5 Reasons to shoot film

Yeah, I know, quit with the “X reasons to shoot Y” already, but here’s the thing, people are still interested in this stuff, and none of these types of posts are really trying to make you give up what you’re doing and completely rethink your photography life choices. They’re simply to give you more information, […]

A crash course in developing colour negative film at home

Lots of us still shoot and develop our own film, but many limit themselves to black and white, at least when it comes to DIY developing. C41 colour film is perceived as a complex process that requires an expensive Jobo or other specialised equipment. Well, Michael Raso and John Fedele from the Film Photography Project are […]

Take a look inside Ansel Adams’ amazing Darkroom

The room in which Ansel Adams created many of his works has to be the absolute ultimate DIY darkroom.  Back then, many things had to be made yourself, as commercially available tools for most of what Ansel wanted or needed to do simply did not exist.

I love digital analogue hybrid processes in photography, I find them absolutely fascinating, and this video from photographer Nick Carver helps to show why. There is, of course, another message in this video. If you like your images, print them. Print them big and show them off. I couldn’t agree more. I still shoot both film […]

45 Frames of Polaroid 4×5 Film at the Indy 500

I make my living photographing things and people that move. I do that  with a Nikon camera in my hands. Currently my D810 and D5 bodies take 95% of those frames. I am very OCD when it comes to details of the scene, the lighting and how my subject fits within that rectangle. However, for […]

PSEUDO Film Canister plans to succeed where others failed, bringing digital sensors to 35mm bodies

I’d love nothing more than to be able to slap a digital sensor into my old mechanical film bodies and wander off doing some street photography.  So, I’m trying really really hard to get excited about this one, but the lessons of the past have taught us to not get our hopes up. The PSEUDO Film […]
