RE: My Introduce Yourself & First post
Hi Tyler, nice to meet you and welcome to Steemit. I am getting used to it here myself, but I am enjoying it. Hope you like it too!
That's great that you are an aspiring photographer. I am a photographer too. I make my living taking photos in Japan. Feel free to check me out if you want to see photos (or read haiku) from here in Japan.
You say you shoot film. I love film! If my kids were older I would make a darkroom here and do film again (too dangerous to have darkroom chemicals here with kids around). What kind of film camera do you have? What is your favorite film to shoot?
my favorite film is Fujifilm Velvia 100 and I use a Canon AE-1. I actually use a Developing service based in San Fransisco called "The Darkroom". You mail your film to them and they develop, upload, and mail the developed film back to you. I'm not sure if they do international but you can go to their site to find out. https://thedarkroom.com/
Respect—Velvia, and all slide films really, is a challenging film to shoot well. You really have to nail the exposure. The AE-1 is a fine camera. I used to have one of them and loved it.
I know The Darkroom, but thank you for the suggestion. There are plenty of places here in Japan that still develop film, I just prefer doing it myself.
