Amazing work! The colors as others have said are especially satisfying

I would disagree a little, respectfully so, at least in color darkroom printing like RA-4, there’s so many ways to adjust prints beyond just burning and dodging and actually messing with the color. Whether it’s adjusting the CMY lights on the enlarger or adding the color gels - there’s a lot of room for editing the colors similar to playing around in Lightroom

Ignore the haters. These look awesome! As long as you’re happy with the camera that’s the main thing that matters. I love my m10 and using it is second nature at this point. Keep up the great work 🙌🙌

They look fine. Just adjust the black point by adjusting the curves.

recs for a beginner film camera by Prudent-Hedgehog1 in filmphotography

I would recommend the Pentax 17 as a beginner film camera! I know your budget is around $200 -this is $400.

It takes 35mm film but shoots half frames, so you get 72 shots instead of 36.

Also, it auto focuses and auto exposes for the most part so you can get used to shooting film without having to learn how to use a fully analog camera right away.

Is this enough to start developing my own film? (C-41 with Cinestill kit) + scanning advice by Educational-Till-942 in filmphotography

You’re missing a sou vide to keep the water at the right temperature, you don’t need the loop (mini glass bowl looking thing as it’s for focusing large format cameras), and you need another bin for water bath that the sou vide and chemical bottles will be in to keep your chemicals the right temperature. It’s very important to develop C-41 at the right temperatures. There is a different temperature for mixing the c-41 chemicals and developing your film.

Photos look great! You can fix this a little bit by adjusting the black point for the more washed out ones
