How’s everyone doing in this weird period of global pandemic? Perhaps I should rename my blog to filmbasedslacker for first, not being able to travel and second, not being diligent in updating my blog haha! Back in August, I managed to squeeze out a day or two to do some photowalk around town. For that, … [Read more…]
The colour film to be reviewed in this blog post is the Australian film, Hillvale Sunny 16! I got my roll during my most recent trip to Hong Kong in December 2017. It costs about SGD8.40 that is considered quite expensive if you compare to the price in Australia (AUD5 ONLY). I wonder why they … [Read more…]
The colour negative film reviewed in today’s blog post is (乐凯) Lucky Super New 100 from China. I bought only one roll from SNAPPP Taipei. I loaded it onto my Nikon FM2 and brought it to Singapore Zoo & River Safari trip (got a free corporate pass, teehee). The film was processed and scanned by … [Read more…]

I had a tendency to make everything look HDR (High Dynamic Range) and extremely contrasty. Anyway, I met a photography hobbyist who told me … [Read more…]
I am so excited to hear that there will be an exhibition featuring more works from my most favourite late-photography master: Fan Ho or Ho Fan (何潘). Then I turned disappointed instantly that the exhibition only lasts from 13 June till 30 June 2017, in Hong Kong. Argh! I believe his last book will launch … [Read more…]
I am based in Singapore. And I am not slow at finishing a roll of film. For example, when Emilia shot film in Taiwan, she used 4 days to finish a roll. Me, I could finish 1 roll within hours. Singapore is an expensive city to live in, even films and developing price are higher. … [Read more…]
Previously, I blog and published a shopping list to buy self-developing equipment, for the ease of those who needed some helps. I hope I have saved you the pain in reading other blogs that didn’t cover much in details. In this post, it is mainly a summary of how I feel after having tried to … [Read more…]
In today’s fifth interview with film shooter series, I have Winn from Thailand! Me: Hey Winn! Thank you for your time and it’s my pleasure to have you here! Can you tell us about yourself? Winn: Hey! What can I say about myself, I’m just a simple guy who is in love with film photography. … [Read more…]
