Description

Analogue photography (the use of traditional, non-digital, film cameras), may seem an odd idea in a modern ‘digital world, but at Wild Arena, we love it! 

 

So why shoot with film? Well, there may be many answers to this, but we have the view that film still offers a timeless, rewarding, and challenging creative format for photographers. 

 

Our introductory, 1.5-hour video tutorial will cover all the basic ideas you should need to start shooting successful analogue images. Within the presentation we will look at:

 

  • Type of camera

  • Film Choice

  • Loading film

  • Setting the ‘ISO’/sensitivity of the film

  • Correct exposure - Shutter speed

  • Correct exposure - Apertures  

  • Accurate manual focus

  • Unloaded film

 

The format of a live call means that unlike listening to a recording, your tutor can tailor the conversation for everyone, making sure everyone is understanding and provides an opportunity for delegates to ask any specific questions as we move through the sessions content.

 

This course is aimed at anyone who wants to learn the basics of shootings images with analogue (film) cameras. The course material is built around 35mm ‘SLR’ cameras but if you have any doubt about the suitability of your camera or experience, just get in touch and we can let you know!
