I jumped at the chance to experiment with Portrait 400 film, a highly sought-after choice among film photography enthusiasts, using my trusty point-and-shoot camera. During my shoot, I focused on composing my shots instead of obsessing over overexposure, since I wasn't traveling at the time. I took a leisurely stroll around my neighborhood, capturing snapshots of some of my favorite subjects, such as elderly individuals, abandoned shopping carts, empty chairs, and anything that looked out of place.
Despite having used this camera for a few months, I've repeatedly encountered one issue: accidentally switching on the panorama mode. It took me two rolls of Portra 400 film to realize that I had been using the panorama setting all along, which was disheartening due to the high cost of film these days. Nonetheless, I adore how lightweight this camera is.
Writing blogs is not my forte, so please bear with me if this post reads more like a photo journal. However, I've included two photos of myself at the end of this post. As I'm notoriously camera-shy, I'm rather pleased with how these two images turned out.
