i dun think i'm gonna use the coloursplash cam that's for loan to the 1st 50. ;p it's probably more suited for like indoors and in clubs when ure having fun with friends.

 

[lurgee]

i really like shot number 2..

 

[sgdavid]

just wind it till it ends and wahhhlahhh~~

Thanks Bumortic.

Your film will be all around the reel on the right hand side right?
Are you supposed to remove the film from the reel?

Then how do you load the new roll of film? :sweat:

Thanks

 

[sgdavid]

yah..just wind all the way til it ends..on certain types of film you can see the word "exposed" from the film itself on the counter behind and some films is just thick black lines..once you wind til you cant see any more film..then it's time to remove the back of the cam and take the film out. make sure you take out the film firmly so as to not let it get exposed! err..basically the film shd be quite tight when you remove it.

haha..hope you're able to understand what i just said. ;p

Thanks lurgee....my questions are the same for you as for bumortic :sweatsm:

jus got back from objectifs..they told me so long as 35mm they will process it so i mentioned the 35mm holga and they said shouldn't be a problem. we can't shoot medium format cos it will take longer to process and they wanna show the photos of the participants during the party.

so guys..no medium format.

Hey bumortic and lurgee...

Thanks for your help...I didn't know the reel is the same reel that comes with the film. Thats why the confusion!

Anyway, the film is safely out...Thanks Guys!!!

Lurgee, I like the 3rd Pic....Simply Awesome!!!
