My first rolls on the Canon A-1 was not what I expected.

This content is so appreciated for when I inevitably get an SLR and take lousy photos on it. We all start somewhere! Also love how you captured Sydney in your H35 vid 😊

Thank you so much :')

Hi! I came from your H35 video (i’ve got one coming tomorrow, and am super excited!) I just want to say, I absolutely love the photo at 1:35, it may be a mistake for you, but it’s beautiful to me. I love the calm aesthetic your videos bring too, thank you :)

I nearly bought myself a Kodak Ektar too until my grandparents gave me a Canon AF35M II, still functional after 40 years 🥹

Omg lucky! My family sold all their cameras 🥲

I am a high school art teacher and my experience is with fully manual student cameras like the Nikon FM10. This is a light weight plastic camera that is easy to carry around and is not too heavy. It is fully manual and forces you to learn quickly. It is a balancing act between the shutter and the aperture. Once you are in focus and the light meter is in a neutral position, you are free to take the shot. I don't know how the metering works on the Canon A1. If you find it difficult, you could try a light meter app on your phone. With film do not go below 1/60 of a second as you have no image stabilisation and will need a tripod to go slower. Also with indoor and low lighting shots you will need a flash or a high ISO film.

Thank you for your tip! I'll keep that in mind for my next roll 😊

Hi what film roll is good for indoors or night setting?? For h35 cam. Planning to you use it for wedding event indoors at night

[@sunflowersyd]

Hello! I am not too sure on this, the highest iso film I shot on is 800 and the indoor shots were passable (video on channel). But I have not shot anything in nighttime! Sorry! 😔
