I finally bit the bullet and bought a film scanner! In the long run it was significantly cheaper than getting it developed and scanned somewhere else. I've never shot film with strobes before, and my oh myy... if I wasn't addicted to shooting film before, I definitely am now! haha RIP savings account, it was great knowin' ya ;)

 

This was taken on a Hasselblad 500CM with an 80mm Carl Zeiss lens, Ilford HP5+ film, and self developed and scanned. I've been getting my film developed and scanned at the camera store here in Austin, and although it was great to just drop it off and pick it up - I felt like I was missing out on part of the process.

Part of the appeal for shooting in film is actually having something tactile, and it's nostalgic since I started shooting in film years ago. So to develop it myself and smell the chemicals, dry it, cut it, and scan it - it just feels complete. Like writing the conclusion to a novel you've worked really hard on. I spent most of my time in highschool in the darkroom, and to get back to that just feels wonderful <3

 

I'm thinking about trying to develop my own color film as well, have any of ya'll had any experience with this?
