Finally Mako shots!

Result! I had the first roll of film I shot with the Mako machine developed and printed. I just couldn't bare to wait till I get a scanner to see what kinda results the Mako produces. I got to see the negatives last week, so I already knew were some images on there. Tonight after work I finally got to pick up the printed results.

And the machine works! There are some pretty decent shots on the roll. But off-course some have motion blur due to me trying not to sink and taking pictures at the same time. And I was a bit far from the subject a few times. Well it was the first time shooting with the camera, so all part of the learning curve.

I let the owner of my local photography shop convince me to use some weird Kodak c41 black and white film and I wasn't really feeling the look of the film. Its a black and white film which they develop as a colour film, it reduces the cost of developing and printing a bit in his shop, but the pictures come out in a sort of blue sepia-like tone-scale. Off-course me taking pics of the prints with my 300d under artificial light and then trying to fix that with my dodgy photoshop skills doesn't help :-D

I am so glad I decided to buy this camera. I can't wait to get back in the water with it!
