grmncrsnbr Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 NICE! I wish I still had my FM10 that was my first SLR. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Wizzer Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I gave up on shooting film back in High School. But then I am an instant gratification kind of guy. Would love to get some shots of more than just my own MINI. Question is, where is a good place to set them up to take pics? Steve "Wizzer" P. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]2009 MINI Clubman S R55 "BATTPODD"
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Now that the weather is cooling down, we really should do a MINI photography shoot day. Maybe we can pick a few scenic locations to go to and shoot. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
sgnlman Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I still use my Canon AE1-P on a regular basis, although finding film and getting it developed is getting scarce. I did the four corners of the US on my motorcycle last year and shot about a thousand pics on film. I took the rolls to WalMart for developing and the twenty something behind the counter asked me what the film was, she had never seen it before. Then she took the film over to the board that takes the sim cards and proceeded to see which hole the film canister would fit in for developing. It was hysterical. I finally convinced her to give me a few of the film envelopes to mail them away for processing. At least it had some entertainment value.:rock:

teamholly Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Fuller and d'Albert in Fairfax is another good place http://www.fullerdalbert.com/
JAB 67 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Does anyone know for sure whether Fuller & D'Albert still does b&w developing? I think I asked not too long ago and was told no. JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B
teamholly Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 I honestly don't know. Their "website" is all of one page :: You used to be able to rent darkroom space... Man! It's been a long time since I've watched the magic of an image appearing on blank paper... Photoshop/GIMP is just not the same thing...

cmcveay Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 Why? My "old school" method not good enough for you film snobs? It's got light leaks, chromatic abberation and totally unlimited zoom and depth of field and I'm not even going to get into how much easier and cheaper is is for developing. Within SECONDS, this artwork can be hanging on your fridge! Mark my words, in the next couple of years, even Alan (Scavenger) will be showing off similar works of art right there in his kitchen! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
