I just started experimenting with film photography and this is something I´ve come up with ....
I like the old feel of that b&wgrainyoutooffocus feel of it, but what do you guys think?

I think you nailed it. The 'b&wgrainyoutooffocus' feel as you put it sets the mood for the image.

| The photo is great, but the typography could use greater integration or differentiation from the image, imo. |

Great image! It reals has an "old" feel to it. What camera / film did you use?
I shot my first roll of medium format film with a Yaschia 124G twin lens reflex (TLR) on Tuesday, and a roll with my Lubitl 166B TLR the next day at lunch time. I dropped them off for developing yesterday and will pick them up tonight.
I should get my HOlga in a day or two. Woot.
I shot in color because that's all they process locally, but I will be shooting in Black and white and developing the negatives myself - the chemicals and junk should get here in a day or two. Good times, good times.

Just for a reference, I found a good free site to get some really funky fonts: www.dafont.com
Edit to add I like the grainy/out of focus effect too

I got my processed rolls (2) of 120 medium format film last night. I was expecting a train wreck, since I was only taking quick pics to make sure the shutter speeds were working correctly on the 2 (20-30 year old) cams I got on ebay.
The last pic in the gallery is an unintentional double exposure. If you don't advance the film, the camera won't tell you :P

The problem with displaying medium format on a monitor is that you cannot really see the quality you captured plus while taking the pictures you are limited by the optics of the cameras you have.

| To meter, are you using a separate light meter or another camera? Even if it was accidental, I enjoy the double exposure. |

The Yashica Mat 124G has a meter that matches what I get with my 20D ... woohoo. The Lubitel does not have a meter ... I just used the sunny F16 rule.
I did order a $20 old cheapie meter from ebay which should get here soon enough. Both cameras have f3.5 to F22 and 1sec to 1/500sec for the Yashica, and 1/250sec for the Lubitel. Pretty flexible in that way.
