I'm interested in creating a thread that has any resources on taking photographs in as sustainable way as possible. This can include developers that use alternatives to chemicals; developers that reuse or filter chemicals to prevent toxicity to the environment, companies that use cardbard...

Pentax have finally taken the cover off of their film camera project. Interesting but I am disappointed it's a half frame. View: https://youtu.be/QGzvthi-ZwE?si=mM51t45xjXpwS0ef

The camera: Kentmere 400 developed using Ilford DDX. Shot in Manchester (on a very bright and wet day - yes, they do exist) and Rossendale. At base ASO it is a flat film but improves at 800 and even 3200 from what I've seen posted by others.

3D printing is so clever. Found this design on a website called Printables. It hold 3 35mm rolls.

Hi, casual film photographer over here. I forgot to change my ASA for my camera (canon AE-1) from 400 to 100 for the whole roll. Is there any way to save the photos when I get them developed, what should I ask for? These photos are very important to me so any help that would have them turn out...

I’m looking for an archive system for my fathers old negatives. They are a mix of 6x6 and 6x9 negatives that have been cut into individual images (i.e. they are no longer in strips). Can anyone recommend a system that will work and not involve me pushing multiple images into a multi-image slot...

I always took pride in being able to explain how film photography works but this just blew my mind. From a 1960s photo year book. It almost reads as poetry. From a 1960s Photo Year book!

So some work come up to film social media content for a local firm, my 5dmk3 was not up to the cut, lacking focus tracking and more. I got a used IPHONE 13 PRO and DJI gimbal and it's great. But if I wanted to move up at some point and used a bigger camera to film and get the results I need...

Hello all I have a working solution for my Bronicas by firing a flash using a trigger. I want to venture out and add fill flash to shots and I have one in mind. I have a local church on a hill which I have shot with old gravestones in front. The church is coming out fine but I would like to...

What is FFFSFA,(FFS)? Fixed Focus, Fixed Speed, Fixed Aperture In the past this was a 'Disposable Camera' challenge, however seeing how little chance there is nowadays to effectively recycle or refill all these cameras, the FFFSFA challenge was created in 2022 so now another year will run. How...

So I've been reading through photographer Stanley Greene's Chechnyan War book Open Wound I purchased recently. I've been pretty blown away about not just the content of the photos, but the actual "look" of them too. I scanned part of one of the photos at 9600dpi. This image is an extreme close...

Found this great photo book the other day for 50 whole pence!! I don't normally buy photo books unless I truly know the pictures will inspire me every time I look at them! I started on film 35mm in 1998, but didn't know jack about photography gear or best practice then. I moved to digital in...

Sorry if this has been asked a million times before! I'm looking to try my hand at some colour film photography and I'm wondering for anyone who has experience with both which of these film (Portra/ Ektar) you would pick for landscape photography? Apparently Portra is less contrasty and not as...

Scenes gathered from 02/03/2022 during the removal of protestors from New Zealand's parliament grounds. Starting photography as a hobby and picked up a cheap Pentax P30T w/ a lens second hand for $70 NZD (~ £35). These photos are from a roll of Ilford Delta 3200, my third roll I've had...

I have a GORGEOUS Ensign 6x9/6x6 camera that is... Quite old. It works, even the shutter timing sounds about right down to 1/25th second (top speed a whopping 1/150th!) and is fitted with a folding 105mm f4.5 lens. Sadly, the 6x6 mask has long since disappeared (unless I'm missing a key...

Hi everyone. I went for a roll around the local park on Saturday. I took my EOS650 loaded with HP4 and left my 90D at home - so that I didn't get a set of duplicate photos. It was a cold day and the wheelchair just about managed the path down to the lake. I met a couple of other keen...

Hi everyone, I have recently gotten a Canon A1, that functions perfectly well apart from the shutter speeds at the lower end of the dial. Timings starting at around half a second, are significantly faster than they should be. For example a 1 second exposure is measuring at around 0.8 seconds...

Please write about your experience of using both of these two devices. If you have it.

Hello... So I've been wanting to experiment with this sort of strange balanced portrait where the subject is lit by flash (I have an elinchrom portable unit) yet the natural light in the background is still visible. I've seen a few photographers achieve this and I'm yet to try it for a project...

Is this the forum to talk vintage (film) cine cameras? Is there anywhere specifically dedicated to talk vintage (film) cine cameras? Thank you. Rich

Hi all. I am new to medium format film photography, and seem to be having issues when I develop my negatives from my Rollei SL66 camera. As you can see below, the edges of the film are coming out of the development tank over exposed. This has also happened to other rolls of film shot with this...
