Kampen street photos

Today some images I shot during a small photowalk in Kampen, a nice town close to our home in Emmeloord.
All images were shot with the Fuji X-E1 and 18-55 lens (my favorite combination).

The recipe for color film

Wow I guess there are way more people interested in developing themselves than I expected.
The most asked questions are “what do I need, and how to do it?”

 

Normally you can not answer this all in one blog post but with developing your own film it’s actually very simple (much simpler than you might guess). Because I mainly develop C41 at the moment I will share my “recipe” for this, and it’s actually pretty standard, although I have to add, some things were not in the manual from the kit I got (which led to destroying my first roll of film).

 

What do you need
Actually not that much.
You need the kit to develop, I use the Tetenal C41 kit which is very easy to obtain online.

Well it is not, in essence you will end up with 3 bottles.

European Photo Show

Thursday night I was a guest on the “European Photo Show”, it’s a starting show via Google+.
Check out the episode here, and show these guys your support 😀

I wanna be a pro….

The most asked question is without a doubt :
“I wanna become a pro… how to do it?”

 

Well one could say of course, go to school, get a diploma, get some work experience and start working for yourself. However with art (and photography is art) this is a bit more difficult. In the Netherlands photography has been a free profession for some time, meaning everyone can call themselves a photographer, and if you earn a certain percentage of your income from photography… well you’re a pro. Now let’s see what to do to become that pro shall we?
