FILM PHOTOGRAPHY / DARKROOM TIP AND TRICKS THREAD

pretty much iford or kodak D 76 developers. What ever they stocked at the time in my schools darkroom. It's been a while since I've gotten my hands on a tank and some reels.

 

I been using ifordtech

 

When I was more actively shooting concerts, i updated my site often http://www.falldownhard.com/ Now it's mostly just a film dump when I do process some stuffs. a Majority of my work on this site is film. Maybe one ot two sections were shot on digital.

 

Those concerts shots are amazing too be low light

 

love pushing film. Kodak tri-x is a 400 speed film but does amazing at 1600 iso. Also love the harsh lighting of crappy flash.

 

I haven’t tried pushing film yet but it is next on my list.

 

Good Morning film shooters

 

I started out with an inherited Pentax ME from my late father, and acquired a K1000 from a supportive teacher in high school who saw potential in me.
Had an application approved for photography school first year out of high school and started shooting with a Pentax K10D. Was just about to pay the tuition and start my life as a photographer when my car was broken into in downtown winnipeg, they took my K10D+Lenses..

The thought of taking pictures was insulting enough to me after that, that it's now be well over a decade and I'm only just starting to shoot again. Had some friends give me a Nikon 3200 that has been responsible for half my shots here, but my time in photo-shops is inspiring me to get out and shoot film on the Pentax ME while there are still labs that can develop films at all..

I still have 4 or 5 rolls of undeveloped B&W/color film that could be fun to get processed, but also maybe not.

Film teaches a lot about composition and lighting and the rest, I think a person should spend time shooting without a light meter just to force the brain to figure out and at least consider film speed, f-stops, and shutter speed.

I always loved low light, long exposure shots. My jam was always going out at 3 in the morning with a tripod and remote and scavenging unsuspecting light sources, and painting strange features in the background of a landscape.

Life is busy now, but I should really make a little film one of my personal priorities. If I do, I'll be sure to share my experience here, Good Thread Idea!

 

Dang, that is rough! Hope you find the motivation to get back into it. I live in a beach community and used to hang out late till last call most nights photographing the bar goers and other shenanigans, the night is a wonderful time for photography. I have the day off today and my lady is working so I may walk around and try and kill the rest of a roll in my leica.

 

I hope that you do find the inspiration to start shooting film. It sucks that someone broke into your car and stole all that gear I can't stand a thief.and or would be awesome to get those old rolls of film developed just to see what was on them.

 

I just finished my roll yesterday and I'll probably develop it tomorrow or Thursday.

 

I've thought about shooting some film but nothing has come of it yet.

 

Hello everyone

 

Got a little bit of color and a little bit of black and white coming soon.

 

I'm working on B&W now

 

This is a photo of a negative I just developed converted because I don't have a scanner yey

 

Hello everyone

 

Hello

 

I’ve gone through a few film cameras in the last few years: Leica R3, Pentax k1000, Canon AE1. I sold all those and only shoot film with a Canon QL17. The thing is tiny and the lens is absolutely superb. Plus the small size means I can get 39 shots from a 36 roll.

 

Wow! What great images
