A Guide for Poor Film Photographers

lustig !!! I was buying baulk in the 70s as a poor student. Now I old and I still poor lol, I sitting on a ton of old Kodak film and I got the same A1 not from my late mom. I did get a nice flatbed scanner, so i got that. I have Sony digital but I have been using the flatbed. Love the idea of cloericzed B/W film.

how in the name of god did i get here.

Where do o get the film in bulk?

for the love and longevity of your film take-up sprocket. Do not bulk load... lol 😅

Very clever! I almost subscribed.....😁👍

"you enjoy photography so your time's worth nothing"
bro I feel attacked 😭

Haha ich fühle dich so! Melde wegen Kodak bald die Privatinsolvenz an...

At this point why are you even shooting film? Film is pure. And by putting it under ai, you take away that purity. These aren't photos anymore. These are just bad digital images.

How do you call that thingy that makes rotate the tripod so you can put the camera looking down for pictures?

What tripod do you use?

Lol so true

Brilliant, amusing and very useful

Vinyl has no plural! :)

At one time ... I experimented with using little unused portions of film stock which had been installed in film cassettes just like standard film, with the purpose of using it just like any ordinary color negative film. Hmm ...
Very interesting! The whole character of the film was different, rather nice, but it took a bit of getting accustomed to. The color was rather soft and bland, and was therefore somewhat suitable for portrait photography - not actual portraits, but just your family having fun at the beach, or whatever.
And if memory serves ... then that film had extremely fine grain.
Seems to me like I got it from Seattle Film works. I don't even know if that company is still in business. Hmm, but maybe they also processed and sold standard film stocks? It's been so long ago that I can hardly remember.

Joint the current century in order to solve your problems - FUTC.
I love film as much as the next guy - quite seriously. But film is now totally impractical, and impossibly expensive unless you're a ka-jillionaire.
As for vinyl ... oh, brother. Which analogue millennium do you inhabit?
Vinyl is FUN - that's all. Well, also nostalgic. But who likes ticks and pops? Plus the occasional scratch which WILL occur, almost guaranteed, and the inability to listen to Beethoven's 9th symphony without needing to take one disc off the platter and install the next one? Hmm .. and storage space? After a while, it becomes problematic. And besides ...
Who loves turntable rumble, plus pre and post groove echo?
A CD player solves all of this ... and a Jukebox style CD player is even better, and MUCH less expensive than a premium quality turntable.

*puts on fedora* Why yes for the electricity on a battery of my T2i digital camera... Which lets me get 350 photos per battery charge, which considering the amount of photos I've taken which are 10,500 I've spent only about 8 cents in electricity, and considering you spent 2,100 dollars on film including the charge of the digital camera to take the film photos... Hmmmmm.... *Has troll face*

help i tried this and now there are 6 extra 0's on the end of the balance in my bank account

Fantastic - very informative - very humorous!!!

It's an investment but I like the idea. What software or code do you use for the colorisation?

I use Fomapan 200 and develop with Rodinal.
I print the best in my windowless bathroom darkroom on my Gnome condenser enlarger through Schneider Componon S enlarging lens.
I use Ilford multigrade paper.
I have been doing this since the 1960s when I was a hippie, now I guess I'm called a hipster.
Oh yes and I play Vinyl, use a fountain pen and wear a mechanical watch.
I am on trend with ccd sensor digital cameras like my Nikon D40x and my old 2005 Ricoh GR digital 8 megapixel camera. Peace brothers
