Aug 25

For this week’s photos, i decided to take it up a notch and shoot with my Smena 8M. I am quite hopeless around manual cameras so i was pretty high-strung when i sent the roll for developing, there was a high chance i would have no material for this week. So the easiest way to know if my photos turned out is when the cashier tells me how much to pay. There’s been so many occasions they return me the balance of my deposit, heartbreaking moments. Well not today, i paid so much i was entitled to use my discount card! There are slightly more photos this week so i hope you don’t get bored scrolling.

    Ohhhh, I love film so much. When I see photos and that element of magic (it’s truly magical) in them, I wonder how I can go back to digital. But then when they charge me $10 to develop 35mm and put it on a CD, I remember again. But for that brief moment, I live in a film world.

    And that albino peacock is really pretty… Makes me think of white chicken rice… I know right… Sick…LOL. Just kidding… o__O!!

    Beautiful pictures; I love them all! The compositions are lovely and the lighting/tone is so pretty. You should work with the 35m more!

    amy: Oh coming from you! *bows thank you.
    kris: hello Kristine :]
    Iconoclastic: It is a wonderful camera i must say, after this, i didn’t want to play with my lomos anymore.
    carrie: i know right, it’s a feeling i dislike too.
    beth: yes the peacock was stunning, like it commanded attention, freaky.
    jo: haha hopelessly romantic, i like
    miss a.: SENTIMENTS EXACTLY, and you use a holga right, the film cost so much!
    Sarah: Woman, you completely killed me, white chicken rice?!!?!!?! hahahaha, i want to be your friend la. This place is Amara Sanctuary at Sentosa.
    The Clothes Horse: I will try to, when budget and time allows :]

  11. Sarah on August 27th, 2008

    Woo WOo… Amara sanctuary…. Sounds expensive. Must do extensive research now! =D Thanx!

    Love your photos. You have a really great knack for them, even the blurry ones look like they’ve been done intentionally! :)

  13. zee on September 21st, 2008

    wow, you really got me interested in the smena 8m with your lovely shots! did you use flash with the night shots, or just point-and-shoot? :)

  14. Melly on September 21st, 2008

    zee: Hey, yes the smena’s very charming - using it as well as the photos it produces. I’m not sure if by right it should come with a flash, but mine didn’t. There’s the slot to accomodate one of cos, slides right on top. So for the night shots, i used a longer shutter speed :]

  15. zee on September 21st, 2008

    hi melly, yeah they don’t come with flashes. i’m thinking of getting one cos i want something (other than my vivitar) that can take nice photos at night too :) thanks for your help!

  16. Melly on September 21st, 2008

    zee: Funny cos the next camera i would get is definitely the vivitar! When i know i will make time for it that is. Do you have your photos up somewhere that i can view?
