You are absolutely beautiful! One question though. How do you process your film? Is there a "scanner" for your PC or is it still developed in a lab?

Hi Ejatu! I am new to this and just got this camera for photo shoots with friends but I’m confused how I can get them developed digitally and transferred to my computer/MacBook/iPhone! Please help! Thank you!

A UK based black female film photographer on YouTube!? Subscribed!! I'm just getting into film photography and I am glad I've stumbled across your channel

ISO is just short for the international organization for standardisation, so I-S-O is a fair pronunciation to me.
Also, don't asked me why it isn't IOS instead, as that would make more sense to me.

[band_nerd]

why is your Portra 400 so greeennn????

[kshysztof]

your camera is going to die hahaha
give it for a service. CLA will do the job. You can hear it squeak, and that's the worst sound in these canons

[ribsy]

i'm gonna go find me an empty patch of grass in the park and do some self portraits - thanks for the inspo!

Can you use the cable release to engage the timer so you can just drop it once you're in position?
