A Place Near The City

I finally got around to scanning some of my recent photos from my Diana Mini! I'm definitely seeing some improvement, as well as more areas to grow in. That said, I really love these recent shots. Enjoy!

I finished up my 2nd roll of film from my Diana Mini over the weekend and got them developed! I'm definitely getting better, but I still need to work on:

1. Advancing the roll so there's less overlap

2. Steadying my hand when I take the photo

If any of you camera/photo peeps have any advice on how many clicks are necessary for the least amount of overlap between half-frames let me know. I think with the next roll of film I'm going to try just shooting square frames. We'll see if those come out any better.

Anyway, here are my latest photos!
