Hi everyone I am off to Asia next week cycling from Saigon in Vietnam to Angkor *** in Cambodia. I have two Canon A1 cameras and I would like a few opinions if possible. I have bought quite a few rolls loads of Kodak TRI X 400, would you take one body and a 4ND filter or two bodies, one...

Puggie, Thanks for the reply and sorry to sound like a total idiot. So say I use 100asa during the day and take 15 shots and want to change to 400ASA come the evening, rewind the film back to the start noting on the counter what number I'm on, take the film out and put my other film in and...

I've never used an ND filter, I'm starting to think it might be easier to take two bodies, one loaded with a 100ASA film for during the day and one with a 400ASA film for low light

With Kodak TRI-X 400, if it is very sunny during the day and I can't get a shutter speed quick enough to correctly expose the image could I change the ISO on the camera and expose at 200 ASA to avoid overexposure, effectively underexposing a stop to compensate?

Thanks for all the replies guys, I am pretty tempted to take quite a few rolls of kodak TRI X 400. Sorry to keep asking questions but do you think this film will be suitable for use during the day or will I almost certainly need a lower ASA film?? I'm using a Canon A1, fastest shutter...

Hi all Can anyone suggest some good 35mm black and white film for street photography and portraits? i will be in Asia in a few weeks where it will likely be sunny. Also suggestions for a good 35mm film to use for the same purposes but in lower light, indoors, evening, night. Lastly...

Thanks again for the replies I think I'll do some research on filters and once I've decided what film I intend to use I'll pick up a couple of filters. any further tips for mytrip would be greatly appreciated Cheers Dan

Cheers for the replies guys. If I am using 100 ASA film and happen to end up taking a few shots outside in the middle of the day (street shots/portrait shots) whilst its really sunny would you recommend I use a filter?? I'm assuming an ND filter and can I use anyone or is there one you...

Thanks for the replies, I am going to Asia for a few weeks and would like to do some general street photography/people photography at night using available light only as I'm not taking a flash. Hope this helps with suggestions for film, I appreciate a high ASA may be a tad grainy and I dont...

What film would you recommend for night photography?? I dont have a flash so will only be using available light if this is possible. I havent done any night photography before on a film camera so all suggestions and any tips welcome Thanks Dan

Guys, If I shoot some film and get it developed, can I then scan the negatives so I can adjust shadows and highlights etc in Photoshop before having the shots that I like printed????

Hi Guys, I am cycling from Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam to Angkor *** in Cambodia in a few weeks time. I am taking my CANON A1 35mm film camera with me and have set myself the task of taking 50 portraits of local people I meet along the way. I haven't done any portrait photography and very...

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a while. I've had my canon 450 DSLR for just over a year now and I have just bought a Canon A1 because i eally want to get involved in shooting film. I know nothing about developing or processing film and would like a few pointers please. Ideally I...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the responses, The more I think about this the more I'm thinking I don't actually need to photograph the subject at all. I have listed down lots of my mates charecteristics and I am now thinking about ways to convey those things in an image but I am back in class on...

Hi Guys, I have just started a 4 week part time course (3 hours, once a week) to learn a bit about how to create a picture story. The course is being taught by a working documentary photographer. As part of this weeks homework I have been given the task of describing someone I know in 6...
