Hi friends! I got a new camera to play with last week! Here are a few photos from the test roll from the new camera, Contax 645 with an 80mm 2.0 lens. These photos were taken by Ian and I in the office. Oh yes, by the way this camera takes film. Not digital.  Enjoy!

Film Friday! I feel like this week I had a breakthrough with Film. My images look so much better than the past few weeks. The density and color is more straight on and there are no blurry photos. The focus is spot on. yes!

Bob and Susie are celebrating their 30th marriage anniversary this year. THIRTY YEARS! Congratulations! Bob and Susie are parents to this wonderful woman.

Look at that gorgeous ring!

It’s Friday! You know what that means, time to break out the film camera. I have been photographing with a Mamiya c330 TLR camera. I took my fun medium format camera with me to Malisa and Brian’s wedding last weekend. I shot one roll of 12, and these are my favorite photos. Making each shot count on a roll has helped to slow down and compose images. enjoy!

Want to get in on the fun? Participate in Film Fridays! I’d love to make this a community thing, so feel free to join in!

1. Take out your film camera or buy one on ebay!

2. Take a roll of film.

3. Have it processed at your local pro camera store. I take mine to Colonial Photo and Hobby.

4. Tell the lab  to process the film and scan it to CD. I don’t get prints back. I get a lovely CD that has the photos on it sized at 2000 pixels on each side.  Each roll of film for me costs about $9. It’s really not so expensive.

5. Post the finished photos on your blog!

6. Link back to www.heatherahrens.com/blog with your post, and comment below saying you are participating in Film Fridays.

7. I will post a list of people participating each week along with my post.

It’s Friday! If you missed last week’s post about Film Friday, here it is. And if you are too lazy to read that… I know I would be, here is a short explination.

Film Friday is all about getting back to the basics. Each photo posted on Friday will be taken on film. No digital here. I really like the straight out of the camera look of film, so I won’t be doing any retouching/ color enhancing unless otherwise noted.

Stefanie and I photographed Zander and his family this week. Here is a sneak peek from the session. I shot one test roll at the session, and here it is:
