the project went along I saw how film can make images look so much more authentic and I started developing an interest to it now I like film just as much as digital.
We have started off using Ilford HP5 35mm with an ISO of 400 which is the standard film that people normally start of with and then go on to use medium format and then large format. Next semester (which is after a month of Christmas holidays yaay) we will start using medium format which I am really excited about now that I know more about what I can do with it.
Just added some of my favourite images by Henri Cartier Bresson taken during his 'indecisive' moments where the subjects didn't know they were being photographed.
