diana mini black and white test.

yesterday I have spent the whole afternoon in my darkroom: I have developed the first roll taken with my new diana mini. I have printed 12 photographs out of 36 - the rest was mostly underexposed: the flash isn't as strong as I was expecting and a 400 iso film wasn't enough for the dark winter.

✻ I have chosen 6 prints to share here:

1) the snowy forest in Vuosaari - on saturday we went to visit our dear friend Kasia: we had a great time.
2) Kasia with her Horizon camera - the best panoramic camera ever.
3) a portrait of Jacopo - outside the beautiful cafe' Villa Ullas.
4) a portrait of Kasia.
5) an evening portrait of Jacopo - with falling snow in Kruununhaka.
6) a portrait of Tove.
overall I am pretty happy with these prints: I think they hold a proper diana mini feeling. next I am going to take a colour film test with a 800 iso instead.

    i had my share of love and disappointment with lomo cameras. my diana didn't meet my expectations since most of the films got ruined (mostly underexposed, and specially with 120mm film) but the photos that came true were beautiful...

    these are beautiful, specially the first two portraits :)

    p.s. - i'm glad you liked noiserv. if you'd like me to, i'll share some other music names :)

      thank you Joana :-)
      I hope I will have more good results with my diana mini: it's really light to take around and therefore very practical.

      and I would love you to share more music tips with me!
