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…

5 Frames… Of Bethmoora on ILFORD Delta 3200 Professional (EI 3200 / 35mm format / Canon EOS-1V HS)
I know the drummer of the Danish heavy metal band Bethmoora. In October 2019 they were performing at the legendary concert venue…

5 Frames… On Kodak Ektar 100 at night (EI 100 / 120 format / Mamiya 645 AFD)
Each time I have shot a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 it has seemed difficult to achieve the types of beautiful images I have witnessed other…

5 Frames…from 4 cities on Kosmo Foto Mono 100 (EI 100 / 35mm format / Nikon F3/T)
Photography for me is used to capture the things I like and to provide a welcome distraction from the comings and going of modern life.

5 Frames… Of Baltimore’s East Side with Fomapan 400 Action (EI 320 / 35mm format / Canon A-1)
This particular day another photographer and I met up to wander around Baltimore’s East Side to take photos in different neighborhoods.

5 Frames… In Bangalore with Bergger Pancro 400 (EI 400 / 120 format / Pentax 6×7)
For long, my go-to ISO 400 film in 120 format has been Kodak Tri-X 400. However, since I read about Bergger Pancro 400 on EMULSIVE, I…

5 Frames… With ILFORD FP4 PLUS (EI 125 / 35mm format / Nikon F2)
The two things I like the most are surf and film photography so naturally, the beach and the waves are a constant in my photos. Photography was always on my mind. It’s an old love that never, till now, was taken too seriously. I remember when I was twenty my friends used to pay me…

5 Frames… With Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon EOS 1000FN)
Hearing good things about FujiFilm Fujicolor Pro 400H, I thought I’d get involved. I’d be using the camera body of Canon EOS 1000FN, which was big in the early ’90s. The camera seems sturdy and reliable, I tend to overexpose by one stop, as I think the light meter may have deteriorated over the past…

5 Frames… With ILFORD HP5 PLUS (EI 400 / 35mm format / Nikon F3)
My father taught me to bulk roll film, develop and print back in the ’80s. Today I shoot mostly using digital cameras but I’ve recently acquired a Nikon F3, a Pentax Spotmatic and a Minolta Autocord 75mm f/3.5 TLR. In the spirit of “use it or lose it”, I have lost all of my old…

5 Frames… With a Liquid Cyanotype Kit on Fluid Cold Press Finish Watercolor Paper
The way the paper showed the details in the lacy leaves was more than I had hoped for. And the tactile process of arranging items that I loved on paper was therapeutic.

5 Frames… With Adox HR-50 (EI 50 / 35mm format / Nikon F100)
It can be a strange experience visiting an old stamping ground after a gap of many years as it was when I went back to Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the summer; the place is still Newcastle but some of my favourite pubs have long since disappeared, some remain and new ones have sprung up, a host of…

5 Frames… Of the Pacific Northwest with Kodak Portra 400 (EI 400 / 120 format / Yashica-Mat 124G
Over the last few years, I have become a landscape photographer. It was not a conscious choice but now I embrace it.

5 Frames… On ILFORD HP5 PLUS (EI 400 / 35mm format / Leica M1)
You don’t see many references to the Leica M1 but it is perhaps the purest photographic tool. It has a good viewfinder but no rangefinder and no other automation. It has the same body as the M2 but as you can see from the first photograph below, there is no rangefinder window (it’s blanked out…
-
5 Frames… With ILFORD XP2 Super (35mm / EI 400 / Canon TX)
When I started out in film photography, I was doing it as way to feel connected to my late father who also loved photography. I remembered his Canon SLR that he constantly took photos with when I was a kid.

5 Frames… Of mewithoutYou on Kodak T-MAX P3200 (EI 3200 / 35mm format / Canon Canonet G-III QL17)
When my favorite band — Philadephia’s mewithoutYou — came to town in Fall 2019 fall, I knew I wanted to shoot the concert with film. I’ve been going to punk rock shows since the mid-90s, but have only taken up film photography in earnest over the last year or so. For my first foray into…

5 Frames… With Kosmo Foto Mono 100 (EI 100 / 120 format / Mamiya C220)
Over the last year or so I’ve been making the transition back in time to using film rather than my digital’ cameras. In life, I feel I am making a return to a slower and more simple outlook and the return to film for me is part of the process. I tend to use whatever…

5 Frames… With Fomapan 400 Action (EI 400 / 35mm format / Olympus Pen EED)
I am a huge fan of half-frame cameras. I like to compose with the ‘portrait’ finder which is the default in all half-frame cameras except the Yashica Samurai family. It trains my eye to see in a different way for a while, which is good practice for a photographer. I bought the Pen EED for…
