This week’s featured article is an interview with Nate Johnson, creator of a Lightroom plug-in called Negative Lab Pro.  If you’ve ever scanned color film using a flatbed scanner and haven’t been pleased with the quality, perhaps you’ve tried digitizing the images yourself using a digital camera. But if you’ve…

This week’s featured article is an excellent piece on EMULSIVE by Kelly-Shane Fuller who if you’ve been following film photography sites, you know as the guy trying to reverse engineer Kodachrome. For those who wonder what the big deal is, Kodachrome was a very popular and very complicated color slide…

I’ve been a busy little bee lately.  Between regular reviews and Keppler’s Vault articles here, shooting and developing rolls of film for upcoming reviews, and everyday responsibilities, earlier in April, my friend James from Casual Photophile reached out to a bunch of camera bloggers and myself asking for a short…

I haven’t posted a Recommended Reading post since June of last year as they were taking longer and longer to research and write and I was falling behind on the site’s primary content.  But with an extra bit of time on my hands and a plethora of fantastic posts that…

Last week, Alex Luyckx gave us a post called “Don’t Drink the Rodinal (Part 1)” in which he covered various black and white developers with a bit of history, tips, and sample images.  For as good as that post was, he didn’t actually cover Rodinal, or my favorite B&W developer,…

There are those who have strong preferences for film over digital and vice versa.  I am one of the rare people in the middle that appreciate both pretty equally, but when it comes to sharpness, saturation, and flexibility, digital usually wins for me. Of course the purpose of film isn’t…

This week’s featured post covers something I do so often, it’s almost automatic, cleaning, storing and repairing classic cameras! Of course, how someone repairs a classic camera is up to much debate as the methods that I often employ on my $10 estate sale finds are not what a life…

This week’s featured post comes to us from Chris Hunter at EMULSIVE, and is a very creative project combining two very different aspects of photography.  Pinhole cameras, and selfies. What started out as a bit of poking fun at the “selfie generation” turned into cans of Campbell’s soup taking pictures…

This week’s featured post comes from my good friend Theo Panagopoulos at photothinking.com, and is a review of a camera at, or near the top of mine, and probably every collector’s wish list.  The Hasselblad XPan. Built to shoot true panoramic 65mm x 24mm exposures on regular 35mm film without…

This week’s featured review is an in depth look at shooting Polaroid Originals (Impossible Project) SX-70 film.  This is a topic that’s very interesting to me as I have and have shot some of this film, and have been pretty underwhelmed to say the least. Knowing the experimental nature of…

This week’s featured post covers a topic I struggle with almost daily!  Should I shoot color or black and white?  Sure, there are times when the choice is obvious.  A cold day in the middle of winter is perfect for a high contrast black and white film, and a springtime…

In my featured post of the week, Ludwig Hagelstein from EMULSIVE writes a gloriously in depth review of the legendary Pentacon Six TL.  A monster of a medium format SLR that has a design reminiscent of the Kochmann Reflex-Korelle from the 1930s.  Weighing in at over 1360 grams, this monster…
