Sheep herder near the Czech-Slovak border. Unfortunately, this feature seems to have died out with the move to mirrorless. If you want to use a different camera, you will have to do the conversion from negative to positive manually in post-processing (although even that is nothing you can’...
You can find the Kentmere 400 data sheethere, Ilford’s main processing charthere, and the Kentmere films on the Massive Dev Charthere. Where to buy Kentmere Pan 400 If there’s a photography shop near you that sells film, it’s very possible they’ll have Kentmere 400. Remember, it wa...
I have often romanticized about a return to film, but processing costs in my area are prohibitive. For me 6x9 is significantly larger than 6x6 or 6x7 and with the same image ratio as 35mm film, far more appropriate for landscapes and architecture. I would specifically consider the Fuji GSW...
Another short piece made from a single jpeg of Manglewurzels in which three overlapping crops of the image are looped and repeated. What’s interesting to me is the way the image continues to appear to develop or change (the distinction between change and develop in itself raises interesting ...
Black-and-White Processing return to top Unlike color, you can do this well yourself, or send it to a real B/W lab. Many pro labs claim to do B/W film, however most of them just process all B/W films the same and if you dislike the results blame it on you. ...
Think of something that had its heyday in the 1980s, continued to do well in the 1990s, survived the 2000s, and is still around today albeit at nowhere near the level it once was. When you look at it like that, Kodak Gold 200 is like the Ford Escort of films. It’s pretty much...
in the tradition I had learned on, including manual corrected guiding with a reticle eyepiece. At that time I was still raising a family, which meant keeping everything economical. I had pristine skies, and a passion to complete the work, but only enough funds for film and processing. ...
DE: We touched on the film manufacturers earlier, but I want to hear a bit more on that topic. You mentioned in passing at one point, I think in another interview, that film is gradually disappearing and the processing for them as well. You mentioned that you might work with film manufa...
Bombay, Istanbul, London, and back to New York. (The camera was X-rayed twice at airports along the way.) McCurry’s final stop, on July 12, 2010:Dwayne’s Photo, inParsons, Kansas—the only lab on Earth that still developed Kodachrome—which halted all such processing in late December...
Ideally I’d have darkroom and do contact sheets on a regular basis, but I’m not counting on that happening in the near future. This hybrid processing-in-the-sink-then-scanning process has done me well for over ten years now.
