Take a stand - Bulk up

From My Lens May 3, 2022

March 2022 provided an update for a couple of bits in my photography stable, which were long overdue.

Namely my new approach to sourcing colour film and how I develop it. Also my new process for scanning all my film.

I thought I would write this blog post, as I am sure there are a couple of take aways for other film photographers, or points to consider.

35mm is a gateway drug

From My Lens December 15, 2021

Its been nearly 6 years since the film bug bit me.

Originally I was recommended to get into film, to stop at the time, the incessant tinkering with my digital images (read polishing a turd) and concentrate of the process of taking a photo.

I must say, its one of the best pieces of advice I have received.

Not to put it lightly, the learning curve for film, getting your head around using manual controls, the exposure triangle, developing and scanning film at home, is a steep one. But thoroughly enjoyable, nonetheless.

Delayed post of August 2025 #Modweekender2025.  Having to wait that little longer for the film lab to develop my film.

Selection of Kodak Gold on #35mm and #120.
Had a bit of a change around in my camera inventory.  I sold my #Chamonix45n2 4x5 large format gear.  Whilst I loved that camera, it was too clunky for my type of photography.

Lovely Margate. 

This set for me is the night and day difference between home and printlab developing.

The film was 18mths expired, but @agphotographic_photolab did a stellar job.
