The need to play around

October 19, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler Leave a Comment
Kodak BW400CN

People get bored, easily. I am the same. I get bored shooting at the same place too much. I get bored using the same camera (sigh). I get bored shooting the same theme for too long a period. However, it is not an issue for visiting the same place often to shoot because things change … [Read more…]

More observant with my surroundings

October 10, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 2 Comments
Fujicolor C200

Every hobby teaches us something, and change the way we approach matters. Perhaps that’s why during some job interviews, the interviewers like to ask what hobbies we do in our free times. For example, pottery cultivates patience, music encourages innovation and yoga trains your concentration. Photography? Everyone gains different insights from it but for me, … [Read more…]

My usual photography locations in Singapore

Kodak Proimage 100

I have a full-time job, office hour Monday to Friday. If I am very hard working, I can actually wake up at 6am, roam around until it’s time to appear in the office. And also, after work, bring a tripod or flash, roam around until my feet are tired. Unfortunately, I am not like that. … [Read more…]

How to influence people to shoot film?

September 19, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler Leave a Comment
Kodak Proimage 100

I have been thinking, why is it difficult to influence and convince people to shoot film? However, I know at least I have helped raise awareness that film is still alive. How do I know that? I have encountered too many times when my friends or strangers saw me with film and they were, most … [Read more…]

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…]

Film Diary #1: Kodak Tri-X 400 on Leica M6

August 29, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler Leave a Comment
Kodak Tri X 400

I am starting a new series ‘Film Diary’ to showcase pictures from ONE roll of film shot within a day with the same camera. In this way, we can better judge how a film performs in the same occasions such as weather, locations and camera/lens used. To start, I have Kodak Tri-X 400, my most … [Read more…]

Instagram is just another social media game

August 3, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 1 Comment
JCH Street Pan 400

At present, I am active on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and occasionally Twitter. Last time when Facebook was ‘new’, I remember being very addicted to it. Besides playing Facebook games (Pet Society and Restaurant City, etc) , I liked to post photos, stalk people, see their photos, write status and anticipate the … [Read more…]

Camera Zen: one camera at a time

July 27, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 6 Comments
Agfa Vista 400

I was crazy about film cameras a few months back. I looked through e-bay and Carousell every day to find deals. The process was addictive but hurtful. Because superb deal is gone in split second. Although there were a few good deals coming and going, but I couldn’t commit to buy it because my gut … [Read more…]

Variation in scanning of film

June 20, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler 5 Comments

Recently I have come to realise that the outcome of your analogue film image is very much dependent on the person who does the scan for you. It also depends on the scanner they use. For example, I use a flatbed scanner Epson V600 with the original Epson software. Apparently, it’s not a high-end scanner so … [Read more…]

Love-hate relationship with point & shoot film camera

June 10, 2017 by filmbasedtraveler Leave a Comment

I love and hate point & shoot film camera. Point & shoot Point & shoot film camera, as the name suggests, is just a film camera that allows you to just point and shoot, without bothering much about exposure setting. As of now, the demand for film cameras is very high. Because many point & … [Read more…]
