wimbledon dogs<br /><br />nikon f90x, f/1.8 50mm, expired kodakcolor 400</p>

<p>Hi all,<br>

This is an interesting discussion. Whilst I am by no means a wedding photographer (or professional), I recently shot a roll of B/W film with an old Canon AE-1 at my brother's wedding and was really pleased with the results, a few of which I posted here: <a href="../wedding-photography-forum/00UFDq">http://www.photo.net/wedding-photography-forum/00UFDq</a><br>

It got me thinking that there may be scope to be hired as a second shooter at weddings using (especially B/W) film and taking non-traditional, more PJ kind of shots... <br>

I happen to think that there is something truly special about shooting film that digital may never truly be able to replicate. I may not be half as practical but it is something that will take a long time to die out completely. There will always be people shooting film!<br>

Thanks,<br>

Tom</p>

<p>Thanks Nicole! They are currently on their honeymoon but I'm looking forward to showing them the shots when they get back... The camera, lens and film seems to be a great combination for candid wedding shots.<br>

<p>thanks again all - it was a great day - in the end I was pushed for time and took the only BW film that my local shop had - Kodak BW400CN - just shot 1 roll but very pleased with the results. All were taken with an old Canon AE-1 Program and 70-200mm f/4 Canon FD lens.</p>

<p>A few of the best below...<br>

<p>I've looked into Acros and it does look lovely - i think I'll pick up a roll of that and try the new Kodak 400 TMY2 also. Thanks for your speedy responses guys!<br>

<p>Hi all,<br>

Thanks, the trip was great!</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>Your opinions please - it is my brother's wedding day on August 15th and whilst I am not the main photographer I am keen to take a few black and white rolls and shoot some less formal shots with my Nikon F90X.</p>

<p>The wedding will be in the UK so sunny weather is not a given, so ideally the B/W film will relatively fast but with not too much grain - I am familiar with Ilford HP5 and whilst it is fast it will be too grainy for this occasion.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?<br>

Many thanks!</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>First off, apologies if you think this would be better placed in the Film & Processing forum.<br>

Tomorrow I am off to the south of France, driving from the UK and am looking for a few film suggestions. I have a lot of colour neg film but would like to try out some colour slide film for the first time, and tend to enjoy a slightly vintage/washed out aesthetic.<br>

In terms of b/w, I am very familiar with Ilford HP5 but would like to use a film that is fine in grain and nice and contrasty. <br>

I hope it will be very sunny and will be shooting in available light at all times - in terms of my style of shooting, check out these examples (again, sorry if I shouldn't post this link): <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tjbaxter/collections/72157614340265039/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/tjbaxter/collections/72157614340265039/</a><br>

I'll be taking my Nikon F90X/N90S with a couple of Nikkor primes and a recently acquired a Canon AE-1 Program with some FD primes and zooms, so that will be along for the ride too.</p>

<p>Look forward to hearing all and any thoughts,<br>

Tom</p>

<p>Matthew Brennan - that is an astounding shot, probably the best I've seen on these Wednesday threads! Love how the pylons begin to disappear...</p>

<p>nice pictures all!<br>

<p>Hi all,<br>

My photo this week was taken in my flat in London, F90x, f1.8 50mm, Ilford HP5 (fast becoming a favourite combination of mine!). I like the grain and depth of focus in this one...</p>

<p>Hasse - great shot!<br /> jfzhang - incredible sky!<br /> Here is one from my f90x, taken near my flat in London with Ilford HP5, 50mm lens, wide aperture, probably a 1/2 second exposure...</p>

<p>Great pics all - here is one from my F90X, 50mm AIS f1.8 wide open, Ilford HP5:</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>My first Wednesday pic - I took this recently in London's Elephant and Castle with my F90x and a 50mm f/1.8 lens, Fuji Superia 400 film, at around f/16...</p>

<p><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1098/3352856331_cc877743e8.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="500" height="332" /><br>

<br /> And for what it's worth, I particularly like Ian's and Hasse's shots this week! Cheers</p>

<p>Hi all - </p>

<p>I won the 50mm f1.8 - look forward to shooting with it when it arrives. </p>

<p>Thanks for all your advice!</p>

<p>Ian, Frank, Michael: Many thanks - I'm sold on an 50mm f/1.8 lens, and going to bid hard for it this evening!</p>

<p>Peter: Thanks for the advice, and as you say, a 50mm lens will be a good general purpose purchase - and thanks for the advice on the other lenses.</p>

<p>Allard: I would be interested in your 28mm E lens as an extra bit of kit for some variation. 10 euros is a very fair price - I will find out postage costs and get back to you. Cheers.</p>

<p>Everybody: I'm blown away by the quick and very helpful responses you've all given - after this first forum post I'm officially a convert to photo.net! Sounds cheesy but it's true ...</p>
