This past Easter I planned a trip to Grenoble, a good opportunity to take landscape shots of the French Alps. At the same time, I was been keen to try out an attractive low ISO film that I received in the last Secret Santa (thanks EM); a roll of Kodak Panchromatic Separation Film 2238, a panchromatic […]

5 Frames… Of Kodak Tri-X 400 35mm and a Lomo LC-A (35mm Format / EI 400 / Lomo Minitar 1 32mm f/2.8)
Until late March this year (last week at the time of writing), I hadn’t shot a roll of film in more than 10 years, since around the time Kodak discontinued Plus-X. I recently discovered that a great independent lab (Boutique Film Lab) opened up in my hometown of Nashville, TN, a few years ago and […]

5 Frames… Of Kodak Portra 400 on a Kodak M35 plastic camera – by Kerry Constantino
The reputation of Kodak Portra 400 precedes itself. Warm, forgiving, with a soft grain that shows up velvety. The colors that Portra highlights well are warm ones; reds, ambers, earthy browns, mossy greens, and turquoise. Skin tones are true and highlights can sometimes appear just a touch golden. It’s one of my favorite films, and […]

5 Frames… Of Dresden Neustadt on Kodak Portra 160 (35mm format / EI 160 / Minolta SRT MC-II + Minolta MC 35mm f2.8) – by Konrad Kiesel
Lately, I found myself in the urge of shooting my trusty old Minolta SRT MC-II. While firing away some shots, to see if the shutter sounds reasonable at different speeds, I came to realise that I must have loaded some film into it at some point. Also I could not remember what film I loaded […]

5 Frames… Ending in a Pacific sunset on Kodak Portra 400 (35mm Format / EI 400 / Canon A-1 + Canon 50mm 1.4) – by Zak DenHartigh
This past November, I had the opportunity to visit a close friend of mine in Los Angeles, California. Given the current situation with covid, I didn’t really know what to expect on my trip. I was worried that there may not be enough going on to enjoy or photograph. I am thankful that there ended […]

5 Frames… From an old, familiar Pentax K1000 on Kodak T-MAX 400 (35mm Format / EI 400 + SMC Pentax-M 28mm f/2.8)
I brought my Pentax K1000 (a combined birthday and Christmas gift in 1988) back into service in 2021, after a decades-long hiatus from it, and after 15 or so years of not shooting film at all. I was surprised to find myself every bit as happy to be shooting film as I had been when […]

Confessions of a film developer
Okay, so when things go wrong the best thing to do is chalk it up to experience and make sure you don’t do it again. In the real world this is sometimes easier said than done, fortunately, when developing film at home it’s a bit more straightforward, as long as you know what you did […]

5 Frames… From Bloomsbury to Kings Cross on Kodak Portra 400 and a Pentax ME Super

5 Frames… Around Vassar College, New York, on Kodak Portra 400 (120 format / EI 400 / Mamiya RB67 Pro SD + Mamiya-Sekor 180mm f/4.5 C)
I bought a Mamiya RB67 Pro SD and 180mm f4.5 C lens in fall 2021 and did)n’t want to stray too far from home for the first roll through the camera. We recently moved to the Hudson Valley of New York and live across the street from Vassar College, which is more and more becoming […]

5 Frames… Of what makes Havana special on Kodak Tri-X 400 and a Kodak Brownie Reflex 20 (120 Format / EI 400)
When my wife turned 40, she wanted just one thing: to have a nice vacation in a warm place with a beach. After negotiating that our destination be all-inclusive so that I might walk around with cocktails in coconuts all day, we settled on a resort in Veradero, Cuba. She got her beach; I got […]

5 frames… Or 5 woodland portraits, taken with a Hasselblad 500CM and Sonnar CF 180mm f/4 on expired Kodak T-MAX 100 at EI 50
For what am I not trying to capture if not the essence of the character of my motifs? That´s why I like to shoot the woodlands and other things I find interesting with a portrait lens or at least mostly with a shallow depth of field. I´m interested in details I see or the beauty […]

The King’s Trail: Documenting my hike through the Swedish Lappland on the Leica M4 and Kodak ULTRAMAX 400
Above the Arctic Circle, amidst the wide green plains, enclosed in looming blue peaks, the ‘King’s Trail’ covers 400km of land devoid of civilisation, save for the indigenous Sami, their reindeer, and the occasional shelter. Here is where I found myself last year, Leica M4 in hand, photographing one of the most beautiful places on […]

My return to film: Roy Shiro
Many photographers look back at their work at the end of the year, to assess, critique, and, if you’re like me, to convince themselves that they’re moving forward with their work. This year was a bit different in some respects for me, as the end of the year marks the one-year anniversary of my move […]

5 Frames… Starting with a walk through Brooklyn on Kodak Tri-X 400 and a Konica Autoreflex T3 (35mm Format / EI 400 / Konica Hexanon AR 50mm f/1.7)
I looked up to the man biking down the hill. As I waited for him to come down, I stood behind a row of parked cars waiting, camera in hand, finger on the shutter release. He came nearer. I put my eye to the viewfinder, lined up the shot, and… nothing. The button was locked; […]
