Vintage is cool again. Old vinyl records and turntables, typewriters, bikes and film cameras are just a few of the items that are no longer manufactured in mass today but are surging in popularity. For photography, the use of vintage filters on digital images has been around awhile with the likes of filters and apps like Instagram, VSCO, Huji and many others. These applications can add light leaks, grain and emulate some of our favourite film stocks.
While we can achieve a vintage look in digital it comes with perfection achieved through software manipulation and the vintage look is based on software algorithms and not through creative choice and chance.
Photo Rangers are offering a new One 2 One Workshop teaching Black and White 35mm photography (camera and film supplied) AND in the field negative development plus quick scanning on a smartphone. If you want to rediscover the best medium for striking, artistic images, book your workshop now. We are available most any day in October for regional Victorians. These photos were taken at the same time on a Yashica Electro GSN 35mm camera with Fujifilm AcrosII 35mm film and on a Fujifilm XPro3 digital camera with an Acros film simulation.
