Mr. Pink and a Fish

Mr. Pink arrived at my doorstep today! I was so excited to rip open that package. They accidentally left out my ringflash, but I called and they said they would send it out today so I should get it next Monday or Tuesday. The camera is *so* cute! And so lightweight, of course because it's all plastic. But I also ordered the 35mm back to go with it, which that comes with different sizes brackets for a number of options on what kind of photos to take! And it also came with colored gels for the electronic flash. I already took a roll of film with it earlier while there was still some sunlight out, though it was mostly overcast cause a storm is rolling in. But there were some great clouds, so I hope the roll isn't a complete waste. ( I remember the first few times I shot with a 35mm manual I had no idea what the settings meant and my first few rolls were a total waste haha)
I was in the digital photo lab earlier and it took me about 3 hours to print. 

I printed this one out at 14x32in



I printed out smaller versions too, but I made the big one for fun just to see what the effect would be. I've never really worked in such a large scale, my previous photos have just centered around 8x10in or 11x14in. Now it depends on what each teacher says works better (I'm doing this project for two classes).

This one composition took I think about 5 separate images. I can probably get the same effect with fewer images, but I just did it quickly last night. There's still some seams I need to fix, but it's what I have for now until it goes through critique next week.










I can't wait to get the roll developed that I shot with my Diana! Yayyyyyyy!!
