Warm-up doodles from last week, which I decided to slap some color on. It’s me! With the outfit I wore the day they were drawn. Hopefully I can share more drawings soon.
Before summer I bought a couple of packages of Lomography’s Chrome film (which now is out of production, for some reason). I shot a few rolls with my toy cameras this summer, but the results were terribly overexposed. Only the results from my Lomo LC-A+ RL were worth sharing online, really.
Next time I’ll set the ISO to 200 and see what happens. I read somewhere that the colors will turn out better if shot underexposed. Fun with film!
I have not devoted much time to my LC-A+ RL this summer, but I did bring it along on every trip I took. The roll consisted of a few snaps here, and some other there. It’s such a fun camera and I love taking multiple exposures with it.
Look at my stupid shadow.
It was honestly a terrible summer for taking photos. It was raining so much I was afraid to bring my cameras outside in case they got soaking wet. I think we only had two days with sunny weather… I also have a problem with the Moskva–5′s viewfinder. It seems to be way off even though I try to be really meticulouse when composing my shots. Next time I’ll switch to 6×9 and see if it will do any good.
My uncle and aunt gave me their old Olympus OM-30 in hopes that I could put it to good use. This is my first analogue SLR camera and I was very excited to test out Lomography’s Tungsten X film with it. Here are some results from the gloomy month of July:
I also tried to shoot doubles with it, but I overexposed most of the roll. I love these though:

I think this is a pretty sweet film+camera combination, and I really love the camera! So grateful they wanted me to have it. Can’t wait to shoot other films with it, and the camera will be handy in the coming darker months. This bad mofo can handle low lit scenery pretty well.
I shot a roll with my Lubitel 2 a few days before I traveled up north to enjoy my summer vacation. Why did I leave this camera on the shelf for so long? I LOVE MY LUBITEL. And to think I bought it for like 10 USD. I’m so gonna start using it more often. Also, Bergen is so beautiful during spring.

I brought my Polaroid SX-70 on our little trip to Haparanda in Sweden. The weather was so nice once we crossed the border. Little did I know that this would be the only sun I would enjoy in July!! :@ Damn norwegian weather.
This happens if you leave your camera in a sun-heated car for too long; the film gets very unstable.

On our way back we stopped by an Arctic Elk Farm, which is more a mini zoo with arctic elks. The big one was saved when his mother got killed by a bear. They later adopted a female for him, and the family grew from there. I even got to pet the big one! More info here. They also had a whole forest (and a lake) to themselves but preferred to stay close with the people running the farm.
It was a nice little road trip.

Freya ♥ cucumber.
I also tried out some expired film and this was the only shot I really liked. I was focusing on her snout ♥
Of course I’m not gonna pass up the chance to get my hands on a Polaroid SX-70 camera. Not only do I think this is one of the most beautiful cameras – it was also fully functional. So I finally fullfilled one of my childhood dreams of owning a Polaroid camera. Still sad about Polaroid shutting down their film production, but thankfully the Impossible Project seem to be making great progress with their films.
Behold, my first polaroid pictures:

The next few posts will all be photos I took this summer. Dunno why I didn’t bother post them here before. Also, I think I’ll continue to blog in english. I really need to improve my writing and hopefully this will do the trick. Sorry about typos and such.
Sommeren ankom Bergen, og tilga byen for all drittværet jeg har blitt utsatt for denne vinteren. Det holdt seg stødig over 20 grader i to uker, og fremdeles er det ganske pent.
Jeg benyttet sjansen til å sole meg på den minst okkuperte grønne flekken i sone Bergen. I mens leste jeg Mockingjay (ikke bra) og Dune (bra). Tror jeg til og med fikk litt antydning til farge(!!).
I denne blokka bor jeg.
Jeg var også innom Fanzinekvelden på Nobel Bopel. Det var heftig kos, og jeg ble mer motivert til å komme i gang med egen fanzineproduksjon. Forhåpentligvis får jeg gjort noe av det i sommer. Andre ting jeg må gjøre i sommer: redesigne bloggen… Prøve å ta i bruk teorien jeg har lært dette året.
