The analogue photography blogger grumpykepix from UK was so kind to send me one of his FED cameras without any complications or promises. On his expenses..
After I received the package (August 2013) we exchanged several emails, in which he was so kind to explain me about the features and characteristics of the camera. I remember he told me one of the setting didn’t work properly.
…What a shame my email address got hijacked…
..but life goes on, so did my analogue adventures. When I got used to its presence among its brothers and sisters on my shelf I decided to load that pretty boy with another film.
What a shame I ruined it…
The frustration of the first attempt lasted for some time. After the emotions calmed down I decided to try again.
What a shame it took me a year to finish that film…
Then I figured I should treat my new FED better. I loaded him with one of my favorite films – Lomography X-Pro…
Then I took him for a walk in the newest and coolest campus of any Business school in Europe on that hot early-summer day..
Then we went to a picknick at the Danube river…I even showed him to my friends..
We were all curious, we all had hopes..…What a shame I the photos have turned into psychedelic-colored half-enlightened photo-alike images.
I guess I found out about that non properly working setting grumpykepix meant in his email – it was the f/16 aperture setting…
Camera FED 3 | Film Lomography X-PRO ISO 200 | WU Campus | Danube river

He is definitely a great guy:) Hah, there is always fun but then I get such results and I am going crazy. With analogue it’s better not to have any expectations and to be happy when sth nice comes up :D
