New year project.

[John Mc]

So, ive been thinking this last few weeks, I've not done anything this year regards to a project. And I was thinking, I should do something this year. So I was thinking, It should be one shot, one day. But instead of it being digital, it should be on film. My plan will be to dedicate a film camera and lenses to this project. What do people think? Im thinking, good plan. But it's Christmas day and I'm drunk, soo. Yeah, give me your guys opinions

Sounds like a plan John
Not being a film shooter myself I do wonder about the logistics of your project. Being film, you would obviously have to shoot the roll to avoid wastage, therefore how would the one shot a day work in practice? Shoot say a months worth of images, develop film and see what you've got would mean always being a month in arrears with the project Just my initial thoughts on this. Good luck! Iain

I'm not sure how I'd work it just yet, but I've got a few days! Considering developing my own film as I have the ability and printing my monthly work. But we shall see

I had a theory like that but getting film developed is quite hard and quite expensive now but it is great. Miss my EOS 5!

It's not at all, most tesco's develop c41 for 99p. For a proper lab to do it, it's only around 3.00. Having said that doing it at home is much easier than people think.

Thanks for the posts, I'm still thinking up how I would go about doing it. But I'm thinking of the film being black and white. Making it easy for me to dev. And either using one type throughout, which means one set of chemicals and time to process. or changing the type and brand throughout each month. There's pro's and con's to each option. Which I shall write down when I'm at home soon. But primarily plan on starting with Ilford delta 400. If I decide to go for the one type, this is what I'll be using throughout the year and I'll just bulk buy a few rolls of it.
