How to Shoot 35mm Film (Story 1)
Film Camera: Canon A1 with a 50mm f/1.4 Canon lens -- FujiColor Superia 200
Video Camera: Canon 5D3 with a 35mm Summicron F2 (1970) Leica lens
This is our first STORY in our new Snippet/Story style and we are so very excited to share it with you.
This week we tried to weave the beautiful experience of film photography with a bit of a how-to-video with the hopes of inspiring you to get out and capture your environment.
The entire experience of shooting film from choosing your film stock, to manually loading the film, to the sexy sound of winding the film after each photo, well it all just begs you to slow down, to focus on the moment at hand, and take it all in and then... the most important part... to stay present. No checking how the photo turned out, no re-taking the selfie, not even the need to see how many likes it got. Nope, a film camera gives you the luxury of hoping that you captured the moment and letting that be enough.
And while I can go on and on about the lessons that film has already taught me - and this was just my first roll ! - the main thing that making this story taught me is how lucky I am to have a partner as patient and thoughtful as Lou! His work ethic is unlike anyone I have ever met and the passion he pours into creating these beautiful moments each week never ceases to amaze me.
I'm grateful for this week's video for reminding me of time spent: hanging at second hand camera stores, capturing special moments with dear friends, and enjoying perfect moments of summer when you feel surrounded by love.

Film Photography - Slowing down with 35mm
Rather than rattle off lots of frames casually I decided to adopt a much more careful approach to a shoot with my 35mm Nikon. Working in the same way as a medium format camera I carefully setup each scene and maximised the quality available with the small format.

How to shoot 35mm Film (A Non-Pretentious Guide)
I love teaching friends and family how to shoot film, but let’s be honest, I’m the least concise person I know, and sending a link is more efficient than explaining how to shoot film 100 different times to 100 different people. I’ve been shooting film a while now and these are my tips/ simplified guide on how to get started for yourself! Some ppl make film intimidating and it’s really not! Its a ton of fun and want you to join in.
There are plenty more things I would have loved to include in this, but it would have been too long. Are there going to be times when certain things I said in this video don’t really apply?! OF COURSE. For instance, yeah, sometimes you’re going to be on your lowest f stop and have your SS be 3 full seconds for a night time exposure. These are awesome and creative exceptions, but quite frankly, information that would bog down people who are just at the beginning of their film journey!
If you are a film know-it-all and you’ve come here to fight in the comments about how much more than me you know, please leave. This is not the space for that. I am not the film master and you are not the film master. We all have a ton to learn from one another and your fragile ego is something that is not going to get applauded here. With that bein SAID, welcome everyone, new or well-versed :)
Comment any questions you have! Or things you would want in another video. I'll do my best! There are plenty of other awesome tutorials on youtube that might have different pointers/perspectives than I have here so it’s worth a shot to look around and see what works best for you :)

Fine Art Photography and Why I shoot 35mm Film
fat-creative.com
A behind the scenes story of the process involved to my Fine Art photography. I use bulk cinema film. With a bulk loader and empty film cassettes I make a 36 exposure rolls of 35mm film. I use several different kinds of film and that's why all my film rolls are labelled and it becomes part of the process to prepare and organise the film stock. I develop negatives myself in the studio, both colour and black and white and then I scan and archive them-this process is the reason why I fell in love with film.

Film Photography - Make Big Prints from 35mm Film
Following on from an earlier video on making large prints from 35mm film I decided to repeat the process but this time use B&W film with prime lenses.
The process was largely the same as before but this time I wanted to control all the variables including the large print so I opted to make as big a panoramic as possible on my Epson 3880.
I think I would use a solvent developer next time such as Xtol or ID11 to cut down the grain slightly. An optical enlargement would be a lot smoother but less sharp.
Equipment Used:
Nikon FG
50mm Ais Nikkor
Fuji Acros
Velbon Rexi L tripod
Kodak HC-110 Developer
Scanning:
Minolta Elite 5400
Vuescan software
Vlogging Equipment:

How To Use 35mm Film In A Medium Format Camera (Tutorial + Street Photography Test)
In this video, I use 35mm Portra 400 in my medium format Ricohflex TLR camera. This is the first time. I use 35mm film in a medium format camera and I was really stoked to see the results. My Ricohflex pulls 120 films from the bottom up vertically and makes a 55mmx55mm image. So when I put in 35mm Portra 400 in the camera, I was able to create these long vertical images with an aspect ratio of 34mmx55mm.
You can find the 35mm adapter to use in medium format cameras here:
I wasn't expecting to love the compositions on this 34mmx55mm exposure but I sure do. Normally 35mm film is 24mm on the short side but in this case, it's 34mm because the exposure goes to the very edge.
If you use a medium format camera that pulls film from left to right, then you can make long panoramic images. Medium format cameras will have different aspect ratios like 4.5x5.5, 6x7, 6x6, and even 6x9 or 6x12. So depending on the camera you are using, you will need to figure out how many exposures you will have and how to compose your images while using 35mm film in a medium format camera.
You can use an adapter to keep the film in place, or you can throw your film straight into your camera as I did.
I love how this long vertical aspect ratio turned out and I'm very pleased with the compositions. I think it's different from what we're used to seeing yet it is very pleasing to the eye. This would make great screen savers on a phone as they match the long vertical orientation.
My favorite 35mm film to use:

London 35mm Film Shoot - Portraits of Strangers (Snippet 20)
Every roll of 35mm film I shoot on our Canon A-1 turns into an adventure. I try to think up goals for each roll, whether it's capturing a new city, or focusing on light, or my consistent goal of getting things in focus!! Well, this roll was a mix of a bunch of things and hope you stick around through the whole video because the second half gets interesting as we take to the street and start talking up strangers in London :)
Ever since our first film video where I took portraits of a bunch of our friends here in Berlin, I've been wanting to do more of just that - getting in front of people and trying to capture the energy of the moment. While I am still getting my feet underneath me as a hobby photographer, this was such a fun way to push my limits.
And for this week's question for the lovely souls who read these video descriptions: What is something this year that you've done that was out of your comfort zone??
