On Film, Part 1 of who knows how many; Film Stocks

Alright folks, here's part 1 of who knows how many blogposts about shooting film. These are basically a collective brain dump that have accumulated in my head over the course of the past few years of working with the medium. The vast majority of these posts are adopted from some info I recently put together for a brand new Facebook group geared specifically towards Washington, DC Film Shooters, but some of the info is pretty generic and should apply to film shooters located throughout the world. 

The thoughts, words & opinions that make up this series are of my own and should not at all be considered gospel. They are simply my general thoughts on a number of aspects of the film photography work flow, and should be looked at as a guide for avid film photographers as well as digital photographers that are looking into trying film for the first time. (It doesn't hurt, trust me!) 

The first installment of what might become many will be some general thoughts about the primary film stocks offered by what I will call The Big Three film manufacturers today; Kodak, Ilford & FujiFilm, plus some additional info about Lomography and Instant Films.

Georgia #Gameday with the XPro1

Another week spent with a rented FujiX camera and another week of mixed results.

This time it was the XPro1 and out of all of the FujiX cameras I have tried (X100, XE1, XE2) this one was definitely my favorite and FujiX camera I could most likely see myself living with for a while. I tried out the 27mm pancake lens due to its small footprint and was pleasantly surprised by its performance on numerous occasions. I wouldn't buy that lens if I ever took the plunge on a XPro1 (Give me that SLR Magic 23mm f/1.7!!!!) setup but I didn't want to lug around the way too big FujiX 23mm all week and the pancake was the closest option to my preferred focal length.
