I like to shoot on film because of the kind of light you can capture that seems to be unique to the chemistry behind film photography-also because working within the limits of film really makes me consider each shot I take instead of snapping a bunch of mediocre pics on a DSLR.
#video🍿: Brian Wright shows Linus how to clean up the negative transparency from the peel-apart instant film.
Brian is one half of the Brothers Wright ensemble (the other, Brandon), who founded the CineStill film company. In this video, Brian shows Linus a technique that the Wrights developed for freeing up the negative from the black goo that covers it:
Because I started out shooting film, I have never been able to form a preference for digital! I just feel like shooting things that “matter” on film is important for me.
Every day it seems like computers get worse and worse to use, and avoiding screens (except for reading your excellent work of course) is something I strive for.
Film Washi “E” is a new emulsion for photographers made from a film stock designed for PCB manufacturing.
This film is akin to orthochromatic emulsions (analog.cafe/r/ilford-ortho…), but instead of lacking sensitivity to red colours, Film Washi “E” isn’t sensitive to greens.
Washi “E” has an ISO sensitivity of just 3, and it has a similar sensitivity to printing paper with a similar process for development.
Hello Dmitri, I am shooting on film because for me the results and all the preparations everytime are giving me something special that I cannot get from digital shooting.
As a nerd, how could I avoid entering this giveaway? I prefer shooting on film because of its physicality; and because its limitations (number of frames, expense, exposure triangle) demand a meditative aspect that is missing from the digital process.
#TIL: Autochrome is a colour photography process patented in 1903 that uses multicoloured microscopic potato starch granules to make some of the first colour photographs.
Developing Autochrome glass plates is akin to making black and white positives (a process that’s still in relatively wide use today) — but with a twist. Unfortunately, constructing them is a laborious and expensive process. As noted on Peta Pixel, there’s just one person who’s actively working on it today…
Last week, Lomography released two new designs of their Lomo’Instant Automat Camera featuring artwork by renowned Austrian artist, Gustav Klimt.
The artist-branded Automat cameras, including collaborations with William Klein, Vivian Ho, Suntur, Jarb, Opbeni, el Nil, Park Song Lee, Gongkan, and others, sell for $199, but base model of the same camera is available on sale for $169 on their website: shop.lomography.com/us/ins…
These cameras use the popular Fujifilm Instax Mini film with a 60mm…
An Australian film lab, Film Never Die, has just launched a Kickstarter project for their film camera design, Nana.
The camera was on presale on their website since October last year (I briefly wrote about it here: analog.cafe/r/film-photogr…). It then listed a 31mm 𝒇9 fixed-aperture lens, motorized film advance, and a metal body.
The Kickstarter version now offers a 31mm 𝒇11 single-element fixed-aperture lens with a top shutter speed…
Two major photography manufacturers released new* film this month.
Foma Bohemia, a Czech manufacturer founded in 1921, made their fast orthochromatic Orho 400 film available in 35mm. It’ll come in beautiful vintage-inspired boxes.
Foma says: “It is characterised by good resolving power and contour sharpness, fine grain and high maximum density of the silver image… Its high optical sensitivity enables to take photographs even in adverse light conditions and using shorter exposure times. The nominal optical…
“The Big Film Photowalk” to be THE BIGGEST concurrent UK film photography walk ever!
