Four Reasons to Take Films

Shop Keeper · December 20, 2020

1) Conscious shooting

Just ask friends who are used to digital cameras, you should have many identical (or 99% identical) photos in your camera. When every click of the shutter costs $1 to $3, your shutter fingers will naturally converge a bit. When shooting, I also ask myself in my mind: Do I really want to take pictures of what is in front of the camera? Is the film in hand suitable for the on-site environment? How can the composition not be boring? Will it be too dark? In fact, every film photo is also an opportunity to learn about your own shooting style and skill training.

2) The beauty of the film

Seeing that there are film filters in various mobile phone photography apps/professional digital cameras, you know that everyone has always had a love complex for film photography. Is it because of the black and white hazy beauty of silver salt particles or the strong color of the positive film? All in all, the film has an indescribable beauty.

3) Be in the moment life practice

There is no need to put down the camera and check the work on the screen every time you take a picture. One of the advantages of using a film camera is that there are no extra things to interrupt your thoughts, and you can focus 100% on the present moment. The quality of the last photo cannot be changed, it is better to focus on the frame in front of you.

4) The wait isn't too bad

Finally, I can’t mention that whenever I receive a scan link from a photoshop, I always feel a long-lost excitement and anticipation in my heart.
