Shooting with film was once the only way possible to capture an image. There was no way to fire off a load of shots until you found the right angle or to check if the lighting was the way if you wanted. What you shot was what you got. In the digital age, everybody can be a photographer. With most people having a camera capable of shooting billboard photos in their pockets, its easy to fire away and luck out with a good shot. But with this ease, there is a loss of thought that is put into each image. When shooting film, you are limited to a number of shots and try to make each one count, planning out exposure, focus, and composition more than usual. It slows you down and, when done right, gives the image something unexplainable that a lot of digital images lack.
The most exciting part about shooting film is the anticipation of getting your images back from a lab or developing them yourself. Here at the AV house at High Cascade Snowboard Camp, Logan Guerry bought a developing kit to cut out the middle-man and we were able to develop our rolls and see the images the day we finished them. For most of us, it was our first time developing on our own and was an incredible experience. It even sparked the interest in other staff to start shooting film for the first time. Thanks Logan!
Enjoy these photos shot by Chris Moran and Logan Guerry and hopefully they will inspire you to go shoot a roll and develop it yourself!
