Film Photography for Beginners: Practical Tips You Need to Know

[@maedhyne]

hi lisa! your video couldn't come in my recommendations in a better time. i've been into the hobby since pandemic, but i can only comfortably start just last month. i recently purchased my first film camera (agfaphoto 35mm) and is currently on my first roll (fujifilm 200) and i am not even sure if i loaded it correctly (i certainly did but the rewind gear kinda lags behind when i initially wind the film-well, maybe i'll get double exposure shots lol). nonetheless, i'm loving the experience 💚 what others may find inconvenient about not getting immediate results of your shot is exactly what appeals to me. i'm mostly done with my first roll and i can't wait to see how my shots turned out and which aspects can i improve at. i also just purchased a rangefinder and i can't wait to go on a photowalk when it arrives.

Hi, that’s so exciting! When you advance the film to the next photo, there should be a bit of tension. If it winds too easily, it's usually loaded incorrectly. Wishing you the best with your photos, and thank you so much for watching! 😃X
