Most of us that have been around film photography for a long time know the Nikon Nikonos underwater camera. It was always a bit of a mysterious camera, reserved for fantastic journeys into the great depths of the oceans. These days, Nikonos cameras seem to be more of a curiosity of the past. Sadly, these were precision-engineered […]

Oh … well, this is more of a story of how I quit film and then went back to it again. You see, I was having some issues with the toxicity of the film community here in Vietnam and so I decided to quit film photography for good. I got myself a Fujifilm X-T2 but […]

5 Frames… Of my (maybe) new favourite film, Kodak Ektar 100 (120 Format / EI 100 / Kowa Six + Kowa 85mm f/2.8) – by Tim Rangi

by Tim RangiFebruary 22, 2021February 22, 2021

Ever since I started shooting medium format film, I’ve been searching for a favourite film stock and I think I may have found it in Kodak’s Ektar 100 Professional After a short walk with my Kowa Six and Kowa Lens-S 85mm f/2.8 loading with a roll of Ektar 100, I found this tiny log in […]

Before the world stopped turning, I took a road-trip to the US Pacific Northwest with the dog while my wife and daughter visited the outlaws in the midwest. I got to go visit a bunch of nerdy places that my (at the time) four-year-old either could not go to, or would have been bored to […]

by Matheus de SouzaFebruary 16, 2021February 16, 2021

The year 2020 started with a lot of expectations, after all, we had been waiting for 7 years and finally, at the end of the year, our wedding would happen. The year started with a lot of preparations for the ceremony, reception party, and photographic ideas. As a photography enthusiast, I wanted to do something […]

I began in photography shooting for The Arbiter, Boise State University’s student newspaper. My qualifications at the time? I had access to a camera (a Minolta SRT 303b) and I happened to be at a bar with the photo editor drinking whisky when he realized he was one staff photographer short. At the time we […]

5 Frames… Of my slice of midtown Detroit on Fuji Superia X-TRA 400 and a Minolta Maxxum 7 (35mm Format / EI 400 / Minolta AF 28-75 f/2.8) – by Alexander Clegg

by Alexander CleggFebruary 13, 2021February 12, 2021

These 5 Frames were all shot on an afternoon walk around my neighborhood in Midtown Detroit. It was a hot summer day and I was absolutely exhausted from being locked into my tiny apartment for so long from the lockdown. One afternoon I had stopped by my parents’ house while they were at work to […]

I am no photographer. Well, not in any meaningful sense of the word anyways. I have neither formal training nor professional experience in the practice. Yet despite this, film photography is now a passion, a mode of expression, and a way of seeing the world which I hold dear. Like many other amateurs (I use […]

Kodak Color Plus 200 and a Vivitar Powershot, Tessa Klingensmith

5 Frames… Of Christmas double exposures on Kodak Color Plus 200 and a Vivitar Powershot (35mm Format / EI 200) – by Tessa Klingensmith

by Tessa KlingensmithFebruary 10, 2021February 10, 2021

On Christmas Eve I polished up my Vivitar Powershot Point and Shoot 35mm camera that I rescued from the recycle bin at work and loaded it up with a roll of Kodak ColorPlus 200. I wanted to do something experimental, and the ease of point and shoot cameras lends itself perfectly to experimental photography. I […]

As a creative, making it to the end of 2020 felt like a literal Sysiphus myth — pushing a giant boulder uphill all year to stay creative, make money, stay healthy and not lose hope. It required a lot of patience, determination, and self-care. I made the move to LA in the midst of the […]

5 Frames… At the local supermarket on my rut-busting Olympus XA2 + ILFORD HP5 PLUS (35mm Format / EI 400) – by Phil Cifone

by Phil CifoneFebruary 8, 2021February 8, 2021

About a year ago I was feeling a bit in a rut creatively, and I always feel exercises help get my creative juices flowing. I needed to be more serendipitous with the camera, rather than photography being something I set out to do with a clear goal and then ultimately being let down if I […]

Rollei RPX 400 and a Yashica Mat-124G, Tim Baker

5 Frames… Of social deprivation in the English West Midlands on Rollei RPX 400 and a Yashica Mat-124G – by Tim Baker

by Tim BakerFebruary 6, 2021February 2, 2021

Growing up in the digital age, I took the leap into film photography a year ago shooting a roll of Rollei RPX 400 on a £5 Praktica. I hated how with the introduction of EVF’s and ‘live view’ there was almost no need to think about how to get the look you wanted so I […]

My Nikon F3HP + Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 AI-S, Michael Hertz

by Michael HertzFebruary 4, 2021February 2, 2021

I have been hooked on photography ever since my father showed me how to use his basement darkroom when I was in my teens. I took my first ‘real’ camera — a Pentax Spotmatic — to Europe with me as a college student in the late 1960s. I used Kodachrome 25 and 64, bought and […]

by Dimitris ChatzisFebruary 1, 2021February 1, 2021

It was around 9 o’clock in the evening when I was walking the coast of Thessaloniki in order to capture some long exposures of the ships with one of my friends. I was had my Hasselblad 500CM loaded with a Fuji Provia 100F and was searching for the ideal place to set our tripods. My […]

5 Frames… On the high-impact polystyrene Ami 6×6 with Arista.EDU Ultra 100 (EI ??? / 120 format) – by Brian DuBois I love Black and White film. Historically, it is where photography began and the process allows for so much personalization with multiple film and developer choices. As part of the historical fascination, I love […]

5 Frames… From my first roll of ILFORD HP5 PLUS on an old Nikon F-401 (35mm Format / EI 400 / Nikon Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5) – by Jennifer Hatton-Smooker

by Jennifer Hatton-SmookerJanuary 26, 2021January 26, 2021

My first adventure with ILFORD HP5 PLUS ISO 400 black and white film was exactly what I hoped for — this film is great. I’m relatively new (less than 6 months) to analogue photography, or indeed any photography, and this film is known as one of the best all-rounders with good reason. I shot this […]

5 Frames… Of ILFORD Delta 100 Professional in the snow (35mm format / EI 50 / Nikon F + Nikon Nikkor-S 35mm f/2.8) – by Steve Bode

by Steve BodeJanuary 25, 2021March 20, 2021

A fresh snow the night before set the scene for a perfect photographic outing in mid-December 2020. I grabbed my Nikon F with a 35mm lens, loaded it with ILFORD Delta 100 Professional and headed for Minden Park, a location I’d been eyeing for such an occasion. There was a fairly overcast sky which would […]
