Shooting film has made a comeback in recent years, with many photographers turning to 35mm film for its classic and timeless feel. But did you know that there are different ways to shoot 35mm film? The two most common formats are full frame and half frame.
Full frame cameras use the entire width of the 35mm film to capture each image. This results in a classic rectangular format, with an aspect ratio of 3:2. Full frame cameras are great for capturing a wide view and are often used for landscape photography.
On the other hand, half frame cameras use only half of the width of the 35mm film for each image. This results in a unique, panoramic format with an aspect ratio of 2:1. Half frame cameras are perfect for capturing a wider scene and can fit twice as many photos on a single roll of film. Analog Camera Company recently released the world’s first half-frame disposable camera to combine the simplicity of a single-use camera with the benefits of half-frame functionality
There are also other ways to experiment with shooting 35mm film, such as double exposures, cross-processing, and pushing or pulling the film’s ISO. Whether you prefer full frame or half frame, or want to try something new, shooting 35mm film offers endless possibilities for creativity and expression.
