What to do if you inherit a 35mm film camera?

Post Extract

Many of us are likely to remember a father or more rarely, a mother, exhorting us to stand stock still in front of a beautiful mountain in the Lake District, or maybe we have fairgound photos from Whitley Bay or the beach at Marsden in the family album. If there’s a talented amateur photographer in the family, you might discover a box of old camera stuff not being used. If you find a stash in an attic, or better still, are given an old 35mm film camera, this is what to do.

From The Blogger

Everyone needs this information! There are a several landfill tons of perfectly good-to-excellent 35mm film cameras out there which will work rather well with perhaps just a bit of a wipe down and a new battery. And film is really, really cheap. There’s never been a better time to learn how to do proper film photography, with a proper film camera.

Tell Us About You And Your Blog

The Photography Pages is a companion to my ongoing working life. It’s a place where over the years, a growing community of the interested have been able to comment about and share in my progress, pain, prizes and various influences and inspirations.

How Long Have You Been Blogging?

In a variety of iterations, about 6 or 7 years. Started on Blogger, spent a year or so with Moveable Type and then about 3 years ago, discovered the world’s best open source CMS and my real blogging life began with The Photography Pages. Bought the domain name only a couple of months ago, so now we are fully committed life partners.

Why Do You Blog?

To air the concepts and micro-thoughts that cross the desk every day, to publish research and work-in-progress, to keep key clients and my network up to date with my work and career, to ask for feedback and sometimes for support. It’s a complete adjunct to my freelance life, and I wouldn’t be without it for a single moment.
