Analog film photography and cameras

where do people get their images printed (exhibition quality)? Thinking of using printspace as I have heard good things about them and everything is done in-house(printing, mounting, framing).

also can't decide between Fuji Flex or Kodak Metallic...

Been keeping an eye on this thread for a while now and have been insipred to get an XA2 and these are a few of the shots from my first roll. No experience of film before, didn't even know if the camera worked or anything.

Pretty pleased with how they came out, was expecting a slightly more saturated 'lomo' look but I guess that's just the film (cheap fuji 400). Might try some slide film next, or B&W.

Lovely pics. Is that Girona airport?

Working through a few rolls taken in Yorkshire at the weekend. Shot on fuji xperia 400/XA2

Does anyone know of anywhere in London that just develops 35mm and scans straight to CD, with no prints?

most places if you ask them to

if you want it good i'd go to rapid eye on leonard street*

*no E6

Been mentioned a few times here. Eye Culture, Fashion Street, E2. Cheap and cheerful.

That service is even available out in the wilds of Stornoway (but only for colour 35mm)

More from the same set.

Anyone around here got some Portra NC 400 or 160 that I could buy and collect around Victoria/Central London before the weekend? 35mm.

I don't know if you would call it central, but you could try Process Supplies who are in Mount Pleasant.

They are running out of VC/NC Portra, but still show some of both in 160 in stock on their eBay page (would be worth calling first!). Looks like they only have the new 400.

cheers, yes girona.

I think this may be my favourite shot that I've ever taken.

do like that! taken on the xa2?

that next to recyke?

Any ideas on a camera service centre/shop that might have a shutter button for my Nikkormat?? I bought a second body but it has a cable release, no button. Er, London.

that next to recyke?

XA2 aye, and right next to recyke yeah - wouldn't have lasted long on bike tag!

Lovely pics nefarious!

I know some people on here will hate this work but everyone else is posting stuff so here's some of my recent ones.
While I'm happy to hear criticism, please be aware that I am able to take a 'proper photograph" and make a 'proper print' but that wasn't what this was about.

There's more from that set here and more of my general work here if you want to see it.

Jus' saying.

It's hard to tell.

How easy is it to develop your own film? I'd like to be a bit more frivolous when it comes to snapping photos but at a tenner a time to develop, it's an expensive hobby.

Really easy.

You need:

Paterson tank
Thermometer
Measuring jugs (£1 shop)
Measuring cylinder
Dark room or changing bag (changing bag means you can do it anywhere)
Some developer (you only need one but you might end up with about 5 different ones like I did)
Some fixer

The entire shebang can be had for about £20 of eBay or new for about £50.

Cheers boss! I'll look into this.

do it i just spent the last 2 days hand tanking film in my kitchen, its very satisfying.

Also Mechanical Vandal this image is really nice, what was the film camera combo.
(my need to satisfy the camera geek inside)

I'd also add a patterson hose and filter (our water supply here is crappy), and a scanner for your negs

(I keep 2 developers - aculux and rodinal)

Thanks.
That was actually digital.
Sony NEX3 with 16mm pancake.
The set it's part of is a mixture of film (shot on a Pentax Espio Mini and a Ricoh R10) and digital (NEX and a Panasonic Lumix compact).
If you're looking at the set on Flickr the film images have a white border because they are scanned darkroom prints, the digital images are borderless.
None of the film images and hardly any of the digital ones have been cropped.

Edit: Oh fuck, just realised I posted a digital image in the film forum. My brain isn't working.
