First

First. I liked the colors. Canon Elph 100 HS.

The Canon Elph 100 HS has some interesting features – a self timer that fires when a new face arrives in the viewfinder, or fires when someone winks, a 3 MP high-speed mode that outpaces my big DSLR, and a toy camera mode that vignettes and saturates the image.

The iPhone Rangefinder Adds a Shutter, Viewfinder, and Tripod Mount to Your iPhone

Fifty years ago, photogs were all about the rangefinders.

They’re snappy, but who wants to wait for film processing? You want old-school style and immediate gratification.

If wishing makes it so, then say good day to the iPhone Rangefinder!

This crafty little guy isn’t just an iPhone case that looks like a rangefinder. It’s actually a functional system, complete with a viewfinder, shutter button, tripod mount and more.

Plus, it works with the all of the Magnetic Cell Lenses for maximum camera realism! We’re pretty sure Bresson would trade all of his decisive moments for an iPhone that looked like this.

The iPhone Rangefinder
$65 for the Case
$99 for the Case with Magnetic Lenses

Film Is Not Dead: A Digital Photographer’s Guide to Shooting Film

 

With the popularity of digital photography growing by leaps and bounds over the last decade, some say film has been dying a slow death ever since–or is already dead. The reality is that film has never gone away, and in recent years has experienced a surging, renewed popularity–sometimes simply for its retro, analog status, but mostly for film’s ability to create a look and feel that many believe digital can still not achieve. If anyone can attest to this, it’s Utah photographer Jonathan Canlas, who exclusively shoots with film, and has both an extremely successful wedding photography business as well as a series of popular workshops held numerous times per year around the world.

In Film Is Not Dead: A Digital Photographer’s Guide to Shooting Film (Voices That Matter), Canlas teams up with co-author Kristen Kalp to open the doors for anyone who wants to begin–or return to–shooting film. Casual, irreverent, fun, inspiring, and beautiful, this unique 10×8 hardcover book teaches the reader the basics of film, cameras, and shooting in this medium. Whether it’s discussing the different tone and color characteristics of different films (Kodak, Fuji, etc.), how to load a medium-format camera back, how to create proper exposures, how and where to get film processed, or how Jonathan uses fun, plastic cameras like the Holga in his commercial and personal work, Film Is Not Dead appeals to anyone who is searching to finally begin creating that film look, but until now hasn’t known where to start.
