★BIJESH★'s photostream

From God's Own Country, dreamer, traveler, lazy...basically normal..

I shoot only film, mostly slides and B&W. Now trying my hands at developing and printing my own films.

I lived in Austin, TX from Dec 2006 to Apr 2010. I moved to Bentonville, AR in Apr 2010 .

I love developing my own film and prefer to spend less time manipulating digital photos. Most of my photos are scanned without any adjustments. All I do is load the film to the scanner and click the scan button. I used to use a Konica-Minolta Dimage Dual IV film scanner. Now I use a Epson V600 scanner and this allows me to scan medium format also. I also print B&W photos in my bathroom.


I own several film SLRs - Nikon F3, F4, F5, FM3A, FE and about 20 lenses. Owning so many cameras makes me a bad photographer....In the early days when I had only one camera and 2 lenses, I used to make better photographs.

I also shoot some medium format with Mamiya M645 1000s. I also use the camera in my iphone when nothing else is available.

I use these films:

B&W - Kodak Tri-X, Fuji Neopan 100 (Acros)& 400(My favorites), Agfa APX 100 & 400 and Ilford Delta 400 and FP4+.
Color - Fuji Provia and Fuji Velvia.

Most of the B&W film I use are either expired or short-dated. I get them cheap from eBay and it helps to reduce the costs.


Please comment and critique my pictures...I'm still learning.
