Ойын-сауық
i challenge myself to shoot portraits of some friends on film with my trusty pentax 6x7, a few rolls of film, and almost no light to spare.

in addition to challenging myself to shooting with so little time...i also shot half the video on my own (shoutout steve for filming the first shoot!) and blasted super 8 footage the whole time. exhausting couple of shoots but...WORTH IT! ily

Can you do a video with lomography 800 like this
The blue hour portion of this video reminded me of the blue hues you see when visiting an aquarium. It would be neat to see portraits taken in that kind of environment!

TRUE! might have to pull up
that blue hour, plus blue water, & blue cinestill really produced some heavy blue background!

Really inspiring video. A real reminder to not get in my head and make something bigger than it needs to be, nor to find reasons not to do something. Just shoot the dang thing! As others mentioned, really like that little colored LED set up, better than carrying around gels. You killed those photos, and no don't discount your choice of models and locations.

Does the Pentax have an internal light meter or are you metering beforehand with a light meter? I still struggle with that and so in awe how these all come out with little light!
Nice photos. Anyway what lens was on that camera? Cheers.
