Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this film stuff, right? I wanted to try something a bit different, something raw, you know? So, I decided to shoot a roll of film, but without any filters. Just straight-up, unfiltered goodness.
I grabbed my old film camera. Started with loading the film, which is always a bit of a pain. Got it in, though.
Then, I just started walking around my neighborhood. No plan, no nothing. Just snapping pics of whatever caught my eye. A weird-looking tree, some graffiti, an old man feeding pigeons. You know, everyday stuff. It felt pretty liberating, not worrying about getting the perfect shot or using the right filter.
- First step: Loaded the film.
- Second: Wandered around, snapping pics.
- Third: Got the film developed.
The developing part was the longest. Had to wait a few days, which felt like forever. But, when I finally got the prints back, it was pretty cool. They were grainy, some were a bit blurry, but they had this, like, authentic vibe to them.
It’s like, with digital, you can edit everything to perfection. But with this unfiltered film, what you see is what you get. It’s kinda like life, you know? Not always pretty, but real.
The Cool Part
The best part was seeing how different things looked without filters. Like, the colors were more muted, but also more… true, in a way. It’s hard to explain. It’s like the photos had more soul or something. And it made me realize how much we rely on filters these days. We’re always trying to make things look better, more polished. But sometimes, the raw, unfiltered version is just as good, if not better.
It was a fun little experiment. Might do it again sometime. Maybe try a different type of film or something. Who knows? But yeah, that’s my unfiltered film story. Nothing too fancy, but it was a good time.
