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...

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...

Hi all, This forum was recommended to me last week when I purchased a secondhand Chroma Advanced 4x5 camera on Ebay. I make, mainly landscape, images in most formats: Nikon DSLR, 35mm, 6x6 medium format, pinhole and, more recently, 4x5. I am finding that I am tending to neglect digital a bit...

Advance notice of next year's challenge. Updated MAY 2021 This gives us time to get ordering, putting on Santa's list or start loudly hinting (or scouring charity shops and car boots if you like really unpredictable results ) in time to get shooting from Christmas Cʜʀɪsᴛᴍᴀs Day (it said...

Like many people, I've been so used to using digital for the past few years with instant 'feedback' on the photo that I'm nervous now I'm adding analogue photography back into the mix. With the cost of film & D&P [I don't feel confident in developing my own film], I'm holding back from shooting...

After a Brilliant Idea by a certain @Asha of this parish, its been decided that what we kind of need is a place to share "the whole story" behind our Film shooting excursions. What the Hell are you on about Mark, I hear you thinking... Well, let me try and explain... I'm talking about a...

Hi guys, Recently got a used Nikon F100 off eBay - was working perfectly for the first roll and a half I put through it. Today I've picked it up and turned it on and found that the dial on the front of the camera, to change aperture etc, doesn't seem to work at all? After working perfectly only...

Hi all, I would like some advice and recommendations on the best photo and negative scanners to convert a whole load of prints, negatives and slides to digital. I believe the slides and negs are all 35mm (normal P&S cameras from the 70s & 80s). I am running a standard Windows 10 laptop if that...

Good day fellow internet people, I was gifted a Nikon FM2 along with two lenses (Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AI and Nikon 35mm f/2 AI-S) for Christmas from my Ex. Have been hooked on photography since. I’m a fan of Fan Ho, Brassaï and Sebastian Salgado. That rich contrast and vivid detail look. Please...

Recently got a refurbished Epson V600 for scanning 35mm film, however some of the scans contain what looks like an oil trace on them. I have tried different negatives but they all give the same trace in that area of the scanner. I've tried cleaning the glass with a microfiber cloth and...

These images in the link have such a beautiful edit on them but I have no idea how to achieve it. I know she shoots film.. and might scan the negative as a positive and edit on top of that. It's not as simple as adding saturation or curve balance.. it doesn't even come close to having this...

A few things I know about her work and how she shoots.. shoots on a hassy using varying film but mostly ektar 100. I think she pushes her film to 400 sometimes. I know she edits or did edit with the NIK collection on photoshop but I don't know how she gets these vivid dream like colours. Does...

I was wondering if anyone shoots 4x5 with Blue X-Ray Film, the high speed stuff which would be shot around 40 to 125 ISO and if so where do you purchase your film from? I've recently purchased Washi B which comes in around £18 for 12 sheets, unfortunately I seriously injured myself so I...

Hi! Does anyone knwo where I could get my 35mm film developed and preinted to a resenoble price in southwest or southnorth London? Thankful for your responses! :)

Folks, My sister pinged me a quick question regarding film/slide scanners. She has looked at :- This which is a Kodak all in1 scanner. It looks ok to me given the number of adaptors etc... Anybody got any thoughts on the best way forward for the requirement? Any "MUST HAVE" features? The...
