I get Black +White Photography, and for what I like to do its excellent. Not too many adverts, plenty of info on all sorts, Opportunity's to get your own work published. Lots of content from past and present photographers.

I will have to ask next time I am at the club, I have entered scanned analogue photographs before but it was in a portfolio exercise. At the time I did say that they were film photographs, and the president was totally happy with that. But that was just a fun night to show things we had been doing.

I use a SLR at times, and I am happy so far with the results, not perfect but happy. So I send the film away to be processed, they do the processing and scan, then send me Jpegs that I can edit as I please. Now although the photographs were taken on film, are they now considered digital? I ask...

Very interesting and full of inspiration, thank you

That looks fantastic, I have the patterson tank etc. Haven't used it so far but on the verge, I am going to look into this method. I am assuming that you just add the chemicals in the much the same manner to your machine as I would to the Patterson tank.

That is great, and encouraging me to get a move on with my film photography. Can I ask, what is Lab Box ?

Bought a couple of vintage cameras, opened one and it had a film in it.

I have attached a yellow filter to my SLR, and will tomorrow or the next day go out and do a roll of film through it. We will see, I am very close to processing my own films, and not too far away from getting my second hand enlarger and other equipment working and producing. Never done this...

I am now doing more film photography. Take the photograph, send it away, get it processed and scanned, receive the scans and negatives. Do some basic edits and post them on here. So when I edit them on my edit program I don't really have as much choice as when I use digital. One aspect is the...

I know all these things are what I as a beginner raises my awareness with camera equipment. Undoubtedly feel a lot better now about things and just keep clicking away and concentrating on the photograph rather than the camera. Total enjoyment learning and failing at times doing all this things...

I have taken this with a DSLR a few times now, but this is the first time with the SLR. Always struggle with the sky, but as we look at the bus stop we are looking east. I might get there in a late afternoon instead of early morning and take a shot then. Beach Bus Stop.
