My Trip 35: Second roll with my Trip

Olympus Trip 35 Diary

My first roll of the Olympus Trip 35 surprise me!.. I never thought the trip could produce such a good picture, not too bad for a 50 year old camera! This camera is really LEGEND---Olympus camera Zuiko lens---DARY!!!!... It really helps me going back to where my passion of photography coming from, P&S and just shooting for fun. I admit DSLR quality is superb, really sharp low noise high speed and bokehlicious, but I miss one little thing from all that, the joyful moment and having to take photo of people just for fun. That's where the Trip shine!!!, I don't need the bulky large noisy clunking shutter of DSLR to take photo of people, just by using simple camera like Trip or even with mobile phone is more than I ever need!!!

After my first roll of film, I'm craving for more shot using the Trip. I'm pretty sure I got the diagnosis of addiction shooting-with-film!. Haha, but for real film really cost a lot ($5 per roll of film and another $10 for film developing). Haish, its seems like I have to learn develop film myself. Well, at the moment, just keep shooting until my trip no longer useable...., wait?! have I mention that olympus trip can't die!! its manual+fully automatic camera without battery and only use sunlight to power the metering system! 1-0 score against DSLR.
Enjoy the rest of it!!

My Trip 35: The first Trip!

Olympus Trip 35

Since I was a little kid, I always have the interest in photography, especially in film photography. the value of arts in film photography always amaze me. Film photography comes in different type and medium such as in color, medium format, slide film and also Black and White film. The most impressive for me is the black and white film, because this film can only record two color, the black and white (also graded level of grey as to represents contrast and clarity) in great details, and shows the image in a very nostalgic and interesting story. Therefore, I decided to try out myself in film photography. To achieve my intention, I tried to find an old film camera that still works well.

This is where I found the Olympus Trip 35, a cult legend camera popularise by David Bailey. He is a very prominent fashion photographer in the 60s and 70s. His pictures were always displayed in the front-page of The Vogue magazine in London. Besides him, an Australian photographer, Sean Fennessy, also has a hobby of collecting Olympus Trip 35 camera wherever he traveled. His Olympus Trip 35 camera collection almost close to hundreds of sets. This is what makes me interested to try film photography using Olympus Trip 35. Here are my first roll taken from my Trip!
