Welcome to the month that was November 2018 here on EMULSIVE. I had a bit of a short circuit, resulting in 12 photo posts and 23 articles.

I have to start with saying of late my taste in colour film has been changing.

If you’re like me and have the attention span of a lemon, the idea of buying what
5 Frames… With Shanghai GP3 (EI 100 / 120 format / Mamiya 645 AFD)

5 Frames… With Fujicolor C200 (El 100 / 35mm format / Nikon F100)

5 Frames… With Fuji Provia 100F RDPIII (EI 400 / 120 format / XPRO / Mamiya C220)
I don’t shoot as much E6 film as I want to. Part of it is that I love the ease and practicality of B/W, and the other is I’m too cheap to send my rolls to a lab.
