The Shutterbug Society; Activity #3: Ask and Answer

[ed1nburgh.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ask and Answer
Points: 10 points participatioon
Dates: NOW until Thursday, July 1 at 22:00 PDT.

Details: Since this is a photography club and we have members of all skill levels, for this activity, you're going to have the opportunity to ask or answer photography questions you've always wondered!

FOR QUESTIONS: Be sure that it is a question of substance. Asking, "What's a camera?" will not get you points, but asking something of more substance, such as "What is the rule of thirds?" or "What's the difference between digital cameras and film cameras," will count towards points. If you are only planning on asking questions, you must ask THREE questions to get participation points.

FOR ANSWERS: If you know the answer to a question you see, feel free to respond! In order to get participation points, you must answer one question with at least five, complete sentences. It is encouraged that you post an example of what you're talking about, to make your answer totally clear.

Of course, feel free to go beyond the minimum! You may ask more than three questions or answer more than one, or any combination thereof.

If you have any questions for me, please respond to the thread below!

Shoot things, legally! Join The Shutterbug Society today!

What are the benefits of developing your own film?

Personally speaking, I think that the main benefit of developing your own film is the experience. I find it a really fun process to go through and you get a real sense of achievement when you finish. For me, there is a financial benefit in that it doesn't cost me anything because I can do it at college. However, there will be the cost of chemicals for you if you do it yourself at home, aswell as the cost of building a darkroom or buying a "pop-up" darkroom or just a darkbag. Of course, if you are developing your own film I am guessing that you would have the capability of making your own prints also. If you develop your own prints you can make them just the way you want them, whereas if you go and get them printed at a lab they come out the way they make them and that's not always too good. You can also experiment with chemicals, exposures, different papers, different sizes and all kinds of things in the darkroom that can be very entertaining and give you some very interesting prints to look at. If you're into that kind of thing anyway.
I hope this was worth reading. Heh.
