irish countryside on 120mm film
WHEN: August 2023
WHERE: Ireland
CAMERA: Bronica + Anscoflex ll
A few months ago, a friend and I headed to the Irish countryside for a small photography experiment. Joshie packed his beautiful 120mm Bronica, and I brought along an Anscoflex II that I had purchased for $10 at a random antique store during one of my trips to the United States.
We were both using Lomography ISO 400 film, and it was a delightful surprise to receive the Anscoflex film back and discover that my cheap camera actually camera worked. Although the photos didn’t turn out perfectly, it was still a fun experience shooting with medium format and I am super excited to do it again and again.
For obvious reasons, the photos taken by Josh with the Bronica turned out the best – we’re talking about a $10 camera versus a $500 camera, and it definitely shows!
Hope you enjoy getting a glimpse of my first attempt at shooting in 120mm film. Please don’t mind the fact that all our portraits feature us taking photos of each other taking photos – that’s just what happens when photography lovers come together.
Love,
Emi
