Yay, film photos. More, please!.

And then the total opposite. It's a total photoshop mess, and it had been sitting on my hard disk for more than half a year.

Sure, I've got a few more frames that weren't total shit ;)

You remember how when you just got your camera, start playing with settings, go shoot cars on a track, trying to caption the motion with slow shutter? Trace the car with the viewfinder, hit the trigger, glance at the screen, delete, repeat... until you get the hang of it, and find the balance between shutter speed and amount of blur so the subject is sharp? Then imagine my delight when I take just a few shots (only 36 frames, must conserve), then wait several months or even years, as in the case of this last film, before I can see if the car was reasonably sharp? :D

Was looking through old photos, found this. Looking at it, it makes complete sense why I never posted it anywhere, but still - it was a cool moment of serendipity given how I completely forgot it (and a lot of other photos) existed. I need to start organising my random travel snapshots for the nostalgia. Also, I need to start taking new photos again.

Somethign a bit more abstract today. I considered posting the unedited negative first, because it looks so trippy, but I like this too.

The blue-eared kingfisher (Alcedo meninting) is found in Asia, ranging across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is found mainly in dense shaded forests where it hunts in small streams. It is darker crowned, with darker rufous underparts and lacking the rufous ear stripe of the common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) which is found in more open habitats. A number of subspecies have been described that differ in measurement and colour shade. Adult males have an all dark bill while females have a reddish lower mandible.

This 16 centimetres (6.3 in) long kingfisher is almost identical to the common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) but is distinguished by the blue ear coverts, darker and more intense cobalt-blue upperparts with richer rufous under parts. The juvenile blue-eared kingfisher has rufous ear-coverts as in the common kingfisher but it usually shows some mottling on the throat and upper breast which disappears when the bird reaches adulthood. Young birds have a reddish bill with whitish tips.
