How much film can I fly with (in country) without it setting off the scanners or being bomb-worthy?
Yes I Googled before I asked and the answers weren't consistent.
It doesn't set off scanners, it get's ruined by scanners.
Lower speed films can handle a pass or two, but eventually the radiation will fog it up. This happens much faster in higher speed films. Just tell them you have film, and they'll hand inspect it. They take it out of any packaging, but they won't ruin/expose any of it.
I will be collecting my first film roll tomorrow. -giddy- :D
I have only shot one roll of film but I prefer it to digital.
Theres something different about not knowing how it turned out until its developed.

That squirrel is absolutely sublime! They're all amazing but particularly the squirrel and the book
I think that after shooting roughly 70 rolls of film in the last 9 months or so, a lot of the wonder and weirdness of film has worn off for me. I love seeing you guys experience the wonder and amazement of using film for the first time(s), it makes me remember of when I first started out nearly a year ago, and all of the wonder and amazement that i went through then. I have found that my attitude towards has progressively become more passive, film is no longer that 'special part' of photography, it's how I do photography.
I think for me (contrary to what B-Hazard zealots on about) starting with digital was a big benefit, the instant feedback to switch up your settings and learning what works and what doesn't really helped. After that was solid moving to film helped me stylistically, and because I already had the technical stuff down there were less wasted frames.
I love using film, and for me using film is almost like an alternative to using a Canon or Nikon DSLR (metaphorically). I'm not going to try to push my style upon others, but I'm happy to help people that need it when they step into my area of knowledge.
I'm on both yours and b-hazard's side when it comes to digital vs film first. So long as you treat digital as a [i]learning tool[/i] and understand that it's helping with that feedback and allowing you to make mistakes and correct them, it's great. If you're just the "yay my mom gave me a rebel I'm a professional now" kinda kid who just sees everything that falls out of it to be magic because you can shoot forever and pick the ones you like, you're not appreciating that care taken with every shot that you have when you start with film.
When teaching a few of my friends, I'd make sure their camera is in RAW and give them a 128mb card, telling them they [i]can't delete anything[/i] and I'll be judging all of it. The fear was palpable with every click of the shutter.

I agree that it should be used as a learning tool. It's just that film often makes it a lot easier to advance and prevents people from becoming a 'that guy'. You guys may have noticed (or at least I think this) that my composition improved at a very fast rate once I started using film, with digital I was kind of stagnating.
I think it's awkward because the quality of your film pictures almost always surpasses the quality of your digital.
I mean you specifically.

Thank you. x)
Wish I could've gotten a lot closer to the squirrel, but he would've ran off. :b
And the book is a bible I found in a church that was built in 1839. The very last picture is the inside of the church.
Just got my film camera today, already taken some shots. So happy.
Just watched this, it's great.

Cool find B-hazard.
I know people have talked about this before but what do you guys normally pay to get a roll of 24 exp. developed without prints or scans?

I get it done at Target for $1.50 for just the negatives.

Oh fuck me, I just paid Walgreen's $5.49 just for negatives. Scans would've costed $3.00 more but my scanner is arriving sometime next week(Epson V600). Walgreen's isn't getting any more of my money, it's like freaking highway robbery in that place.

Oh wait I misread it, it's $0.95. So yeah, Target's pretty cool.
Do you guys have to pay developing costs per roll? Or can you bring in a batch of film and pay the developing costs once
i havnt had any done yet but where i live most places reduce the price the more rolls you give them also students get anything from 10% to 30% discount on top of that
I've only seen pay per roll. and the place I went gave a 5% discount. the tax here is 10%.
picked up a few boxes of Tmax 400, first day of film photo class is tuesday! I finally learn to develop this semester. I'd teach myself, but this way I learn proper from a teacher AND get access to a great photo lab for as long as I like afterward.

Can you tell me how to develop it once you learn because all of the places around here want to develop my Tmax for like 15 dollars a roll. They can suck it.
wow, sounds harsh. Any true b/w film also gets mailed out from my local shop that claims to do stuff in-house, takes 2 weeks and come back potentially messed up anyways, for I think the same price.
I'll try and pay attention in class, heh.
I really dislike film camera's that don't have aperture priority. I have a Canon AE-1 along with my Pentax ME Super, and it is shutter priority/manual. For most still scenes that's good. It's just a bit annoying if you have moving subjects and changing lighting conditions. If I want to meter, I need to press down on the shutter. When I release my finger, the meter immediately turns off so If you are tracking a moving subjects, you can either use your finger to meter and take a picture or turn the dial to set the correct shutterspeed and thus to get the correct exposure.
Even without this, I still prefer aperture priority. With aperture priority you essentially controll how your picture will look like. Use a big aperture and get a nice out-of-focus background or use a small aperture to get the whole scene in focus.
With my pentax, I can hold one finger on the shutter and keep it half-pressed to activate the meter, and with my left hand I can controll the focus and if needed the aperture.
Either way, aperture priority owns and shutter priority can eat a dick
Don't be such a bitch, my 67 doesn't have any sort of metering at all.
:v:
yeah but you are all

I never even use metering, I didn't notice that my 1000d had the meter in the viewfinder for a long time cause I'm dumb and wasn't planning on using it. I use meter by my eye usually.
Just a [idiotic] question; do you guys do much editing to your film pictures?
