Develop your OWN Black and White Film.. PLEASE!!

Yeah I shoot film a lot. I love the grain and detail it gives. I know that you can filter and muck around with digital to give the same feel, but why not go to the real thing straight away. 

The sad thing is that so many people have moved away from film, the art is being lost. for like $20-$50 you can get all the chemical and things you need to be able to develop a roll of black and white film yourself!!

I can guarantee it's tons more fun doing this yourself at home. Not only actually taking the photo, but doing the development yourself!! This is where the "art" of photography has fallen down over the years. Please click this pdf by Ilford Photo and do yourself a favor, learn a new technique and have more photographic fun!! 

Erik Johansson - Photographer or Digital Artist?

There is always a lot of discussion on where and what Photoshop should be used for in Photography. There always those that will say that Digital Editing is something that spoils the aesthetics of photography, and there are those that say the medium is just changing and the addition of Digital Enhancement is the modern day version of Dark Room techniques lost in the ether of time..

Where do you stand??

Snow Photography

With winter coming up here in Australia I thought this was apt at this time..

You could practice about anytime with these styled photos.. I think you could get rain to look pretty good with the same ideas..
