Family Brunch Jan 31_10

These shots turned out really well and I think I am finally getting "the hang" of film. The depth of field in a few of these shots really taught me a lot about F-stops. I was using the expired Agfa iso 200 film and it was about 1pm with an overcast day outside. This provided some soft light coming in our big window in the living room. The f-stop was fairly low and this created a very nice depth of field on these portraits. Sadly the expired Agfa film is showing a rainbow line in these shots and looks to be consistent across rolls. In the future I will most likely use this film for B&W shoots, converting the color to B&W in picasa. Also I think its safe to say that the quality of these shots would have been hard to capture in natural light with a digital point and shoot.

Shot with 1974 Canon on 06 expired Agfa iso 200 film. No edits.
