35mm photography

To alleviate the frustration of developing my practice in pinhole photography and with the Diana F+, I shot a roll of 35mm film with the EOS3 riding home from work along the Merri Creek Trail through Thomastown and the Upfield Shared Path through Coburg and Brunswick. Frankly, I needed a reminder that I do know how to use a film camera and take a photograph and get loose myself in developing 35mm negatives.
