I am excited to announce that my second roll of film from my Diana F+ got processed and printed and it wasn’t a complete disaster! In fact, 15 out of the 16 exposures came out! They weren’t all perfect, but worlds better than my first roll. The film I used was Lomography Color Negative 120 ISO 400. Here are the photos:
I'm pretty sure this one was a double exposure. I love how it came out.

I believe in all the photos, you can see a slight bit of the photos next to it. It's a recurring theme.

A perfect example of the weird photo cutting.

This is my absolute favorite shot of the whole roll. It's the railroad tracks right next to the graffiti spot we shot at.
There's an awesome spot outside of Quack's Bakery where you can find this mural.
My roommate took this awesome photo INSIDE with no flash. I'm pretty impressed with how it came out, and it was her first time shooting with my Diana. By the way, this is me and Andrew.
I took this photo in broad daylight at the Austin Beer Festival. I think I accidentally put it on "Pinhole" setting which was probably a mistake. Kinda looks cool to me though.
This is Andrew and me and again, and still on that pinhole setting. I let Meghan take the photo and I think it would have turned out better if it wasn't on P. Oops!

I'm not sure what happened here, but it was inside a vintage/antique store. I like the color, but the bottom looks messed up for some reason.
This one actually printed much better than it scanned. Not sure what that thing on the right is.

dont worry, it’ll only keep getting better. i havent used a diana (getting one soon!) but i remember my first couple of rolls on my lomo LC-A which works the same way. actually, the 1st roll came out well, which was surprising. and gave me confidence! the next 3 were crap. but after that, i got the hang of zone focusing, and i get decent or better results now!
keep shooting
Thanks! I’m on my third roll now, almost done with it. It sure is fun seeing the results at the end…and being like “wait..I shot that?”
ah yes, waiting for the results – thats the beauty of film! quite different to seeing ur shot a second after on an LCD isnt it?:D
