Anomaly

In this project I attempted my first experiment with film photography. This was a challenge as it is a format I have never used before and it took away the security of shooting digital. I used a Lomography Fisheye 2 camera and Superia 200 film in this project.

I wanted to explore the different effects the Fisheye camera could create, so I tried to capture exposures of a wide range of landscapes, buildings and shapes. The closer to the subject it is, the more effective the skewed perspective of the Fisheye lens becomes.

I had a feeling that the film I was using would have too low an exposure, and when I got around to having my photographs developed I found that I was correct. This combined with generally overcast/dark weather meant my photographs were quite dark.

Though I was not as pleased with my prints as I would have liked, I enjoyed experimenting with a format completely new to me and felt that it fulfilled the brief.
