Film Photography 101 (for beginners!) | disposable cameras, point and shoot, instant, and manual

[@Diode5]

Tip for younger people that's not so obvious these days. If you're catching a flight with your film cameras do not let any film new or used go through the security x-ray machine. The x-rays expose the film and will ruin your photos or any new film you are carrying. Let security know about your film, and do not pack it in your stow away baggage either as those bags get x-rayed too. It's also best to not have any film in the camera as security may insist the camera needs to be x-rayed, so only load film after your flight, and use it all up before coming back. Airports used to have lots of warnings to remind people, but these days not many do.

Hi! Thank you for the warning but I've traveled many times with my Polaroid cameras before and that hasn't happened to any of them. Does that just apply to older cameras? Because now I'm nervous that it might happen and it would be such a waste. Thanks in advance!

[@shadowvenger20]

I’d say go for disposable for people that just want try Go for point and shoots for those that just want to do exactly that, which is to point and shoot. It’s a step up form disposables And go for the SLRs and rangefinders, if you really want to learn photography. Or if you just wanna get a bit more serious, since point and shoots have very little level of control.

[@stuartbaines2843]

A tip for your followers with no film shooting experience. Get a point and shoot with a fixed lens 35mm or 50mm. Less to think about and go wrong with camera. 👍

Got a EOS Rebel Ti body that used the same EF mount lenses my Rebel T6 DSLR can, for 50$ I can use it to play around with 35mm film with manual controls and or automation in a silver camera I don't need to stress over. Also dug out a Polariod Impulse AF that I got years ago as a kid because instant cameras seemed so cool at the time, now I can finally get the Polaroid 600 film cartridges to actually use it, kinda happy with younger me finding a decent camera and not breaking it XD

Lots of modern film don’t have a vintage aesthetic. You could try expired film but that is really hit or miss. Try lomography film and film with a higher grain for that old look. You could also try push or pull the film when developing.

You can actually reuse disposables a few more times. The only downside is the camera itself is attached tighter, and harder to take apart it you wanna put the new film inside

Hey I got a question. When you change the film roles, do you have to do it in the dark? And where do you put them until they can be developed? Bc as far as I know they need to stay away from light, bc this will destroy the picture/ film. Sorry I’m really new to this topic and still a little confused :) Thanks ✨

For your polaroid, you are using the wrong film, the SX-70 film is for the SX-70 camera, so that's probably why it ain't working out, the Polaroid OneStep typically uses I-Type or 600 film, and the Polaroid 600 or the closeups use 600 film

[@Carlie_flower]

I went to Walmart and saw a Polaroid snap on clearance for under $20 and a bunch of the film 10 packs for $2 so I grabbed em and thought hmmm that seems fun. Then never used it lol found it recently and thought... "Hmmm I've been wanting a new hobby...

[@NataliePark]

Unless you want to develop it yourself (which takes a lot of time, patience, and chemicals), the Darkroom is probably the best option. I would get 36 photo rolls of film to save money on developing rather than 27 so you get more photos every time you develop!

[@Alyxlightqxstar]

I really wanna learn more and I don't really know anything about photography plus my first language isn't English sooo what are negatives? Also would love to have more explanation of how to use the dark room and the kind of photos you can get with that. I see that a lot in American movies bur never really understood what they were for. Okay bye :))

[@AL3X2580]

Negative is an inverted image on the film of what you the final image like like. When light is exposed onto the film, it basically burns the image into the tiny grain on the acutely film reel. The film is then placed in a chemical that washes away the “unburnt” grains. This gives you a negative, everything on a negative is inverted, so whites are black, blacks are white, cyans ante magenta and so on. A negative is them scanned with a professional scanner and it inverts the colours and light values to give you the final result. B&W film can be developed by hand in a “dark tank” dark rooms don’t really exist anymore outside of camera houses. Colour film cns be developed by yourself buts it’s extremely complicated
