1 Choose the right film

One of the first decisions you have to make as a film photographer is what type of film to use. Different films have different characteristics, such as speed, color, grain, contrast, and dynamic range. You need to consider these factors when choosing a film that suits your style, subject, and lighting conditions. For example, if you want to capture fine details and smooth tones, you might opt for a low-speed film with fine grain, such as ISO 100 or 200. If you want to shoot in low light or create a gritty and dramatic look, you might prefer a high-speed film with coarse grain, such as ISO 800 or 1600.

Il est important de choisir son film en fonction de ce que vous voulez faire, ce que vous voulez raconter et ce pour plusieurs raisons : - noir et blanc ? - couleur ? - de la diapo ou du négatif ? Etc... Bien entendu le coté budget sera aussi à prendre en considération.

Overcoming limitations in film photography can be approached in several ways? **Experimentation**: Try different types of film, shooting techniques, and lighting conditions to find what works best for you. **Creative Accessories**: Experiment with different lenses, filters, and accessories to achieve unique effects and overcome technical limitations. **Embrace Imperfections**: Nothing in the world is ever perfect so Embrace the inherent imperfections of film photography, such as grain, light leaks, and unpredictable results, as part of the artistic process. **Experiment with off camera lighting** to achieve proper exposure use off camera lighting and don’t forget your light meter.

2 Expose correctly

Another challenge of film photography is getting the right exposure. Unlike digital cameras, film cameras don't have histograms, LCD screens, or auto modes to help you adjust your settings. You have to rely on your light meter, your experience, and your intuition. To expose correctly, you need to understand the exposure triangle: the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. You also need to know how to use the zone system: a method of measuring and controlling the tonal range of your scene. By using these tools, you can avoid underexposing or overexposing your film and achieve the desired mood and effect.

When shooting with film it is wise to make sure you have your trusted light meter with you. You do not need anything that is super expensive just a basic light meter.

Que ce soit en argentique ou en numérique le triangle d'exposition est toujours à prendre en compte. Pour l'argentique vous devrez vous concentrer sur la vitesse et l’ouverture vu que l’ISO est donné par le film. Dans la grande majorité des cas, les appareils photos argentiques sont équipés d’une cellule interne qui permet de donner une indication des réglages à faire pour avoir une photo bien exposée.

3 Develop carefully

Once you have taken your photos, you need to develop your film to see the results. This is a delicate and rewarding process that requires attention and precision. You can either send your film to a lab or develop it yourself at home. If you choose the latter option, you need to have the right equipment, chemicals, and techniques. You need to follow the instructions for your specific film and developer, and keep track of the temperature, time, and agitation. You also need to be careful not to scratch, fog, or contaminate your film during the development.

Whenever you shoot with film. Make sure you are familiar with the laboratory, where your photographic film will be developed. Professionals have the expertise to develop the best quality images and accurate colors. You can develop it yourself. But I recommend that you take your film to a professional to develop it. From my experience If you are not an expert and have no place for development. Sending it to a professional is the best answer for your film.

4 Scan properly

After developing your film, you need to scan it to digitize it and edit it on your computer. Scanning is an important step that can affect the quality and appearance of your photos. You need to have a good scanner that can handle your film format, resolution, and color depth. You also need to adjust the settings and preferences of your scanner and software, such as brightness, contrast, sharpness, and color balance. You need to clean your film and scanner before scanning, and avoid cropping or compressing your images during the process.

5 Edit wisely

The final step of film photography is editing your photos on your computer. Editing is a personal and creative choice that depends on your vision and taste. You can use various software and tools to enhance, correct, or transform your photos. However, you need to be careful not to overdo it and lose the essence and charm of film photography. You need to respect the original characteristics of your film, such as the grain, color, and contrast. You also need to backup and save your files in a suitable format and quality.

Aucunes règles, seulement votre créativité. Certaines personnes font entièrement confiance en leur labo et ne retouche que très peu leurs clichés. à contrario, d’autres photographes scanneront eux même leurs photos, passant du temps sur la retouche afin de trouver le rendu qu’ils souhaitent.

Oui, l’argentique peut être expérimenté librement seulement cette passion aura un co?t peut-être plus important qu'avec le numérique. Vous devez penser au bo?tier, aux films, le labo, les chimies etc...

A mon sens, la plus grande différence en argentique et numérique réside dans la dynamique des teintes et des niveaux de gris. Il faut travailler ses images après la prise de vue, travailler sur des fichiers Raw et ne pas aller trop loins dans les différents traitements. Travaillez avec ma?trise et justesse vos fichiers. Soyez sensible à ce que vous voyez, anticipez vos résultats.

When shooting with film you must consider the fact that you need to evaluate your subject and surroundings before you push the shutter. Take your time

Un conseil : lancez-vous ! Trouver un petit boitier et aller explorer votre ville, prenez votre famille en photo, vos animaux. Vous verrez que la photographie argentique est un très bel univers.
