Scanning With PrimeFilm XA and VueScan

Intermediate — Scanning Film

VueScan, SilverFast, DSLR Scanning Rigs, Flatbeds, and You

Shooting film in 2020 is a little different from the pre-2000s analogue era. Though the cameras and chemistry haven’t changed much, modern workflows typically demand digitizing of all visual assets. Unfortunately, consumer scanning technology hasn’t had any truly benificial advances since its introduction decades ago, leaving us with just a few flawed methods.

Making Lumen Prints With Ilford Gelatin-Silver Photographic Paper

To help deter the feelings of restlessness, as the world is dealing with the pandemic, I decided to take on a creative project and share my experience along the way. This is just one out of a plethora of possible activities, particularly fun if you happen to have some gelatin-silver photographic paper laying around.

A Series of Images Shot While Living in the Swedish Countryside

Since it’s my first submission to Analog. Cafe, I think it would be polite to introduce myself:Olá, my name is Mariah Peixoto; I am 26 years old. I am from São Paulo, Brazil. Photography is a hobby and a passion of mine, rather than a source of income.

We didn’t know anyone in our neighbourhood, located just south of Southern Avenue, just west of Mill, when we moved in. When I told a friend who lives a mile north of here where we’d moved, she smirked, “Our neighbours call that So-So. ”I learned the ten blocks that make up “Tempe Gardens 2” by walking them, carrying, back then, our infant daughter and now, five years later, our infant son.

FED-2 II/b With Industar-10

1950s Soviet 35mm Rangefinder

An Irresistible Piece of Soviet Photographic Technology

FED-2 variant II is a beautiful camera with its share of flaws and imperfections. A Soviet copy of the Leica II that I could not resist at $50. FED is an acronym for Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, in Russian: Фе́ликс Эдму́ндович Дзержи́нский. His legacy is Soviet secret police and the children’s labour commune which eventually got transformed into the factory that made this camera.

Film and Vintage Clothes for Digital Natives in South Korea

Digital natives, millennials, or the N-po generation in South Korea aren’t as comfortable with modern gadgetry as one may think. We like old stuff and wistfully wonder about the days before the internet-enabled toasters. Some say we’re pretentious. And we may look the part with our baggy pants, plaid shirts, and film cameras.

Quarantine Zine

Project Overview

A Project Overview

Quarantine Zine’s purpose is to be a boredom breaker for the film community who may be in lockdown or unable to fully enjoy their life due to COVID-19. The idea is to be deliberately low-tech and low quality, much like an art zine that students would put together using school resources, like scissors, glue and photocopiers and a stapler.
