If you’ve already looked at my cameras page, you’ll know that all but one of my cameras take film.
Using a camera is only half of photography. If you shoot digital, you’ll probably use Photoshop or similar to edit your photos. Working in a darkroom is the “other half” of film photography, and I find it hugely satisfying. You can see more photos of my darkroom on my blog.
I have the equipment and chemicals to develop colour black & white film, in either 35mm or 120 format, and to make black & white prints.
Usually I scan the negatives after developing them. I sometimes make prints of my favourite photos, and recently I experimented with autoradiographic plates. You might also like to read my blog for other articles about photography.
I like to “own the process” from start to finish. I like to choose one of my vintage cameras, and choose the best film for that camera and for my purpose. Then I can develop the film myself, and scan it or print it. The result is a picture I’ve made.
