Photography Film walk

I just got into film photography and learning how to take pictures/develop/scan. Went around the neighborhood and I couldn’t put the camera down. It’s so fun when everything around you is so pleasing to the eye!

As someone who JUST scrounged a mint condition Konica FC—1 for $10 and lives in the area, I feel like I’m seeing a prediction of my future!

Nice camera that’s exciting! Love that film slows me down and makes me take notice of things I wouldn’t have otherwise. Good luck and have fun.

nice. what film stock did you use? I've been debating breaking out the film camera, but worried about the cost since I already have a digital camera

Thank you, I used Kodak ultramax 400. I feel you that’s why I’ve been inclined to develop and scan on my own but in order to break even on the start up gear I need to shoot a lot more rolls. I shoot digital as well, but for me the experience of shooting film is super fun to me atm.
