Film Photography

Colour Negative verses Slide Film (AKA Colour Positive)

When it comes to capturing colour images, photographers have two main options: colour negative film and slide film. Each type of film has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them will depend on the specific needs and goals of each photographer.

Developing Slide Film vs Colour Negative Film

The process of developing colour negative film and slide film is different, and each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. There are significant differences in the chemistry, and development process of colour negative (C-41) vs slide film (E-6). Colour negative film, also known as colour reversal film, is a type of film that captures an image in negative form.

Why is there a red halo effect with Cinestill film?

Cinestill film, a popular motion picture film stock used for still photography, is known for its distinct red halo effect around high-contrast edges in photographs. This phenomenon is a result of several factors, including the film’s anti-halation layer, its high contrast, and the type of developer used in the developing process.

What exactly is dynamic range in photography?

Dynamic range is a crucial concept in photography, and it refers to the range of brightness levels that a camera or film is able to capture. This range encompasses everything from the brightest highlights to the darkest shadows, and it is an important factor to consider when taking photos, as it can have a significant impact on the overall quality of the image.

Why you should start shooting with the Sunny 16 Rule

I tend to think that in photography, a lot of us get way too hung up on things being technically perfect, that we forget the most important thing that really matters: The emotional impact of the image. How the photograph we take, makes someone feel.

Cinestill 50D Film Review

Are you looking for a new way to achieve a cinematic look to your still photos? Cinestill 50D is repackaged Kodak Vision 3 50D (aka Kodak 5203/7203) colour negative motion picture film. Cinestill is buying Vision 3 50D film from Kodak and removing the rem-jet backing which is present on most motion picture films to allow the film to be easily processed by any lab in C-41 chemistry.

Ilford Pan F PLUS 50 35mm Film

Ilford Pan F Plus 50 (50iso black and white film) has a bit of a mouthful of a name, but is probably one of the very best monochorome films out there if you are looking for highly detailed photographs you can print at a large size.

Fuij C200 Film Review

This 200 ISO colour film is inexpensive, the colours are accurate with a bit of vibrance, the film is sharp with minimal grain, and responds reasonably (but not as well as some) to editing. That said, the lack of editing capabilities isn’t really a problem if you just want photos that look right with the available light and you expose it correctly.

I’m a Leica Street photographer. I am, by my own admission a gear nut, but I don’t buy gear just to test it or pixel peep. I’m only interested in the art that can be produced with the gear. And seeing what emotions can be brought out in those who see my photos.
