The film is only $20 a roll plus tax. It costs $12.00 a roll to develop. Of course, that does not include shipping. For the money, you can create images that highlight and feature how color works in our world.
Though most of my work is in black and white, I occasionally shoot a few rolls of color film. I have a roll of Fujifilm 200 and a roll of Ektar waiting to be developed.
I used the Nikon F4, with either the Nikon 35mm1:2 or Voigtlander 40 1:1.2 Lenses attached.
This morning I went to a local camera club gathering at Panera near my home. They thought shooting film was an anachronistic activity. They were all once film photographers but have since moved onto the ‘magic’ of digital. They love the experience of shooting an image and then recreating it in software.
I will be polite in my response to their arguments. Whether one shoots with a digital or film camera is not important. What matters is the vision or lack of it of the particular photographer behind the camera.

FWIW, I use a camera to take photos. I used both digital and analogues cameras.

I bought two rolls and used one. I understood your comment to be sarcasm. Ektachrome is one of the most expensive 35mm film stock available.

While I understand that you may be upset by other photographers looking at the use of film as an anachronism, this statement left me wondering why you felt the need to make an equally incorrect statement.

Did you recreate these images using scanning software and convert them to a JPG with other software to display on this website?

Thanks for the valid criticism. We could discuss our differences when it comes terms such as “recreate” but in some respects both our opinions are valid.

When considerations of how to frame for black and white are realised in colour too. They’ve come out really well here. Film for my own interest is purely that I love both vintage and the romanticism of creating a photograph from inherent latent imagery imagined. Yes. Manipulation on computer is added to enhance, crop, etc. That should always be okay…..to be able to choose. Even under the enlarger dodging and burning enhanced and improved. Pushing film speeds, looking for grain or perfection in fine imagery. We can choose to use whatever to realise a final result. Film is my camera choice. The iPad camera for blog imagery. Interesting subject blending vintage and newer technology. All the best.
