I started 2025 never having shot film. I ended it running my own lab. Here's what the data looks like for 2025.
Why don’t you develop film for other photographers? 🙂
I actually do! :)
I counted an average of 37 shots per roll, that’s how I calculated the 1500+ frames. Sometimes it’s more, sometimes less, due to blanks.
You've made me genuinely laugh with this:
"The changing bag felt like a teenager's nightmare trying to put a condom in the dark (lmao)."
Also I really admire that you've jumped to developing colour film at home. I'm still doing "only" the b&w.
Hahaha, 😆 thanks!
While I have no desire to shoot or process film any longer, I am in huge admiration of anyone who does.
I appreciate you keeping up the craftsmanship!
Thanks Chris! It’s a draft that takes lots of work indeed. When I shoot professionally, it’s most digital!
My journey with film but also photography started at the start of 2025!! Love how film photography is growing
Love to learn that! Happy Hollidays :)
It’s fantastic to see the passion you put into everything you do.
Hope to jump into film photography sometime in the future with your precious guidance.
Great stats!
I shot plenty of film this year (nothing like 151 rolls) and despite having a huge stack of negatives to file, I really have no idea which emulsion got the most camera time, but I'll guess Kodak Gold 200, Tri-X and Ilford HP5. But I'm guessing.
