Day 3 of the photo challenge and figuring out some unknowns

I'm on Day 3 of the photo challenge! It's very exciting that I'm actually keeping up with it. I never keep up with anything of this sort. Anyway, Day 3's photo subject is clouds. I actually took quite a few photos that I really liked. Most of those were of the sun, though. Sunflares come later, but now I know how to achieve them, which is very exciting for me. Anyway, this is my favorite cloud photo that I took.


I know I've mentioned my film camera in nearly every post, but I learn something new about it every day. I think I finally discovered why my photos were turning out blurry. I didn't realize I had to set the film speed to match the speed of the film. I had it set at 1600 when I was using 200 speed film. I feel like that miiiiiiiight cause a problem. Maybe I'm totally wrong and it's just a piece of shit. Whatever. I'll go buy more film and I guess we'll find out! I, of course, will keep everyone posted about my adventures with the Devil Camera.

Some unknowns regarding the next few weeks will be answered tomorrow! The biggest one being a phone call from my land lord, who will hopefully tell me that Breanne (my roommate and good friend) and I can move in to our house this week/coming weekend before we both leave on trips to somewhere nicer than Arizona! If it doesn't work out that way, I will cry and hate my life. So there's that.


I return to the Dirtiest of T's on Tuesday and then it's off to the land of my birth, New Hampshire, on Sunday! These are very exciting things. I will be spending almost all of tomorrow packing the rest of my stuff. I will, of course, make time to take some photos and post them here. And if something else happens with my camera, I'll tell you about! See you next time on, Snail's blog. This is NPR. [Not really, I wish. Sorry if you don't listen to Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me and were left out of that reference. (Listen to Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me. It's hilarious and informative!)] (Unsolicited indorsement. I wish they would solicit me to endorse their show).

Good night!
