Repost of this morning's one which had the wrong tile! Date is Wed 10 June at 6:30pm.
June Meetup is going to be a chance to get out and take some night shots. Rug up, load up, bring a tripod or some fast film and meetup under the clocks outside Flinders Street Station at 6:30 this Wednesday 10 June. Message on Insta if you need any details. All levels of film photography experience are welcome but you will either need a tripod and a cable release or some fast film and a fast lens! If you are new I’ll be rocking my black F2, come and say hi and shoot the night.

This weekend, 9-10 May, is the Coburg Makers Market at Coburg Studios where we are located. We will be running a traditional film large format portrait photography session. If you are interested in having a unique portrait made then head along and we will work together to create something special just for you. With Mothers Day on the Sunday, it is a great opportunity to for a special family photo.

Large format cameras link back to the very early days of photography. Even though we will be using a relatively modern version of the camera, and modern film and paper for the print, the massive negative area (4 x 5 inches) and special way that large format lenses render the image, creates a photo that can’t be duplicated by other methods.

Portraits start at $50 and all images will be hand developed and hand printed at the darkroom and will be ready within two weeks. They will not be ready on the day though. The market is located at 69 Charles Street Coburg North, 11am to 4pm on Saturday and 11am to 3pm on Sunday.

Meetup is on for April (This comes around so quickly) this Wednesday 8th at District Darkroom. Come along and share any film derived photography that you have been doing. Chat with other photographers, bring prints, scans on your laptop or tablet etc just show your film shots on something bigger than a phone. All levels of film photography experience are welcome. This meetup we will also have a play with the interesting, but very slow and contrasty Harman direct positive paper. We shot some portraits at a meetup last year and struggled with the flash power that I had on hand. This time I am bringing more boom, more lumens, more watt seconds, just more. District darkroom is at 69 Charles Street Coburg North 6:30pm. Turn up and follow the signs! Details on the website https://districtdarkroom.com.au/meetup

Heads Up! I am running a traditional film, large format portrait photography session this weekend, 14–15 March, at the Coburg Makers Market. Large format cameras link back to the very early days of photography. Even though I will be using a relatively modern version of the camera, and modern film and paper for the print, the massive negative area (4 x 5 inches) and special way that large format lenses render the image, creates a photo that can’t be duplicated by other methods. If you are looking for something different to do this weekend, come and check out the market, make a photo with me and find out why people still love shooting film in this digital world.
