I've always loved film photography, but I haven't got an SLR and I've always thought it would be very expensive to shoot film. I didn't like the idea of using a DSLR as I felt it's more of the camera doing the work than the photographer. A friend of mine gave his old Nikon FM to my 4 yr old daughter as a birthday present last month, it was really kind of him, He knew she loves to take pictures with my phone, so he decided to give this to her to let her explore the world through photography and everything that comes along doing it. I shared the camera with her(Adriana) and here's the results. These are taken with expired Agfa CT Precisa 100 using cross process, straight from the scanner with no crop or edit.

Here are some shots from my recent trip to Vietnam.
Very interesting and different, but if you're looking for a relaxing holiday - skip it - especially Hanoi.
It is overwhelmingly frenetic and everyone seems to always be rushing off to somewhere.

For this trip it's my usual Hexar with only the humble, but capable VC 35mm/2.5 Color-Skopa.
Films used were a mixture of Provia, Velvia, Ekta and Fuji Pro 200.
I bought the Fuji Pro 200 in Hanoi, it cost about S$3 a roll. I'm glad I didn't bulk-buy it though.
I find it to be low-contrast, flat and far to grainy for ASA200.
It's also a major-pain to scan as it curls so badly that it goes into a roll.

This series is still a work in progress, too many rolls to scan with too little time.
