My Wanderings in Analog Photography
Your work is beautiful. I’m a newly film photographer and seeing your work is very inspiring. What camera and film did you use here?
Thanks so much!
The camera I used here is an Argus C3. If you’re at all interested in using vintage cameras, this is the one to get. They’re cheap. I picked this up for $15. I got lucky, but usually they don’t go for more than $30ish. These things are heavy and not even a little bit easy to hold. But the photos you get out of them are magical.
The film is old Kodak Tri-X, I think. I bought a bulk loader and this was in it already. I accidentally exposed it to the light a bit, and now it’s got that ghostly look around the top edges.
Film photography might seem a bit overwhelming at first, but it’s actually pretty simple. Hell, it’s how everyone took photos not that long ago. If grandma can do it, so can you! 🙂
