As I write this in mid-May 2020, it’s week seven of lockdown here in the UK. I’ve been furloughed and have found myself at home with buckets of time and very few ideas on what to do with it. Having burned through much more film than I normally would, just because developing it was something […]

Making a working LEGO wide-format pinhole film camera

by Matthew ParryJune 9, 2020July 31, 2021

The purpose of this article is to guide you through my journey from a random pile of colourful bricks, to a pretty much fully functional 6×12 LEGO pinhole camera. The camera went through various versions, good, bad and ugly, each with their strengths and drawbacks until finally, I got to what I felt to be […]

Managing exposure: Using Sunny 16 and the Zone System at the same time

Avatar photoby Tony WarrenMay 22, 2020July 31, 2021

Linking a relatively simple and intuitive method for photographic exposure determination to a highly complicated and comprehensive system for analysing every step for making a high-quality photographic print may seem to be stretching things a bit. But the fact is there are a couple of features of the Zone System that are are very useful […]

In this article, I’m going to show you how to make a Cyanotype print with UV LED box as the light source. Cyanotypes are traditionally developed in sunlight and the prints are often referred to as “sun prints”. But it is winter, it is cold and UV light isn’t so strong and readily available as […]

So you want to shoot Fujifilm Instax? These are your options today

Avatar - EMby EMApril 26, 2020July 31, 2021

Fujifilm Instax covers a huge range of instant film and cameras created and sold since 1998. Over the past 2+ decades, while the number of other instant film options have dwindled to just enough to count with your fingers and toes, Instax has gone from strength to strength. In this article, I cover the history […]

A guide to Simple, effective and CHEAP macro photography

by Neil KohlMarch 31, 2020July 31, 2021

Business closures, stay at home orders and the imperative for social distancing have probably cut you off from your normal sources of photographic inspiration. Your project Strangers Touching Each Other’s Faces in Dense Crowds is on hold for the foreseeable future. So rather than capturing the wide world, here is a technique to explore the […]

What is exposure? How to use light meters in film photography

Avatar photoby Tony WarrenMarch 1, 2020July 31, 2021

Getting your exposure right is the first priority in making a photograph and comes before almost any other decision after the initial idea for a shot. Nowadays though, it is hardly given a thought. With many cameras making the basic choice, the photographer only needs to decide if any adjustment should be made to achieve […]

How to shoot expired film or, no you do not need to add one stop per decade

Avatar - EMby EMFebruary 5, 2020July 31, 2021

There is a “rule” for shooting expired film. This “rule” states that when shooting expired film, one should add one stop of exposure per decade it has been expired. The rule is wrong and by blindly following it, you are doing yourself, your film and your subjects a disservice. No-one knows where the rule came […]

How to organize a photowalk: A guide by Anil Mistry

Avatar - Anil Mistryby Anil MistryOctober 2, 2019July 31, 2021

I love the social aspect of photography. Meeting other photographers and discovering the way they approach their passion has always been an enjoyable part of mine, so a few years ago I started to arrange little photowalks – mainly with groups of close friends. Some of these friends started to invite other friends and so […]

How to: Get over early hurdles in film photography
