How to do film photography

CULTURE How to do film photography Film photography consists of multiple different steps. While less popular in my generation, film photography is probably one of my favorite hobbies. I find that when I take photos with my digital camera, I’m always critical of the photos that I shoot. Since I can’t immediately see what I just shot with a film camera, I can stay in the moment more and actually appreciate the art that I’m making. Whether you’re a long-time lover of art, or someone looking for a new medium to experiment with, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at film photography.

On my camera, the f-stops range from f/2.8 to f/22.
