Focal Points
All tagged Canon
Having the opportunity to pay homage to the 1980’s F-15E Strike Eagle by capturing its spirit with the Canon AE-1, a camera almost as “young” as it, contrasts most capabilities a typical DLSR user has. Portra 400 gives you only 36 attempts to get it right, which is opposite to the endless chances a DSLR has to create an image.
On this episode of Focal Collective we FAILED and over-exposed a roll of Provia 100f on the Canon A1 while backpacking around Banff, Alberta. This video gives a behind the scenes look at the photos taken with this camera and what the overexposed shots look like. The Canon A1 is a great 35mm film camera for beginners, though slide film still proves challenging to properly expose the highlights utilizing the camera's built-in light meter.
