To Get Started...

So during all those hours I spend reading about film online, I often do find sites and resources that are really useful. I wanted to quickly list a couple that I found pretty cool.

#1. FilmDev
FilmDev is a site that I found the other day. It's actually what gave me the idea for this site. Basically what FilmDev does is allow film photographers to easily upload and share their own recipes. It's done based off your Flickr photostream, which makes things really easy for those of us who are on Flickr. I've started using it already, and plan to continue.

#2. The Massive Dev Chart
Probably most film photographers know about this resource. But I figured I would throw it up here anyway. The Massive Dev Chart lists just about every film/developer combination known to man, and proper development times for standard, push, and pull processing for various formats of film. Keep in mind that this site is run by hundreds or thousands of users, so the times aren't technically scripture. But I've found that the times on this site are always a really good place to start when you're trying out a new film or developer, and you an adjust accordingly from there if you don't like your results.

Eventually I'll put up a "useful links" section on the side of the blog where I can add cool new sites as I find them.
