participate in flickr's 120 challenge group

my oldest son and i went to lsu and participated within the 120 challenge. the photos turned out okay. it’s was all the better because adam wanted to be a part of it.

i picked up and scanned the photos from my first 120 challenge. all of them stink. i found that i was much more rushed than i thought i would be. thus i didn’t take the time to use my light meter and set the exposure properly. i’m very disappointed with the photos. i’ll just have to try again.

i took my film into kadair’s to be processed. they said it might be ready tomorrow. it’s usually a one hour turn around on color processing of 120 film but they have been saying two days during the CHRISTmas season.

adam, my 11 year old, and i went out tonight to take the photos for the 120 challenge. using a very manual camera, a lubitel 166b) the whole process turned out to be very difficult. i didn’t have time to take light readings and really set up everything properly and thus we drove from spot to spot and took our photos as quickly as possible. i double exposed two shots (thus reducing my number down to 10) in the hurry of the moment. next month i will plan my shots before the day for the challenge actually arrives.

i’ll post my photos next week after they have been processed.

here’s the group page on flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/120challenge/

basically the 120 challenge is to take 120 medium format photos within 120 minutes on a selected theme on the first saturday of the new month. this month’s theme is “holiday” and it happens this saturday.
