I'm Back shooting Film!

Picture
If you can shoot with a TLR, you can shoot with maybe anything.
After seeing the history of Nikon online, fond memories of my first camera as a child came to mind. It was a black film SLR. The camera was a Nikon FE, a hand-me-down from an uncle. So I thought it would be awesome to find and own my original camera. After some research and failed bids on eBay I got my hands on a mint black FE2, an upgraded version of the Nikon FE. This post will mark my shift to back to film photography. It was a rather slow re-learning process but I finally got my workflow set from shooting, selecting a lab to develop film and scanning the film to digital, the most cumbersome step in the process.

t may be worth noting that it wasn't until I read a book then about photography entitled: "The Complete Kodak Book of Photogrphy" that I really started to understand what I was doing from exposure, composition and understanding the tools of photography. Soon after the shutter bug bit. Years go by and I still relish photography, even more so today.

Allow me to introduce the newest members of my photography family.

The mother of all Folding cameras: Zeiss Ikon Super in 120. Also mint but also difficult to shoot...

Nikon FE2 with a MD15 Motor drive attached.

Nikon F100 Film camera with a battery grip. Other than the fact it shoots film, this is arguably the most advanced film camera Nikon has made. Therefore camera functions would be very similar to a modern DSLR.

    The blog is about the Philippines... the less photographed side of it. My hope is that as I develop the series, the story I tell about  trivial  life in the country resonates with its readers. 

    I witnessed these places behind the lens, so be warned about the occasional photography tutelage. ; )
