Rolling car photography: Japanese muscle cars on 8×10 Kodak film
When you think about rolling car photography — the art of taking photos of moving vehicles, not just moving cars — while moving, using large format film probably won’t spring to mind as your first choice. Hell, 35mm film probably won’t either, let alone a ponderous format, exposed one sheet at a time into a…

5 Frames… Of downtown Porto Alegre on Kodak 200T in a Canon AT-1 and 35mm f/2.8 FD (35mm Format / EI 200)
The classic combo for street photography is a 50mm or a 35mm lens with a black and white film behind it. Most of us grow our repertoire with that aesthetic built by many masters of photography and, as expected, we tend to mimic that look. But what if you don’t consider yourself a street photographer…

Camera review: The utilitarian Kiev 60
The Kiev 60. It was the camera that got me into medium format film photography, and for better or worse, the one that I love, and the one that frustrates me the most. A Soviet tank of a camera — the T-34 if you will — it’s not one that you want to lug up…

5 Frames… At Pennsylvania’s Trolley Graveyard on ILFORD Delta 400 Professional (35mm Format / El 400 / Canon Elan IIe + Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II)
I had the opportunity to participate in an organized trip to a place called the Trolley Graveyard in Windber, Pennsylvania in December of 2020. As this was almost a year into the pandemic, I jumped at the idea of going anywhere at all. It was outside and everyone would be masked and distanced and so…

5 Frames… Of Kodak Portra 400 under tungsten light, color corrected in post (35mm Format / EI 400 / Nikon F3 + Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E)
A lot has been written about the famous Nikon F3, so I decided to make it a little bit more personal and tell the story of how I shot my first roll of film in a Nikon camera. So, I was there in the middle of the lockdown, a cinematographer choosing to sell my digital…

5 Frames… Around China’s Huangshan on Kodak T-MAX 400 and a Leica R6 (35mm format / EI 400 / Leica Summicron-R 35mm f/2.0
I back got into film in 2019 after I bought an almost mint-condition Hasselblad 503CW kit with the standard Carl Zeiss Planar CF 80mm f/2.8 lens, and then a Sonnar CF 150mm f/4.0. My first experience with film cameras was with a Pentax K1000 back in the 1990s, but this time I went all out.…

My first roll… Kodak Gold 200 in an Olympus OM20 (35mm format, EI 200, Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/1.4)
After around 12 years of digital photography, I stumbled across film. I found myself coming away from the high contrast triggering photos everyone seems to be creating on digital these days (including myself). I had moved from DSLRs to micro four thirds and still found myself striving for something more creative and challenging. For that,…

5 Frames… Of Fantôme Kino ISO 8 with a Nikon F3 (35mm Format / EI 8 / Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI-S)
Since I returned to regular use of film, I have been keen to try different cameras and the films now available. KosmoFoto Mono 100 was a successful experiment and I now use this often. I have tried several films with low ISO, starting with ILFORD Pan F Plus and later their Ortho Plus, both with…
