The Sorcerer – One Shot Story

Andrea Monti — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:00:10 +0000

This is a photo taken from the cover of an actors’ collective’s ‘opera prima’. This time, the venue was a smaller theatre than those I usually work in. This meant there was less room for movement and only a few limited angles from which to take the shots. As a result, I mainly framed shots...

Continuously Resizable DIY Photo Frames? Really?

Dave Powell — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 09:00:38 +0000

Yes really! Have you ever wanted a picture frame that is easily adjusted across a range of photo/art sizes? One that can even form itself to non-standard aspect ratios? If so, read on! This idea has been in the works for quite some time because I’m not a woodworker, and couldn’t conceive of any other...

Breaking Through – One Shot Story

Andrea Monti — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 15:00:09 +0000

This is one of the photos I took while courtside at a women’s handball match between the Italian and Bosnian national teams. I was there as part of the sports photography seminar I run at the university where I also teach sports law. This is why I had to produce teaching materials using a number...

Kodak Gold 200 – Photographing Museums

Martin H — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:00:15 +0000

After finishing a roll of Kodak ColorPlus 200, I decided to try another Kodak classic: Kodak Gold 200. The film was developed by bildskanning.com, and digitized using a Valoi easy120 system and TTArtisan 100mm macro 2X. The scans were then processed in Negative Lab Pro. With this roll in the camera, I set out to...

Leica 50mm Lenses – The “Goldilocks Leica Lens Challenge” – Introduction

Scott Ferguson — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:00:19 +0000

For reasons I may not be able to fully explain (even to myself), but many 35mmc regular readers and contributors will understand, I own four different Leica 50mm lenses. Leica cameras have remained the dominant high end range finder camera through the entire 100 + year history of 35mm still photography, which began at Leitz...

In 2025 I was fortunate enough to travel quite a bit. A Nikon was with me for almost all of those adventures. In March, my girlfriend and I spent a week and a half in Florence, Italy. I brought my trusty Nikon F2S, a Nikkor 28mm f2.8 AIS and a Pre-AI Nikkor-P 105mm f2.5. Fast...

If Trains Could Talk

Scott Peterson — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 09:00:17 +0000

There’s something timeless about trains. Maybe it’s the scale—the sheer size of a locomotive—or maybe it’s how they’ve always been there, quietly shaping our lives and landscapes. As a photographer, I keep coming back to trains, drawn in by their presence, their history, and that they are just cool to look at! Growing up in...

Professional Courtesy – One Shot Story

Andrea Monti — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 15:00:36 +0000

Chasing news lies at the core of any journalist’s work. The professionals who walk the streets instead of enjoying the comfortable seats on talk shows, discussing ‘life, the universe and everything’ (cit. Douglas Adams), are like sharks with a sense of blood. They can smell news from a distance or are part of an ‘intelligence’...
