Today, we review the roll and critique my photos. 

Self critique is an extremely important part of being an artist. Looking at your own work and identifying what you like and don’t like, what’s visually appealing to you is how you grow and how you find your specific voice as an artist. 

This wraps up shooting your first roll. What do you want to see next? Should I discuss affordable options for shooting digital? Equipment you may want to have for a shoot? Alternative processes like Cyanotype or Gum Bichromate?

Let me know what type of material you want to see!

Developing! 

Honestly developing film is one of my favorite parts of photography, it’s really magical how you take this canister of film you haven’t gotten to look at, put it in some liquids for like 25 minutes and then magically, at the end, there are these negatives and some of them are good but some of them suck.

After a lot of set backs as far as time goes, I’ll finally be posting the developing film video this evening!

In this episode, I demonstrate loading and then shooting a roll of 35mm black and white film in my SLR.  Next up is developing and scanning, then I’ll move on to discussing things like composition using the images shot on this roll.

In this video I talk about the three parameters that make a photograph in your camera, you ISO, or sensitivity to light, Shutter Speed, or how fast your camera captures the light coming into your  camera and Aperture, or the size of the opening that light passes through to your image plane.

I had been intending on writing up articles but I’ve decided instead that I’m going to shoot videos on different subjects. 

For this first video, I discuss some different cameras and types of camera, as well as briefly mention different film formats. If there’s a specific topic you’d like me to cover please let me know and I’ll add it to my list of video topics!
