Analogue Wonderland are running a competition from 27th July until the 31st of August - asking you to share your best photos taken on Kodak Ektar! The theme is: 'The Finest' and is open to interpretation.
Maybe you use the very fine grain of the film to capture incredible detail and colour; maybe you capture the finest things in your life; or something else entirely!
We only ask that the photo was taken on Kodak Ektar - 35mm, 120, large format or some personal adaptation - and that you own the rights to the image.
This door is on the film institute in Stockholm # Beautiful Door Nr: 7
Swedish Film Institute – we promote film. A remit from the Swedish state and film industry
The Film Institute was founded in 1963 by the Swedish state and the various professional bodies of the film industry. Its remit – to support the production of new films, the distribution and screening of worthwhile films, to preserve and promote Sweden's film heritage and to represent Swedish film at an international level.
I applied for their school a long time ago. I dreamed of becoming a film photographer. But that was not for me. I still love this building.
I could not sleep the other night so end up at youtube with a cup of tea at 2am and fever. Find the best clip and got so happy. Why have I not heard aboute this before? "Film Swapping" for multiple exposures and wow - that is so magic!
Its extra special to swap films now when you are not going to travel 2020. I will load my Nikon F2 with film from Lomography - Lady Grey.
Hope I can join this "A roll for a roll".
You send an exposed roll of a film to a random person, and we'll have someone else send you a roll, for you to double expose, process and keep.
Sounds good? Leave your email address and we'll let you know when we're letting more people in.
