A Conversation between Film Soupers Amy Berge and Jen Stamps – By Holly Gilman April 16, 2021
In this article I have the absolute pleasure of talking to Amy Berge and Jen Stamps. I discovered both of these photographers whilst researching the idea of souping film as they have each written articles for Shoot It With Film on the topic (and more besides!). When I reached out to each of them for […]

Shooting Praktica MTL 5 B Found in a “Mine” with Expired Tri-X – By Jordi Fradera April 15, 2021
I would never have thought I was living right on top of a “mine of cameras”. I knew of the love of photography in my neighbour Alvar who lives in the apartment below, so one day I asked him if he had any old cameras I could play with. The answer was yes. The post […]

Finding Our Way Into A New World – A Single Photo a Day Project – By Dustin Neikirk April 15, 2021
As is likely true for many of us, I left 2020 with a bit of hope for the new year and in search of an opportunity to make something of 2021. Before the year was over, I landed on a project idea intended to inspire creativity through limitation and reinforce, within myself, an effort to […]

My Approach to Portrait Photography on Film – By Ken Wagner April 14, 2021
It is common today that women are photographed sexy and slightly undressed to attract attention to the subject, photographer or both. There is so much of this sort of photography that it has almost become kind of disposable art, with a viewing time of only 1-3 seconds. In the best-case scenario, the model gets a […]

A DIY Solution for 110 / 16mm Film Developing – Take the Tube – By Bob Janes April 13, 2021
In a recent post on 35mmc, I talked about shooting with 110 film in the second decade of the 21st century and highlighted some challenges involved in shooting the format. While I got some decent results from my cut-down Kaiser reels, I got the impression that the grooves in the reels were obstructing development of […]

Foma:52 – Week 14 – Upon Avon April 14, 2021
We start this week with high school English. I don’t know about you, but English seemed to love the topic of Shakespeare. Don’t get me wrong. Shakespeare is brilliant but way over analysed by the average high school student, but what does that have to do with photography? One of my first favourite historical downtowns […]

Film Review Blog No. 70 – Lomography Babylon 13 April 12, 2021
One of the film community’s biggest photography trends is the use of speciality motion picture films for regular photographic applications. You saw the rise in popularity in films such as Eastman 2238 and Fuji 4791. Well, Lomography jumped onto the bandwagon with a pair of releases last year. Both were rerolled films from Filmotec/ORWO.

Remembering Cobalt April 9, 2021
It was May 2009; I was on a road trip with three friends to explore the wealth of abandoned buildings up in Northern Ontario. Our previous night’s plans of camping out at a mine further north skunked by cold weather and the inability to hide our car safely. But that didn’t matter; we found a […]

Alstroemeria’s on Portra – A Still Life April 13, 2021
As mentioned in previous articles, Kelsey often buys me a bouquet of flowers with our groceries that I use in still life shoots. In particular, she likes to buy Alstroemerias because they last a really long time and come in different colors. This particular bouquet was red and white, so I thought Alstroemeria’s on Portra… […]

Lomography Color Negative 400 – the Saturated Sister of Portra? April 6, 2021
Lately I have found myself increasingly reaching for color film rather than black and white.

Plus it’s spring and there are so many colors popping around me, so in this article I am going to… […]

A Brief History of Photography By Objects – 12 – Fishing Rod Reel ~1860 February 18, 2021

That process would also revolutionise photography putting it in mass reach for the first time. It also allowed for the birth of the motion picture […]

Petal Camera January 11, 2021

Then there was the other end. The 007 spy style camera was coming from Minox. As […]

An Odd Length; Voigtländer 75mm 2.5 Heliar March 2, 2021
Most prime lens SLR kits are a 28-50-85 or 135. Most rangefinder kits are a 28 or 35-50-90. 75mm is an odd focal length. I don’t think it’s even available for SLR’s and most rangefinder shooters fall on the side of either 50 or 90 – the distinction between normal and portrait focal lengths. 75. […]
