So today i've decided to do a blog post on my lovely La Sardina Camera! I got this as a birthday present from a wonderful friend <3
La Sardina - St. Tropez Graniers 75$
It uses 35mm film, it cost around 16$ for 7 rolls of film which is really good!!
For the film to be developed it costs about 5$ Which also is not bad! I was thinking it would be more!
I've taken 3 rolls of film worth of photos and only maybe 35 of them actually developed.. and each roll of film take 25 shots.. So not very good but I have learned quite a bit. So I have some tips.
Tips:
1. Don't take photos inside if you don't have flash, or if you have REALLY GOOD LIGHTING.
2. Don't expect too much out of your first roll of film.. Chances are half of the photos won't develop properly.
3. If you are indoors and want to take a photo chance the exposure. Below the "view finder" there will be a little "switch". Depending on whether you indoors or out doors change it. B: indoors, the shutter will stay open for as long as you press shutter. N: Outside when it is sunny (or you have REALLY GOOD LIGHTING) The shutter will click for the normal amount. Then we have the nifty MX: MX is Multiple Exposures. So you can take a photo of say trees, then switch the the exposure to MX and take another photo (without winding the film) of say a person. And when you get the photo developed it will be of a person and the trees!! IN ONE PHOTO! WOAH. I have yet to play with MX, But i have used B and N , and they both work really well!!
Those are all the tips i can currently think of, but if you have question lemme know!!!
