Christmas Baguio/Rosario trip 2011 in film

Please click on the photos for a better view of the pictures(apparently you have to be on my page first if you’re viewing this from the dashboard). Tumblr makes the photos slightly blurier so please do click on them if you want to see better quality. :)

shot with a Ricoh Singlex TLS using Kodak Colorplus 200 film

In Baguio

Christmas lunch at the Baguio Country Club with some cousins (we had a 24th of December lunch with the rest of the mother side relatives at my lola’s house down in Rosario, La Union). 

Eggnog and champagne. Mhmm.

Feet shots are so common but I love taking them!

My favorite cousin. He’s big, funny and rides a Vespa.

Batirol chocolate + Baguio weather = most relaxed I’ve been this break

Attack of the mustache.

There’s a cross placed on Kennon road in memory of a bus full of children that lost its brakes and tragically fell off the steep cliff years ago.

In Rosario

I’m excited to share my photos from my Baguio trip last weekend! My shots from my Kodak Colorplus 200 roll (cheapass film) turned out surprisingly well!
Please click the picture! Tumblr makes it sort of blurry for some reason :(

Nikon FG-20 crappy test roll

Kodak 200 colorplus film. Such a cheap, crappy film. Luckily there are a few shots that I like from the roll so here they are.

Focusing isn’t as easy as using my Ricoh because the viewfinder is pretty dark and dirty. I still have to find a reliable film camera repair shop to have it cleaned. Do you guys have any recommendations? :)

Photo below was shot by Pam. I look so asian!

She recently dyed her hair blue/green-ish but it can’t be seen in the photo because it was a cloudy day and the light wasn’t very pretty.

Flash at auto-mode. Shutter was pretty slow but turned out alright anyway. Check out Pam’s hair! :o

I made such a stupid mistake of setting the shutter speed at 1/500? It was way too fast for the flash so some of my shots were ruined by those black things.

Happy birthday, Paaam! :D Spontaneous sleepover because we didn’t get to go to the spa yesterday :( I wanted to sweat out my weight pa naman in the saunas. Haha! 

The morning after.
