a tasmanian summer

Hello again! I have lots of time to kill so I shall write a bit about Tasmania and include film pictures I took there. A more detailed post will come after I finish the one about Taiwan!

Approximately 3 days or so after my class trip to Taiwan, I embarked on a trip to Tasmania (and 3 days in Melbourne) with my family and my mom's friend. We started off our adventure in Launceston   –

Lots of people living here grow lavender

Liverpool St. – YNWA

Street art !

That's all the film shots I have HAHA was quite happy with how clear and colourful most of them turned out! Yea and forgot to say this but the vision in my right eye isn't perfect so I have to wear specs whenever I use the film cam otherwise I can't focus it perfectly. It's kinda tedious doing that and interchanging lenses between the film cam and DSLR but the photos make it pretty worth it! And I guess that's the reason for why I don't take a lot of film pictures welp  ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯

Anyway I think I'll be writing the Taiwan post soon since I'm in the mood for writing now ~~~ see y'all bois

taiwan on film

Hello! It has been more than a year since I last wrote here. I know, I can't believe it too. It's surreal to think that the days of wearing a school uniform are now over. Cheers to adulting haha welp

Anyway, mid last year, my JC classmates and I started planning for a trip to Taiwan (actually mostly Val and Ariel lol the rest of us are lazy children) and being the ballers we were, we left on the night of our last paper (which was MCQ ezclap lmao kidding). We agreed that we wouldn't mind missing prom either so we skipped that and came back on 8th December.

I'll write a more detailed post including DSLR pictures and all when I'm not so lazy - so this will have to do for now. I'm pretty happy with how all of the film pictures came out though!

That's it for the film pictures – didn't take a lot because I had the other camera to handle too welp. Took quite a few film shots for Australia though so that'll will probably be my next blog post since I think I'm still too lazy to do a full-fledged recap on Taiwan lmao.

Till next time!
