Film: Not as simple as sticking it in.

As a new film using photographer. I think one of the first things to think about once you have your camera in hand, is what to put into it. Easy answer, film ya twat! Well, not so easy as it turns out. Walk into the store and take a look at the film counter. Depending on where you go, there may be many different films. You will probably see a few different boxes of 35mm film. Let's assume you have ventured into an actual camera store, or a film site like this or this. Now we will talk about the films you might run across.

The Beginnings of a Photographer

I am always looking for that new hobby. Whether it be the peaceful joys of fishing or the excitement of sky diving. I am always searching or something. Almost a year ago today I discovered a new hobby. Not the most exciting, and certainly not the cheapest. But one of the most rewarding hobbies I have found yet. That hobby is of course photography. I had seen photos all my life from "professional photographers" but had never really had the desire to go out and take pictures. I really did not feel comfortable with the idea of taking pictures of things and people. After all, who wants some punk kid with a camera bothering you? I came across something different though, the art of night photography. I loved the images and I loved the idea that I could go alone and be alone. I had to get into that. Now, I wasn't interested in picking up my cheap point and shoot and going out into the world. Oh no, I was doing night photography, I needed something better. I needed to look professional.
