Film Photography

May 17, 2010

Learning photography is nothing easier than using digital camera because it provides instant review where film photography can’t achieve. However, that LCD review can be a big distraction for us as a photographer. Simply because we’re so busy checking the picture every time after we press the shutter. A term called ‘chimping‘ is introduced to digital photography which describes the habbit of checking every photo on the camera.

Don’t get me wrong, it is a great feature that we can see the picture instantly to make sure if someone has eyes closed. It is very useful for photographing children because they run / move / jump so fast that most likely you can’t get the shots you want with just one snap. However, if we spend a lot of time checking the pictures, we might not be able to capture things happening around us.

I like using film camera to capture daily life. The good thing about film camera is that I don’t need to worry about checking the LCD anymore. I just need to focus on framing, timing of the objects. One of the best thing about film photography is that I don’t get to see the pictures right away. I need to take the film rolls to the lab for development. The anticipation of the picture creates the desire for taking better pictures. Try it and you will see what I mean.

These pictures were taken with a manual focus rangefinder camera with black & white film. No photoshop work has been done to them. It really helps me to focus on framing, lighting and timing in photography.

I also did an entire engagement session with film lately, you can check it out here.

It’s super hot in Phoenix and we spend the morning in Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. The weather is a lot cooler especially inside the big cave with running water coming down like rain. We went home and then I got a surprise homemade birthday cake from my wife.

Happy Father’s Day!

June 22, 2009

Happy Father’s day! I’m so blessed being a dad with two wonderful children and a lovely wife:) I got some cutest gifts yesterday for daddy’s day. I kind of know something is coming weeks ago because Brian couldn’t help to tell me since two weeks ago. It’s a challenge for a 4 years old to keep the secret for weeks but he did it. It’s a surprise to me and I love the cards made by my daughter, my son, and my wife. My daughter believes I’m “The Best Photographer”. I’m so proud of her creativity!

The hand painted wooden planes is a total surprise for me. They are so cute! Very nice paint job.

Father’s day sermon from our church talked about wisdom from Ecclesiastes 7. One of our tasks being a father is to pass our wisdom our children. It’s a good reminder for every father in world.

All handmade cards by my family!
