I loved shooting film (and think the results typically turn out better for me) but recently switched to digital to work on composition and become more experimental with my style. Here's shots some from the last roll of (very much expired) film I shot.
Tamron 90mm 2.8... most likely shot wide open. Timer/Self-portrait. Balanced the camera on the railing of the bench and prayed the shutter actuation wouldn't cause it to fall.
Shot on a road trip across the country (Thanksgiving day). We took a few minutes to stretch in the middle of nowhere.
Yes I know, I know I cut off her arms and legs, but I love the lines in this photo. They draw my eye to her in a very subtle way.
For some reason a select group of people really liked this photo but I can't figure out why...
That's it for now... Until I purchase another film body.
New to the film game, picked up an old Nikon FE2 (some Japanese guy's name and 1985 is tooled in the back) at a local shop on a whim, browsing during a coffee break(!)
Ilford Delta 400, 50 1.2 AIS

Self dev with the Tetenal C41 Kit. I get cans off ebay. There was some 500T for CHEAP (7 cents a foot, ~6 feet per roll), so I HAD to get some. They also had <10 cent per foot 200T, so I have about 1,400 feet left of that. I'm thinking about buying some more, but I currently have 4,700 feet of film...
Wow, sounds interesting. If I weren't so averse to scanning 35mm or color, I'd have a shot at this... Maybe one day.

Do you use a jobo or just a regular setup like for B&W? I've been thinking of trying my hand at developing some color film...
Regular setup like B/W. I just fill the sink with water hot enough to hurt my hand, put the bottles of dev and blix in there, wait a few minutes and start the process. Very easy.
This has to be my favorite thread on FM... But please someone move all those xpan shots off to their own thread so I can browse without fear of GAS....
I shall not buy an x-pan

I have the previous version (a much shorter and pricier PDF version). And it was very, very helpful. I wish I had read it earlier... Are you enjoying it?
