{Diana + Tri-X} 2.0

I couldn’t resist loading the Diana up with Tri-X again, after the results of the last roll. I also wanted to practice doing more pinhole photos, since I really want to get a certain 3D printed pinhole camera this year.

 I was worried about this roll, because when I opened the back to take the film out, the roll was “fat.” Meaning it wasn’t tightly wound onto its take-up spool, and the top and bottom of the film would probably be fogged by light. When that happens, I try to get the film into a light-tight place until I can get home, where I can go into completely dark room (usually the closet) and re-roll the film more tightly onto the spool. I don’t know if this “fat roll” of Tri-X wasn’t problematic because I had unloaded the film in light that was subdued, or if you just can’t tell it’s fogged because it’s black and white film, but I was so happy when I got my scans back and the shots weren’t ruined!

Kodak Tri-X is my favorite Kodak black and white film. It’s the only black and white film that I’ve shot in my Diana F+ thus far, and I have found that it’s a really nice pairing of camera and film. I can’t really qualify that statement, except to say I just feel like Tri-X has the right amount of grain and contrast for use in this plastic camera! Kind of like how sometimes you can’t put your finger on why you like a particular piece of art, you just know you do like it 🙂

Here are photos taken with my most recent use of the Diana F+ and Tri-X together. I am rather pleased!

{Compilation} Holly Springs, Mississippi

This winter, I went to the town of Holly Springs, Mississippi for little photo excursions a couple of times.  The town is the county seat for Marshall County, Mississippi and has a really cute town square where I enjoy doing photography. I have shared a handful of photos from those photo excursions here on Shoot With Personality already, but I really wanted to compile those previously-shared photos with a lot of new ones I recently had developed!

I really love exploring Holly Springs with my camearas, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing more photos of it here soon!
