So I really want to get into photography, as you may know I model as a hobby but i'd really like to learn film photography. This has recently become more of a obsession when I read this article in Company magazine.
'Ladies who Lens' is about three women who photograph using film camera's and they have inspired me more and more to go for it. I love Company magazine, so I am so glad they had this article to help me out.
I have recently been experimenting with the settings on my Samsung camera and also editing some of my photo's. Here's a few images....
As you may be able to tell I am really into the whole Retro, 60's and Vintage style of photography.
I have been eyeing up these camera's and unsure what to get at the moment but I love the style of each camera......
Fisheye No2 Pink Edition
Diana Mini White
Diana F+ Chrome
Do any of you girlies use a film camera or have any tips for buying/using one?

I'm my experience, those cameras are more fun than.. 'serious'?
I take photography as part of my Architecture degree (one of my tutors is an Architectural Photographer) she recommended the Nikon F2 SLR. It's pricey & I'll get one when I'm really interested.
Tbh, if you want to start off small & just experiment without making a huge commitment I'd say get a disposable film camera, see if you like what you take. Developing costs a lot, if anything, just take pics first with a regular digital camera/read a book about photography & see if you want to move to film!
Lovely pics! Thanks for your comments on my post about which camera to get, think I'm going to get the Canon :) xx
Thanks for the comments girls, i think im def going to go for it. It is for fun and will be a hobby and these camera's aren't too expensive so why not :o)
Ahhhh LOMOGRAPHY CAMERAS ARE AMAZING.
I have the Mini Diana and its amazing.
I would suggest the Diana F+ as the Mini Diana is essentially the smaller version of it..there's no difference.
@H Lomography cameras are used as serious cameras and have been used by many established photographers.
A lot of people tend to replicate the "lomo effect" on photoshop but if you can get the original camera as shown above, it would be a bonus!
And it costs under a fiver to process if you go to the right stores "tesco / Jessops"
Make sure the camera you buy has a big lens! The bigger the lens, the more light it brings into the picture! Great blog! I love the pink fish eye camera! Come visit me at www.HalleAnderson.com
@ Stephanie - I said 'in my experience' Lomo cameras are more fun than serious. That's because I have a White Diana F+ Edelweiss, & I find the vignetted effect fun. I'm comparing my experience to my Sony DSLR A700, which I'd class as a serious camera because the aim is not to have a fun effect.
& £5 per time adds up if you like to take a lot of pictures, especially as you have to buy film before you can get film developed. Each time can cost from £8-£30 (from the roll to end result) depending on the type of film you use & if you develop B&W.
