5 Frames… From my first time shooting Lomography Berlin Kino 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Nikon F4S)
My usual goto B&W film stock is ILFORD HP5 PLUS, which I shoot at box speed up to EI 3200 quite regularly. I love to try out other B&W films and compare them to HP5 PLUS so when Lomography announced Berlin Kino 400 I immediately bought some with the intention of shooting each at different…

5 Frames… Testing my new Paterson Tank with expired Kodak MAX 800 (EI 800 / 35mm format / Kodak HD Disposable)
In writing my first 5 Frames With… for EMULSIVE I wanted to try and cover something different, looking through my folders of film scans there was something that stood out like a sore thumb.

5 Frames… At Connecticut’s Hammonasset State Park with ILFORD HP5 PLUS (EI 400 / 120 format / Fujica GSW690)
After acquiring a Fujifilm GW690II and having so much fun with it, I felt I could use a wider angle for landscapes, so I set out looking for the GSW version, which sports a 65mm f/5.6 lens as opposed to the 90mm f/3.5 lens on the GW series. I found a GSW first series model…

5 Frames… From my third trip to Iceland on ILFORD HP5 PLUS 400 (EI 1600 / 35mm format / Pentax Spotmatic SP)
Iceland is a photographer’s fairy tale island. It’s almost impossible to take a bad picture in the land of ice and fire.

5 Frames… At Raid Area 51 on Kodak Portra 160 (EI 100 / 120 format / Pentax 67)
I shot the Area 51 Raid 2019 on a Pentax 67 using Portra 160, and it was (almost) the perfect camera for the job.

5 Frames… Of the Swedish High Coast and Åland with expired Fujifilm Velvia 100 (EI 100 / 35mm / Nikon F4)
I had a roll of Fujifilm Velvia 100 with an expiry date of 2012 sitting in my fridge for quite a while and thinking that the film (and me for that matter) was not getting any younger, I decided to load it in my trusty Nikon F4 for some positive film fun times! This was not the first time I have shot using Velvia…

5 Frames… With Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H (EI 400 / 120 format / Hasselblad 500C/M)
I bought this Hasselblad 500C/M a little over 2 years ago now. It was an eBay buy and back then I was a digital shooter. I always lusted after…

5 Frames… At sunset in Cologne with Kodak VISION3 5213 (35mm / EI / EI 125 / Minolta Hi-Matic 7s)
Earlier in 2019, I ordered the mixed-film-pack from Silbersalz, containing one roll of each of the four Kodak VISION3 motion picture film varieties.

5 Frames… At Otome no Taki with Lomography Potsdam Kino 100 (35mm / EI 100 / Nikon FG)
This was my third attempt at finding this waterfall not so far from where I live. I knew I wanted to bring my Nikon FG with the 50mm f/1.8 Series E lens, but wasn’t settled on the film yet. I decided on the roll of Lomography Potsdam Kino 100 that I got over the holiday…

5 Frames… Mostly in Italy on Lomography F²/400 (EI 200 / 120 Format / Hasselblad 500C/M)
Since subscribing to Lomography’s newsletter, I came across Lomography F2/400 in 120. Research revealed this film to be expired Ferrania’s Solaris FG 400. The five images presented here are from an October 2018 trip to Italy (Milan/Bologna), where the colors can be somewhat muted, due to the overcast light and shorter days. The film itself…

5 Frames… With ILFORD PAN F PLUS (EI 50 / 120 format / Vermeer 6×6 Pinhole)
Earlier in 2019, I built a shoebox pinhole camera, and had a blast using it. But I wanted something a bit more reliable in its outcomes, so I went online and ordered a handmade pinhole from Poland. The Vermeer 6×6 Pinhole Camera came with a 34mm focal length, and a 2mm pinhole that results in…

5 Frames… With Film Washi F (EI 100 / 35mm format / Rollei 35TE)
First of all, I’m not a great master photographer, it’s just a lot of fun and has been for over 30 years, with a break of several years and a digital phase in between. My motto is WISIWYG, What I See Is What You Get. On a beautiful sunny morning in late November 2019, I…

5 Frames… From Waneka Lake Park with ILFORD Delta 100 Professional (EI 100 / 120 format / Reality So Subtle 6X6F Pinhole)
Inspired by an ILFORD Photo November Camera Challenge on Twitter, I set out with my Reality So Subtle 6X6F. Three goals in mind: Work with my RSS using a contrast filter (the “F” means a filter can be attached) Satisfy the Story part of the Challenge Get started on “My Inner Monet” So more about…

5 Frames… Of Cinestill 800T at night (EI 1250 / 35mm format / Contax 159 MM)
My father was a hobby photographer and had a beautiful collection of Contax equipment. As I progressed in my work, he started generously handing down his collection to me for my desired needs. The first item he passed down to me was this Contax 159 MM, a camera that has a reputation for failure some…

5 Frames… Shooting three National Parks with Kodak Portra 400 (EI 400 / 120 format / Zeiss Ikonta 521/2)
In May of 2019, my partner and I embarked on a 2000-mile road trip to Joshua Tree, the Grand Canyon, Zion and Death Valley National Parks. It was a wonderful experience and the perfect opportunity to slow down with film. Shooting film in nature, especially 6×9 120 format, gives us more time to take in…

5 Frames… In Casablanca and Rabat with Kentmere 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon EOS 100)
Having been into film photography for a little over a year, I saw visiting my sister in Morocco as the perfect opportunity to take some pictures in a different environment from the rainy streets of Leeds. This particular roll was shot in Casablanca and Rabat (there’s even a picture of my Dad on the train…

5 Frames… In the deserts of West Texas with Kodak Portra 400 (EI 100 / 35mm format / Olympus OM-2N)
On good days, the deserts of West Texas seem to tolerate human presence. The bad days bring flash floods and lightning storms that would faze even Zeus. I often travel to the region for work, regardless of what day it is, and when I do I make sure to bring my Olympus and a backpack…

5 Frames… With JCH StreetPan 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Nikon FM2n)
6 months without getting the film camera out was finally over – between work, study and small children, my hobbies had taken a back seat.

5 Frames… With ILFORD FP4 PLUS (EI 125 / 120 format / Mamiya C330 Professional)
I grew up in an area that used to be completely farmland about 100 years ago. Some of the smaller family-owned farms are still in operation, but almost all of the original landowners decided a long time ago that the money from selling the land would be more than the money they’d be paid by…

5 Frames… With Kodak T-MAX 100 (EI 50 / 35mm format / Leica IIIf)
I go to visit my family in Argentina once a year, and ever since I got into film photography I have been returning from these trips with my carry-on filled with their old and unwanted cameras, flashes, and meters. This year, my aunt (who was an avid film photographer) found a bag of expired film…
