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…]

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…]

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…]

Hillvale Sunny 16

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.

Reflection on one year into film photography

Kodak BW400CN 400

13 September 2016, I bought my first serious film camera- Nikon FM2, with a 50mm f1.8 lens. I love it. It’s sturdy as a tank, even though it had let me down once and I had to send it for repair. My first film was an expired Fujicolor C200. The images from my first roll … [Read more…]

To: All the cats in the world

Tudorcolor XLX 200, Olympus mju ii

This blog post is dedicated to cats. Because I adore cats. When I was a kid, my family had a few pet dogs. At that time, I disliked cats. I loved the loyalty of a dog. Their love for their masters is incomparable to your spouse. No matter what you do to a dog, they … [Read more…]

What’s your view on editing film photos?

August 10, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 4 Comments
Kodak ColorPlus 200, Nikon FM2

When I first started photography and before I was introduced to Lightroom, I used Nikon’s editing software. Looking back at those old photos, I felt disgusted at how I edited them. 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…]

Fan Ho

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…]

June 6, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 5 Comments

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…]
