Spidersnaps: Oh, wow... sports
Jun. 19th, 2023 10:30 pmThis was my 2nd roll of Fomapan 400, but first to be bought from a physical store as opposed to online, this one for THB200 (about USD6), and I decided to try this one with my Kodak H35, devoting plenty of it to my university's personnel sports festival, as mentioned at the end of Vision 200D roll...
As mentioned last time, it's "black-and-white negative film designed for taking photographs under unfavourable light conditions or using short exposure times", but it seems like one of the conditions that this film doesn't do well, at least with this camera, is wide indoor spaces, as you'll see quite a few underexposed shots of indoor sports action (and these are even with flash)

Camera and film picture, at the university stadium



Athletics action at the uni personnel sports festival at the stadium

A stop at the Metro Art subway station on my way to devving my previous roll

Early morning photo from a skywalk near my house

Promotional poster for a Flashback Y2K summer campaign at my local mall... featuring a TLR and an old folder-camera, for whatever reason :-)

Street food festival

Shot of the uni football/track stadium from a nearby sports facility

Volleyball practice at the aforementioned sports facility

Black cat in the sports facility stairwell

Shot of the subway station escalator near the uni, looking very unexposed even with flash

Pigeons lounging out at another pond at uni

Flare-affected shot across the uni rugby field to the royal statues

Uni walking event

Crow in a tree

More volleyball practice

Shot of Samyan Mitrtown, all the way from the faculty I studied at back in the day

Election campaign truck

Very underexposed ping-pong action

Late afternoon aerobics

Underexposed chairball practice

Nice contrast on this shot of a bush illuminated by a single sunbeam

Pier shot

Kitty near my house

Rope jumping contest, again underexposed in spite of flash

Election polling tent


Start of a swimming race (plus 100% crop)


Special chairball game played with a mega-sized ball, and cheer section contest at the closing ceremonies of the uni personnel sports festival, again suffering from underexposure

Steeplechase pool at the stadium

Flags at the stadium, viewed through a fence



Fashion show at the local mall, again underexposed despite flash (with the model only barely in frame in the last one due to off-center viewfinder)

Bird on a lamppost


Soccer action at the Chang U-Champion Cup (halftime practice for the first picture, goal from the actual game in the second)

Wedding scene

Lizard at a pond

Cooking demonstration at a food festival by Lemon Farm, an organic foods store (and look at those scratches at the center and on the far right :-O)

Ending the roll with a mini-concert on the first day of Pride Month
