Film Photography for Beginners — Timothy McGaw Are you a beginner looking to start film photography? This guide covers the best film cameras for beginners, including the Mamiya 645 and Kodak EKTAR H35. Discover the benefits of shooting film and learn about different film stocks such as Kodak Ektar, Portra, and CineStill 800t/50d. Whether you're

When shooting landscapes on film, I love the challenges and rewards of shooting on location. There's nothing like the thrill of waking up in the dark and setting up your camera for the perfect sunrise shot, knowing that you only have one chance to get it right. And when you finally develop the film and see the results of your hard work, it's incredibly satisfying.

Of course, shooting film on location comes with its own set of challenges. Weather is always a factor, and you have to be prepared for everything from rain to harsh sunlight. And if you're carrying a heavy camera body like my Mamiya RB67 Pro SD, you have to be in decent shape and willing to make the trek up into the hills to get the shot you want.

But for me, the effort is worth it. The Mamiya RB67 Pro SD is a precision instrument that produces stunning images on medium format film. When you master the camera and the light meter, the results are truly breathtaking. And I love the tactile nature of shooting with film, from the feel of the camera in my hands to the sound of the shutter clicking.

If you're thinking of trying film photography for outdoor or landscape photography, I highly recommend Kodak Ektar 100. It's a versatile film that produces rich, saturated colours and sharp detail. And if you're up for the challenge of shooting with a medium-format camera, the rewards are worth it.

In conclusion, film photography on location is not for the faint of heart, but it's an incredibly rewarding experience for those who are willing to put in the effort. With a camera like the Mamiya RB67 Pro SD and the right film, you can create images that are truly works of art. So get out there, explore, and see what you can create with film.
