I didn't really get into film photography until sometime last year, but in that short year I've made enough mistakes and wasted enough money on ruined film and bad shots to see exactly why more people don't play around with film: IT'S EXPENSIVE. At anywhere from $0.20 to $5 per shot people can't afford to not make every exposure golden, and as a beginner, seeing that money wasted on countless mediocre frames is downright depressing.
So that's why this is here. There's only so far the countless threads on flickr and Lomography can get you, and as far as i can tell, there isn't a consolidated source for techniques, tricks, and lessons learned through utter failure. So for now, this blog will be your weekly source for all things film!
Right now, the plan is to write a post every Monday night on cameras, film, and general photography tips, and to write every Thursday night on more specific methods.
Feel free to suggest some tricks of your own, too. I want this to be a forum and a launching point for a more comprehensive online database of tricks.
