In SoCal, it's easier to shoot a unicorn than storm clouds...

I vote Ektar.

Let me start by saying that I never delete a photo.  Overexposed, underexposed, out of focus... makes no difference.  Disk space is cheap and getting cheaper.  Software is getting better and ...

When I wanted to see if I could successfully tether my Fuji, I bought a cheap 6ft cable from Amazon that had a connector to fit my laptop on one end and a connector to fit the Fuji on the other.  ...

I watched that video.  It almost makes the price of film understandable.

That was my first thought.  I shoot both 35 and 120m, though, and anything less than 4" in diameter won't work for 120 (unless you have very steady hands).  A length of 4" PVC long enough to ...

I had some time today, so I dumped some trash, rearranged some boxes, and set up my Ilford pop up darkroom.  It's way too hot during the day to use, but once my ventilation fan arrives, it should ...

After cutting and placing in PrintFile pages, the negs sat under a book overnight.  Took the curl out well enough to scan.  Overall, I'm pretty happy.

I've taken film on my last two plane trips.  For 35mm, I put it into clear cannisters so the TSA agent can see what is inside.  I didn't have enough of them on my last trip, so some rolls went ...

After determining that there really is no good place in my house to hang negatives to dry, I decided to build a film drying device.  Looked around on the internet and found a few designs that ...

Darkness :)

I'm reminded of this every time I shoot with my 4x5 pinhole camera or my Canon 300D with the drilled body cap.

I do. The shower is where I'm drying my film now.  I could turn on the water to steam things up a bit before hanging my film, but we're under some pretty serious water restrictions in Southern ...

Thanks for the responses,  I've given my negs a closer look, and it's obvious that there is dirt embedded in the emulsion.  Clearly, my drying environment is not dust free...  Too bad I can't just ...

I used to have a home darkroom, in which I created lots and lots of prints up to 16x20.  It was built from particle board as a free-standing unit inside my garage.  Needless to say, it was not the ...

Thank you, Ulrik!

Shot in the Cleveland Botanical Garden in May, 2022.  Canon AE-1, Canon FD 50mm f1.4, processed in HC-110. Nikon 5000ED scanner.

Took a studio lighting class during lockdown.  The school had enough equipment to loan two Profoto strobes, umbrellas, softboxes, and seamless to everyone in the class so we could set up a studio ...

So here is my take.  Shooting film is hard!  Unless you find a camera with a decent autofocus system, you will be relying on your eyes to focus.  That's been the biggest challenge for me. I have a ...
