E93 328i 35mm film

S65Hunter · 04-03-2022, 08:57 AM

New to photography, found a mint condition Canon ae-1 while helping a family member move some stuff in storage. Here's just a few shots I took of my car, if anyone seems interested, I'll post more. Also, all tips/criticism is welcome, I'm still learning.

From a technical standpoint I’d probably cut down the exposure juuust a bit, or use lower ISO film just because some of the details on the car seem a washed out. I have some experience with a camera but my father was/is a professional, so take my advice with a grain of salt. Other than that, keep practicing!

Thanks for the advice! I believe I was using Porta 800 which is too high for this amount if light.

I am not into photography, but I dont like shadows in corners on pic 1 and 3.
Everything else looks great!

Thanks! I just read an article about 35mm film. I didn't know you could swap put your rolls half way through to a different ISO film. Still learning lol

Here's a few more, and again I wasn't really using the correct film for the lighting.

I think the 3rd to last in the parking garage and the last pic are great! Also thinking of buying a film camera this year, the ae-1 seems like a good one for novices

AE-1 is one of the best beginner 35mm! only problem is prices have gone up because everyone has started shooting film again

It's definitely a different hobby than I'm used to. I'm enjoying it so far. Once my 120 film adapters come in the mail, I'm gonna shoot some photos with my 1942 Brownie Juniour 616.... will be interesting
