My first film 6 years ago

October 26, 2022 by filmbasedtraveler Leave a Comment
FujiColor200, Street photography

I was looking through my Google Photos to clear the photo albums because Google no longer gives free storage… Then I chanced upon the very first film I loaded into my first ever film camera in 2016 (those point-and-shoot during 90’s childhood not counted). You know how we always decided to do spring cleaning and … [Read more…]

Kodak Portra 400 on Hasselblad 500CM

Trikonasana

I have been neglecting this hobby for a long time! Few days ago, out of the blue, I just decided to bring one film that has been hiding in my drawer for months to Triple D in Bugis. I have also lost touch with the film photography world. In the past, I used to follow … [Read more…]

Film Never Die ISO 200

Film Never Die 200

Film Never Die 200. Let’s get straight to the point. I was attracted by the package design of this film. The bright yellow and the weird evil Japanese sumo head. I got Film Never Die 200 from Taiwan two years ago. It wasn’t very expensive if I recall correctly. Film Never Die 200 Look at … [Read more…]

Develop film in Singapore- Whampoa Colour Centre

March 22, 2020 by filmbasedtraveler 21 Comments
Fujifilm Premium 400

It’s been a while since I have my films developed in Singapore. Recently, due to the Covid-19 situation, I can neither go to Hong Kong/Thailand or send my films to Darkroom8 in KL, all of which are my alternatives outside Singapore. So I have decided to bring my films to Whampoa Colour Centre in Balestier … [Read more…]

FujiPro400H

It’s Christmas Eve and I got a half-day off work. So I will spend some time updating Film Look and tidying some photos for more blog posts. For the last two years, the frequency of me going out for shoot had decreased dramatically. Hence, the number of blog posts has dropped from twice per week … [Read more…]

Fujifilm Superia Xtra 400

I went to Tai Chung, Taiwan in March. It’s been a few months and finally got my films developed. During the trip, I used only three films, of which two were developed in Tai Chung and the final one in Hong Kong SHOWA. Again, what I like about film photography is the anticipation. I let … [Read more…]

Universal Studio Japan on Fujifilm disposable film camera

July 9, 2019 by filmbasedtraveler 4 Comments

I have heard so much about Universal Studio Japan (USJ), especially their Harry Potter park. So happy I managed to go!!! We were blessed with clear and cool weather (late May). The experience in USJ was definitely better than in USS (opps) mainly because of the weather. Anyway, I made the right choice of getting … [Read more…]

Shooting Fuji Velvia 50 slide film

February 24, 2019 by filmbasedtraveler 1 Comment
Fujifilm Velvia 50

Shooting slide film is tedious if you aim to achieve accurate exposure settings for every shot. Unlike the C41 films, slide films have limited exposure latitude. After the first failed attempt and some trouble-shooting, I picked up Fuji Velvia 50 slide film to shoot again! You can read about my first attempt and where to … [Read more…]

Why is my Rossmann 100 so reddish?

December 25, 2018 by filmbasedtraveler 6 Comments
Rossmann 100

Analogue films entail both surprise and shock. I should be immuned to this but I can’t help feeling upset for a while when my photos on Rossmann 100 came back horrible. I had previously shot 4 rolls of expired Rossmann 100 and the photos were beautiful. However, this particular last roll of the batch came … [Read more…]

Lomo LC-A Minitar 1 Art Lens

Long long time ago, Lomography Asia sent me a lens of my choice to play with. I chose the Lomo LC-A Minitar-1 Art lens because it can fit both Leica M6 and Fujifilm X-pro 2 (with adapter). Below are my shots with Leica M6: On the other hand, here are the three shots with Fujifilm X-pro … [Read more…]
