Frame 01: Nikon F100, 85mm f\/1.4D<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve always enjoyed shooting Kodak BW400CN film.\u00a0 Although it is not a “true” black and white film, it can be developed as C-41, meaning you can drop it off at Walgreens, or any of the few remaining places that still develop film.\u00a0 I did the math, and it is about $.50 a shot, not factoring in what type of film gear you are using\/paying off.\u00a0 It’s just a different tool and different mentality shooting like this again.\u00a0 Cameras are pretty much computers these days, and we recklessly hold down the button in hopes of getting every dollars worth out of it.\u00a0 Hard to say which really costs more in the long run.\u00a0 I shoot film mostly because the gradations for skin tones in low light are just nicer.\u00a0 Plus these are my personal fun shoots, and the film captures images that one can look at for a long time.<\/p>\n

I usually get at least one or two keepers out of a roll of 24 exposures.\u00a0 When you think about it, that’s actually a pretty good ratio compared to digital.\u00a0 I don’t have to spend so much time on the computer either.\u00a0 The developed image comes out, you live with it and move on.\u00a0 Digital photography is like writing on the computer.\u00a0 You can compose, backspace, see your work in real time.\u00a0 Film is just a specific tool designed to get one thing done, create images that have a bit more soul in them.<\/p>\n

Even this scanning mistake by the operator made for an interesting image.<\/p>\n

Frame 21: Nikon F100, 85mm f\/1.4D<\/p><\/div>\n

Below are examples of how I usually “scan” my film, which is basically shooting the film strobist style with the 105mm Micro VR.\u00a0 Doing it this way I can recover the highlights, and process the image just like any other RAW file, even producing different black and white flavors.\u00a0 The Walgreens scans are 1800 x 1200, which is about 2 megapixels.\u00a0 Even when down sampled for my journal the images still look great, because of the difference between the film scanners and the normal sensors in every digital camera (blurring filters).<\/p>\n
