A leap back into photography after a few years out, this time with a difference
Before I lost my passion it was all about the mega pixels and sensor size, and I became all consumed with getting "the shot", instead of enjoying the location, the walk, the company, this time however its different, its about the adventure and going back to the beginning, relearning film in 35mm, 120mm medium format and 4x5 large format.
If you enjoy the great outdoors, then this is the channel for you, I offer free walk guides to suit most, photo/walk guide coffee table zines, limited addition photography prints, and photo books
Each print is limited to 50, and will be numbered and signed.

Good video! I don't have my film hand inspected & I have experienced no damage to the film. I only shoot 400 or bellow.

Thanks Ted really appreciate it, I think there is a lot of mixed messages out there about it, scanning technology has moved on massively, but I got caught in the fear of getting it scanned and damaged, I don’t think there is any issue with film below 800 TBH

x-ray scanners are ok - but the new ct-scanners will damage the film

I dont do film photography but I've been thinking of trying it more and more in recent months. And then this video pops up with some good tips that I will keep in mind if I ever do pick up film! Good tips. I hope you enjoyed your holiday!

Thanks AstroMechanic, I love film, I used to shoot only digital but just got to the point of not enjoying the process, but with film I just love it, right from taking the images not knowing if it’s any good or not, developing it myself and the scanning.. I say scanning but secretly that’s my least favourite part of the process.
Even if for whatever reason the shot doesn’t come out I still love it 👍 the only real downside is the cost of film itself, that’s why I shoot a hybrid digital and film 👍
