It just looks the best. Porta 400 looks amazing in any light. HP5 is gritty and edgy. It’s just too expensive and the workflow takes too much time for me. If I was a landscape or portrait photographer, I’d most definitely shoot film. But I shoot everyday. Usually at least 50 photos. I couldn’t afford it or spend the time it takes to process the photos. It’s May 5th and I have 115 keepers in my May folder. That would be roughly $60 at the least. I’d be on pace to spend $400 this month on film.
just slow down when you use film. I don’t use it for everything but know exactly when to take my film camera out of my bag 😉
True enough. Slow isn’t really my style though. I don’t like the workflow either. It’s takes too long to go from A to Z. I’m a millennial. I need things now! 🙂
when i say slow – i mean not to finish the whole roll in the same hour :-)))) im also a very fast shooter but never take the same frame again and again. if i dont sure, i just go.
i’m talking more develop and processing…then you have to scan and organize the negatives. I still have about 30 rolls of negatives I need to organize from last year. when I shot film, I’d go through a roll in about 3 days on normal days.
i see. i have a few hundreds 🤣🤣🤣 seems like i packed until the END 😉 but the real joy is the process of photography. sometimes (or mostly when on film) without knowing if i got something at the end.
yes. when i had my m3, it was the most fun i’ve had shooting film 🙂
at least you’re not Z 🤣🤣🤣🤣
