I had shot film photos for years with my mum's old Pentax SLR but I really didn't know what I was doing. After working as a professional photographer for a few years with digital camera's I decided it was time for me to start learning how the old masters plied their craft. I bought myself a Mamiya 645 afd medium format camera and started going at it, and to my surprise I found that I really enjoy shooting film.
It's a really cool experience to be able to make photos on an analogue platform, to realize that the image you are capturing is being physically burned onto a strip of celluloid that is coated in a concoction of chemistry that reacts to light.
I have been going through some of my film photos and I think I'm going to do a regular post on Steemit relating to them, shooting film, how I learned to process and scan my own photos, and the general experience of learning the old school ways.
To start off with here are some photos I took using my Mamiya 645 afd, an 80mm f2.8 lens, and a roll of Kodak TriX 120 film. There's a little bit of everything here, from nature to street to a few wedding photos I took.
Hope you like them, and if you want to see more be sure to toss me an up vote and follow my Steemit posts!
