encountering the la sardina, part 10 | the end

So, the time has come for the Loblography Singapore competition to end. It's a little sad because it's been really fun getting to know the La Sardina and the bloggers who were participating in it. I hope we will continue to keep in touch and read each other's blogs. Big congratulations to Sasha who got to keep the La Sardina, I think you thoroughly deserved it with your awesome post!

Now, the last thing left for me to do is to draw the 10 lucky winners who will each receive 10 piggy points! All together, a total of 25 people commented and I ran the numbers through random.org for the winners.

Congratulations to:

Rhianne
Euphemia
Camy
Mei Ling
Jessie Sie
Boobert
Jasmine
Elyna Lee
Matthew Chen
Niki Torres

I will need you to email or comment on this post your Lomohome address by this Thursday, 20 October so that Lomography will be able to award you the points. Have a great time shopping at Lomography with this extra cash! :)

encountering the la sardina, part 9 | reflections

i was tempted to add in the lyrics of the songs 'reflections' but i thought it was too corny. i have been enamoured with reflections in the water lately. there's something really peaceful about a still body of water, and i am just itching to dip a finger in to create a ripple! i am also really proud of myself for managing the double exposure pseudo reflection shot, there are so many inspiring shots of this technique online and i am glad i managed quite a nice one.

encountering the la sardina, part 8 | hello, it's me.

some playing around late at night with the fritz the blitz flash and my own face. this was the only presentable shot. notice my left eye have been hit photographically with a cylinder. wham!

encountering the la sardina, part 7 | accidental double exposures

there's a story behind this roll of film. my estate has recently become cycling-mad. you can't walk for five paces without coming across someone on a bicycle or a bicycle being chained up. the ways that the bicycles were being parked fascinated me and i wanted to devote good portion of film to exploring angles. i happily snapped around for a few days when disaster struck, the shutter was stuck! because i had about 10 frames left to shoot, i decided to rewind the film and reload it again. i wound it to about 5 frames before the frame that the shutter got stuck to experiment with some black and white double exposures and i think they turned out really cool! i should probably do this more often so that i don't get the chance to overthink making a multi-exposure.

encountering the la sardina, part 6 | black & white

when i took on the challenge of shooting with a la sardina for three weeks, i knew that one of the things i had to do was to put the camera through all sorts of film to see how it held up, colour negatives, cross-processed and black & white. as you can see, i am happy to report that the combination of the la sardina and black & white film is a match made in photography heaven! when i opened up my file containing the digital prints, my jaw literally dropped at the first image. SO GORGEOUS! i have so many more photographs to share from this roll, i hope i can do it all before the 16th when this competition ends!

oh, and HAPPY FRIDAY! :)
