\u00fcberlin Does Croatia: Geeking Out on Analogue Photography<\/h3>\n

\"Croatian<\/p>\n

Just picked up the prints from our summer holiday in Vis, an island a few hours from Split, Croatia. The reason it\u2019s taken so long to get the photos is that I STUPIDLY left the film back in our apartment!? Yup, I\u2019m a massive idiot. Thankfully my guardian angel\/Airbnb host Ratko found the film and posted it to me \u2013 but it took two months to get here. I\u2019d almost given up hope and then it arrived in the mail last week ????<\/p>\n

Usually I\u2019d take my digital camera while travelling and I\u2019d have all the photos on my laptop, backed up after each day \u2013 this was my first holiday ONLY shooting analogue. Why? Because, for a change, I decided to leave the bulky cameras and multiple lenses and just travel really light. When I\u2019m not working, I want to have a complete break from carrying heavy equipment, changing lenses, charging batteries and the post-hols photo editing.<\/p>\n

The beauty of film cameras is that they simplify your decisions, leaving you to simply enjoy the moment of taking the photo. You really have to slow down when you shoot analogue, and you truly consider every photo. You remember that you have a limited number of shots and concentrate on really nailing that exposure. So many times I\u2019ve composed an image with my analogue camera, only to decide it just wasn\u2019t worth wasting a shot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This way of thinking really helps photographers. Taking hundreds of photos with a digital camera may be easier, but it doesn\u2019t help you understand what makes a good photo. Anyone can blast out 1,000 shots and get one killer image. You know you\u2019re a great photographer when EVERY shot is a killer image.<\/p>\n

Anyway, enough photo geekery\u2026 we had such an amazing time in Croatia and would recommend the island of Vis (thank you Ed and Sarah for the amazing tip!) and our beautiful villa in a heartbeat. We want to be there right now!<\/p>\n

All photos shot with Olympus OM-2, 35mm lens and Kodak Portra 400 film.<\/em><\/p>\n
