Going retro on my next cruise B&W

Recommended Posts

I'm considering taking one film camera on my next cruise in Oct. To make it more interesting taking only three rolls of Tri-X film with it. The last three cruises I've taken about 1000 images each then printed about 300 images of each cruise and created an album of each cruise. They are nice but I've taken the film camera on the last 3 cruises and never used it. I think it time to go retro. This also means I need to dust off the old darkroom gear when I get back.

 

:eek: No digital gear.

That's a pretty cool idea.

 

I remember hauling 20-25 rolls of film along on our early cruises and the excitement of getting the packs back from the lab and going through them.... At least until our 25th anniversary cruise when 14 out of 20 rolls came out blank because the shutter mechanism died a stealthy death early into the cruise.

 

The moral: Take a back-up along and shoot with both!

 

Enjoy the trip!
