Obligatory post for 2011.
In the last year or so I've grown bored of my Nikon D90 and did very little serious photography. A cheap, low-fi film camera was just what I needed to rejuvenate a passion for photography. This is from my first roll of film shot with a 20-something-year-old Olympus XA2 I just picked up for $10. This photo could be seen as a metaphor for replacing the glossy, modern look of pictures from a digital SLR with an older film-based medium that grows more extinct by the day.
I took this on a tripod by simply setting the XA2 to infinity (one of three focus settings) and letting the camera choose an automatic exposure. I did minimal editing in GIMP, leaving the color, contrast, levels, and composition alone and removing film artifacts and some graffiti and distracting elements on either side of the sidewalk.
Although I haven't been posting much lately, you can expect more posts from the XA2 in 2012!
