It is our great pleasure to announce that /u/GratefulRobber is our Photographer of the Week. This accolade has been awarded based upon the number of votes during week 24, with this post having received the most when searching by top submission: https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/comments/1laesom/this_is_how_im_shooting_slide_film_from_now_on/ How long have you been taking photographs? Not that long acutally, about close to 2 years so far although I did start with digital before transitioning fully to film. Why do you take photographs? What are you looking to get out of it? To capture memories and moments from my life, and to document the places that I have travelled to. What inspired you to take this photo? I was inspired to shoot this style of photography by attic darkroom actually (check out his video titled "Contact Sheet Photography"). I enjoy taking many smaller pictures and putting them together to make one big picture, shot in a way that you could do it physically with the film itself, instead of doing it digitally. I was on a trip to Hong Kong recently and from the start, I already knew I wanted to take this shot because this famous spot was perfect for this particular style of photography. Do you self develop or get a lab to process your film? I started self-developing my own C-41 rolls a couple of months ago, but I still send them in to a lab to get them scanned because the results I get from their scanner can't be matched by my mirrorless camera + vintage macro lens (For B&W, ECN-2, and E-6 film, I send them in for both developing and scanning). What first interested you in analog photography? I'll be honest: after looking through old photo albums from when I was a kid, I was chasing the "film look" that everyone was talking about. But the more I learned about film, I realised that the "film look" that I had been chasing was because of underexposure, missing focus, and all the other things that can go wrong with film photography. The more I shot film and the better I got at properly exposing my shots, the more I saw how beatiful the images could be on film that couldn't be matched by anything I shot on digital. What is your favourite piece of equipment (camera, film, or other) and why? My 2-way panoramic tripod head! I've taken some of my favourite shots using it (Although I've recently switched to a 3-way geared panoramic tripod head). Do you have a tip or technique that other film photographers should try? Trichromes! I think it's got the potential for some really creative shots. Do you have a link to more of your work or an online portfolio you would like to share? No portfolio, for now I only post my pics on Instagram @vinnyonfilm Do you have a favourite analog photographer or analog photography web site you would like to recommend? I don't have a favourite analog photographer in particular just yet, but I've enjoyed browsing the analog subs on the regular and following other analog photographers on Instagram.   submitted by   /u/Malamodon [link]   [comments]
