i have very limited shooting time during the week, and unless i simply stop carrying the digital (meaning nothing to post all week) i don't think i can make it thru a roll unless i shoot completely indiscriminately...
AND unless i'm willing to fork over a small fortune each week, i need at least 24 hours to get the film processed... so i need to be done a roll by end of day thursday to pick up the prints / disk on friday in order to be able to post on the weekend...
and yes, i realize i can lie blatantly about when i shot the film and will very likely do so (;p) but curious as to what others do!
I knew I'd be shooting four days this week, so I aim to shoot six frames a day. I will go somewhere and take six completely different shots. Sometimes I do just leave the digital at home. I'm posting mostly film this month, so leaving the digital is not a problem. Other than I miss them.
@northy I go around with many cameras because I am totally addicted to film, but that is my foible. I will often shoot a couple of rolls each week, get developed then scan myself. I am not sure that anyone is particularly worried about when you shoot or how long it takes you. I tend to shoot less in a sense with film than I would if I was just using digital. That being said, because I like using 120 size film, there are only 8 or 12 shots per roll depending on the format. A roll of 36 can take a bit longer to get through. Just post when you can. It is the participation within the overall time fame that is more the thing, and this activity was for over a week or so. BtW for the purposes of 365 stats etc, the important thing is the scan date of film, as this will show up in exif
@northy Don't worry about it, I have been carrying my DSLR all week to make sure I got some useable shots for get pushed so I won't be finishing my film till the weekend and then it will be a week before I can get to the lab in theory so I will be back dating the two dates :0)
i just saw this, I think, and I ain't the room but incidently I shot a roll, can I post two pics and tag them on monday and tuesday? I'll post them here, are other people posting them here too, that would be a nice thread to see!!!
@chewyteeth I think the laid backness around here just says do what you will, so long as we all stick to using the tag we will live. I used my digital all week for the get pushed challenge so have yet to fill a roll, I have started. I have about eight frames of doubles then the rest are just 1 exposure per frame as normal, I'm up to shot 15 out of 36. Poundland are selling 36 exposure Afga now. Kodak supplies must be done. I have been grabbing the last few rolls of Kodak from the Gateshead shop before they catch up.
@ayearinthelifeof
thanks for the heads up, ebay isn't as cheap as that so will get down there this week. I like Agfa too though.
Will post monday and tuesday as long as I got two shots worth posting!!!
@chewyteeth Yep, it doesn't matter how much you buy in bulk either you just can't beat a quid a roll. I feel like I should buy something different but then I look at the prices and think again! There is a bloke who sells mixed bags for about £2 a roll. I might have to treat myself to a bag for xmas.
I think Eddie has summed up the situation very eloquently. Just post, tag and be laid back. I have posted a few shots during week, over weekend and some more during week which are being developed. @cmc1200 Sounds like a cheap deal
@peterdegraaff yeah... i figured there's no point in angsting over it ;p in the end, i was able to get my film developed yesterday, so i have stuff to post... we'll see how i do next week... but i don't want to have to over-think things to meet a schedule... having enough trouble these days as it is!
@northy Yesterday I did some digital macro and film macro of wildflowers. Ended up posting all digital last night because loved so many of the shots. Saw flowers I have never seen before. Funny how we move from landscape, to street to flowers, etc. i must try some models one day, but then again....
I'm being laid back! Case of having to be, but should have something to post soon. Next time I might be more organised ... should at least have more time to spare.
This thread and challenge are a great example of what I think working in film does to us, I believe it teaches us some of the older way of living. It helps us mellow out and slow the fluff down. At least this is the case with me.
I have unprocessed film from I don't know when sitting in the fridge FFS. When I work in digital I do two things when I get home, I fire up the laptop while making a coffee and then I sit down and get the pics off my camera straight away. No ifs buts or maybes. When working in digital I feel as though I must post my project picture on the day every day. Working in film for the project as I am at the minute, I'm much more relaxed. It will be done when its done, its not going anywhere. My point is, I have none. I just felt like saying why I love working in film.
I believe every one who wants to take photography seriously should do it, no ifs buts or maybes. :0)
So glad you are all as laid back as I've been. I shot my roll. Had it developed. Scanned it today, but just can't seem to get them uploaded. That's what's tomorrow is for, right? Putting of the stuff we didn't want to do today?
