Kaiping Diaolou | Film Photography
during this whole trip, i barely had any time to explore because i was working the entire time. the best magic hour light was reserved for filming (after all, i was there for work, not on a photography trip). so the lighting conditions weren’t exactly ideal
the keeper rate wasn’t very high either, maybe around 4 out of 10 frames. i’m still getting familiar with the Mamiya, and the results were all over the place: some were blurry, some overexposed, and others underexposed
i feel like digital photography is often about taking an image that starts at an 8/10 and editing it to a 9/10. film is different, it can start anywhere between a 5 to a 9/10, but when everything comes together, it reaches a 9.5/10. That extra 0.5 is the texture, character, and unpredictability of film—something that simply can’t be replicated
