Film Photography

[kydlatmijares]

^Hi!
for 5 rolls of 36 shots each, P275 (mala-mala). thats developing, scanning and transfering to CD pa lang. ibang cost yung actual printing.

That's pretty cool if youre gonna use your pics sa internet because straight to jpegs na. Tas kung gusto mo ng hard copy, pa-print mo na lang din sa kanila. i think mga 4-7 pesos each, depending on the print size.

sorry for the crappy prints. experimental stage pa lang eh.
i'm still re-learning film.

holga 135 bc with a cheap ykl asa 100 film.

[kydlatmijares]

grains baby!

[kydlatmijares]

testing lang ng double exposures.

hmm...medyo agree ako about the animosity of the thread against digital cameras, but at the same time agree din ako sa ibang sinabi dito.. labo noh?

saka ko na lang papaliwanag at mahaba-habang post yun.

i'm a photographer who uses both mediums.

my film cameras include a rolleicord, mamiyas and a point and shoot "panoramic" camera na nabili ko sa isang surplus store.

hi..
gusto ko sana matuto ng photography (kahit pasmado, hehe).. oks ba na sa hoga ako magstart?.. mura kasi e.. ano ba mga dapat i-check kung magtitingin ng 2nd hand na manual slr?.. salamats..

hello!

kung talagang beginner ka, (yung as in wala pang experience sa cameras), Holga may not be the right one for you. Kasi halos walang settings na ma-kakalikot sa Holga. Isa lang ang shutter speed nya. Isa lang ang aperture nya.

Better kung makakakuha ka ng camera na mas maraming ma-kakalikot na settings. That way, you'll learn more about different lighting variables through experimenting.

Or, kung meron kang digicam, kahit point and shoot lang, dun ka muna magpractice before going to film para mejo makatipid ka.

a oks.. salamats..

I have a little bit of problem with my black and white films. I didn't realize na sobrang konti na lang pala ng shops na nagdedevelope ng black and whites. hehe..

Another good reason to re-consider film photography...

Archiving

When choosing between film and digital formats, one may need to consider the suitability of each as an archival medium.

Films and prints processed and stored in ideal conditions have demonstrated an ability to remain substantially unchanged for more than 100 years. Gold or platinum toned prints probably have a lifespan limited only by the lifespan of the base material, probably many hundreds of years.

The archival potential of digital photographs is less well understood since digital media have existed for only the last 50 years. There exist three problems which must be overcome for archival usage: physical stability of the recording medium, future readability of the storage medium and future readability of the file formats used for storage.

Many digital media are not capable of storing data for prolonged periods of time. For example, magnetic disks and tapes may lose their data after twenty years, flash memory cards even less. Good quality optical media may be the most durable storage media for digital data.

It is important to consider the future readability of storage media. Assuming the storage media can continue to hold data for prolonged periods of time, the short lifespan of digital technologies often causes the drives to read media to become unavailable. For example, the first 5¼-inch Floppy disks were first made available in 1976. However, the drives to read them are already extremely rare just 30 years later.

It must also be considered whether there still exists software which can decode the data. For example, many modern digital cameras save photographs in JPEG format. This format has existed for only around 15 years. Whether it will still be readable in a century is unknown, although the huge number of JPEG files currently being produced will surely influence this issue.

Most professional cameras can save in a RAW image format, the future of which is much more uncertain. Some of these formats contain proprietary data which is encrypted or protected by patents, and could be abandoned by their makers at any time for simple economic reasons. This could make it difficult to read these 'raw' files in the future, unless the camera makers were to release information on the file formats.

However, digital archives have several methods of overcoming such obstacles. In order to counteract the file format problems, many organizations prefer to choose an open and popular file format. Doing so increases the chance that software will exist to decode the file in the future.

Additionally many organizations take an active approach to archiving rather than relying on formats being readable decades later. This takes advantage of the ability to make perfect copies of digital media. So, for example, rather than leaving data on a format which may potentially become unreadable or unsupported, the information can typically be copied to newer media without loss of quality. This is only possible with digital media.

i got myself the diana+ dreamer and picked up some colored and b&w film today. i have yet to try it and excited already how everything will turn out.

if things go well with this one, i'm gonna get holga 135.

anyhoo, here she is:

Wow! so cute! parang candy!

Goodluck with your shoot.

and post them please =)

my first post! hehe

how about the kids born after film cameras were phased out? they know nothing about film and what it's all about.

when the great ansel adams was still alive, he himself admitted that the future of photography is going to be, in his own term, electronic.

hi! welcome to this thread.

i don't think mape-phase out totally ang film cameras.
like what happened to the pagers, betamax, LDs, cassette tapes, etc.

It can co-exist with digital world =)

dahil tamad ako:

LOMO BABY LOMO

hehehe. proud holga owner here.

[Sadik]

meron ba kayo na alam na film photography class para sa beginner?

[kydlatmijares]

^scanned negatives =)

[kydlatmijares]

From an old film na nahalungkat ko sa lumang bahay.
My college photography class negatives. Circa 1997-98.
Nung panahon na baby pa lang ang photoshop...
wala pang digi cams...
chambahan ang mga kuha...
at bawat pindot ng shutter, may kasamang dasal.
Ang saya!
