I'm finally done with the test. The experiment went rather well, with some shots surprisingly recognizable. All of them largely blurred, because I couldn't keep my hands steady that long (pasmado kasi). I had to not care that I looked like some weirdo holding a little plastic box up for over 20 seconds. I think I'm getting somewhere. I just bought double-sided tape to renew the pinhole - it's smaller and sans tearing.

This camera redefines "manual". The film took me ages to load. And winding it after every shot is just one big guessing game. Is this enough? Is this too much? Am I wasting film? Anyway, the suspense factor I guess adds to its appeal. And also the fact that you can double-expose without even meaning to. Which is what happened with my favorite guinea pig shot. Hehe. I don't even remember what I double-exposed it with! Freaky.

  I think this is best for creating abstract photos. Hehe. This hobby is rather peculiar, huh? Looks like it takes patience and persistence to come up with a nice pic but you seem to be enjoying it. That's good.

  abaniko: this hobby is also expensive! hehe. i'm spending so much on film and processing. but i guess it's the suspense - not knowing what you got. my digicam is taking the backseat for now.
