AboutSteve Pearson Expertise Try me for 35mm or darkroom issues. I am a professional photographer in Australia. I work solely in 35mm digital format, after 35 years of colour and monochrome film in many formats. I have darkroom experience and for many years belonged to my local camera club. I conduct photography workshops around the state on any and most subjects relating to photography and often judge photography exhibitions and competitions.
Experience I hold a Diploma of Applied Science in Forensic Investigation, with part of my studies involving photography. I spend most days with a camera and am into digital photography in a big way. I was given my first camera in 1965 and have not been without one since. I spent nearly 20 years as a forensic investigator with my state Police Force, and since retiring a couple of years ago have concentrated on commercial photography - especially weddings.
Question Hello, I've recently purchased an AF SLR camera for which I intend to use on various arts projects. I'm looking to recreate similar effects to what can be achieved with a lomo colorsplash camera, which I can replicate very well, my question though is about film.
Is there such a thing of rough quality 35mm film, similar in ways to the film used in 35mm film cinema cameras? if there isn't can you perhaps suggest another alternative?
Thanks, Stuart Barrett
Answer Stuart.
I'm sorry mate. I have no idea what you mean by 'rough quality' 35mm film. The film used in 35mm film cinema cameras is not a negative film, but a positive - the same as a colour slide. That is usually an high quality, fine resolution film. I can't offer any more than that, because I basically don't understand your question.
Steve P.
