My very first photograph captured on 35mm
This was the first photo I’ve ever taken in 35mm film. I had have interest in photography and filmmaking for the past 4 and half year but only shot digitally. Never had I thought about shooting analog, until my friend Sam (featured in this photo) introduced me to it. I haven’t used my digital camera ever since.
Sam had just showed me how to load a film camera. He emphasized the fact that one should be conservative with her light-sensitive material, as it is costly! This might explain the red streak, as we didn’t crank the film before closing the gate.

Beautiful photo
Thank you very much, I really appreciate! @deftao
These is so interesting and photo is so good.
Can you tell me more about analog photography? So you scanned this photo or what?
Thank you @cave-man ! Analog photography, uses a light-sensitive material which, when exposed properly to the right amount of light, is able to capture our three-dimensional world on its two-dimensional surface. Now because the material is sensitive to light, it has to be processed chemically to reveal the image and to remove all the silver halides, making it safe for your negative to be handled under ambiant light. You can then scan your negative to have a digital file like I did.
I hope it answers your question, I wasn't sure which part of analog photography you wanted me to tell you about !
This i know about it. Thanks.
What i meant was how do you know if shots came out good and how do you digitize them for posting? And do you find lens for them? Sort of things.
Got you ! To know if the shot is good: there’s a light meter in your viewfinder. You have to trust it and put your subjects where you want them to be. It doesn’t mean always putting them in the middle (middle grey). Sometimes you’d want them underexposed because you want them silhouetted for example.
You can also tell if you didn’t mess up by looking at the density in your negative. When properly exposed, you should have a good amount of silver where the light hit (bright areas of the photo) and less in the shadows.
But there’s really no way to know how it came out until you develop, as you can change the final result during the processing (push and pull).
To digitize them: there are film scanner you can rent, or bring your negatives to film labs.
Lenses: you can use all manual lenses (where you can change the aperture on the barrel) of your camera brand, and even more if you use a mount adapter. The only lenses you can’t use are the automatic ones that control aperture through an electronic signal (when you control it on your camera). Hope it helps ! :)
Thanks man. Viewfinder thing is something that i also do myself even in digital photography but every other thing is amazing to know about.
My pleasure!
