Mistakes I made so you don't have to : One year of analog photography.

So this is mostly for fresh new analog beginners, but I'm officially a year into my practice and I still have much to learn, and maybe you need to actually make these mistakes to learn from it, but here are my good to know, don't do it list.

  1. when the wheel feels tight stop turning it: don't tighten your film to much, if you know you are on picture 36 be carefull forwarding the film. As early as this weekend, I jammed my film in so tight I couldn't turn the rewind button and couldn't get my film out, and ended up ripping it off the spool. I thought I had 36 pictures when I in fact had put a 24 picture film in, so I was not carefull.

  2. If its broken you can't fix it, sell it, toss it or get professional help. I have tried saving some cameras and fix some wires and be all DIY, I fixed 0 cameras, and wasted many hours.

  3. Expired film are fun, but often also disappointing, you sometimes get something amazing and unexpected but often you are left with a feeling of disappointment, also use fresh film to test out new cameras! you will never know if the problem is the camera or film if using expired.

  4. Just have fun, you don't need the perfect expensive camera, start with something cheep that works great and figure out what you like and dislike, and what you actually need.

  5. Find a physical lab if you can, a lab where you can bring your camera when the find is stocks or broken off, or if you can't find the rewind button (did happens once) they are super friendly, passionate and will help you out as much as possible, this is golden when you are a beginner.

I’m very thankful for the film photography community. I probably wouldn’t have pursued film photography if the community wasn’t as welcoming as it is!

How many of you jumped straight into film photography without having ever owned a digital camera?

How many of you jumped straight into film photography without having ever owned a digital camera?

It just dawned on me that there are likely some younger (than me) people here who became interested in photography and started with film without having gone through a digital photography phase first. If that's the case, I think that's pretty incredible from a history of technology standpoint. I started shooting in the late 90s. By the early to mid 2000s, digital capture was supposedly going to kill film dead. So I'm curious to hear from the people for whom digital cameras are just completely irrelevant to what they do and always have been. Is that pretty common here?
