Welcome to Between 2 Lenses: a collaboration between two people! Two perspectives, really! Each of us (Anna and Nick) bring a unique viewpoint to this endeavor. We want to share, in our own way, what we've learned from film photography. If you were to search film photography on YouTube, which we imagine you have, you'd... Continue Reading →
Engagement Shoot We took Nick's cousin, Kelley, and fiancé, Marty, to Vaughan's Woods in Hallowell on a Sunday morning for their engagement photos. Nick felt like a clumsy tourist with his GoPro, Polaroid, film Canon, and Nikon D60 cameras. Anna brought here trusty Pentax 645 and Nikon D3300. Poses vs. Natural Look One thing we...

It's been a while since I last wrote about Garry Winogrand, but I wanted to share a brief update on my attempt at emulating him. Garry was known for nearly shooting from the hip. Nearly. He brought the camera up and quickly snapped his pictures. It didn't even seem like he had time to focus,... Continue Reading →
Over the past two months, Anna and I worked to create a class on Udemy to cover the fundamentals of film. In the course is everything from picking your camera and film stock to developing to scanning and sharing. When we first began our film journey (together, at least), we agreed that a basics class...

Well, here we are. I made a big scanner purchase. BIG! This scanner came in, after tax, at $1,200! This is definitely NOT an entry level machine and will require some prior knowledge or some on the fly learning. Can you guess which we fell under? HEHE. After some anxiety wrenching torture of installs, and... Continue Reading →
Below are the photos we took with the iPhone 12 pro and the Canon EOS 650. We both shot in auto mode with the exception of me switching the phone into mono mode. I shot in 2X mode and the lens on the Canon was a 50mm lens. The only editing that was done on... Continue Reading →
Disclaimer: This is not so much a lesson, as a journal entry in our film developing process. It was the first time we developed using household chemicals, so there's much for us to learn. Still, it is hoped that you gain something from this. Special thanks to Daniel Keating for sending this starter kit. -Nick... Continue Reading →
Earlier today Nick and I did a little experiment. We wanted to know if there really was a difference between the CineStill Df96 Monobath and the 4 step Ilford process. We did a fun little video that I will link below, but for those who like to read, this one is for you! 😉 Nick... Continue Reading →
The Canon EOS 650 was the first camera in the EOS line and used the EF lens mount. It's also the first SLR with an LCD interface I received. I say that because it was a gift (again: one of the best ways to lower the costs of film photography). After I was given the... Continue Reading →
This beauty is the Pentax 645! Created as an entry level camera for wedding photographers, it is a medium format single-lens reflex system camera. It was introduced in 1984, along with a complementary line of lenses. It captures images nominally 6 cm × 4.5 cm (hence the Pentax 645!) on 120, 220, and 70 mm... Continue Reading →
Analogue photography is not cheap. Let's start with that. If you, like us, intend to go through rolls of film like rolls of toilet paper in a four-person house, it's going to be pricey. That's a fact. After your first camera, you're bound to end up with several (especially if you know people with them).... Continue Reading →
