Show us your film : Fifty shades of silver
I have not had many submissions lately, I guess people are too busy shooting all of their film. I am sure some of you have some amazing collections tucked away though. Come and check this lot out and then show us yours.

I love looking at everyone’s film stashes! The battle for space between food and film reminds me of my own situation not too long ago. Luckily however, I now have a dedicated film/paper fridge, although most of it is for paper and sometimes distilled water (for summer developing).
I haven’t gone through my own film stash in quite a while, and I was a little shocked to find some pretty outdated film. Five boxes of 4×5 Acros, plus the 3 boxes of the same in Quickloads – I need to put my Crown Graphic to work!
Some Impossible films I bought before they became crazy expensive to ship to Japan (130% customs/duty on film orders), and of course, my favourite thing to shoot – infrared. Those four precious rolls of HIE are my last remaining stock, as are the two rolls of Konica infrared.
I also have quite a bit of Efke infrared, although my 35mm rolls don’t feature in this photo. Even though I shoot mostly black and white (HP5+ and Acros), I have little to show for it (which is why I need to head over to Yodobashi soon.)
As you can see I have a bit of Provia 400X here, mostly stocking up on it since it’s been discontinued. I suppose once it’s gone I’ll have go over to colour neg if I want to shoot at anything higher than 100 ISO.
Cheers,
Rachelle

While rounding up my film and bartering with my wife for room in the refrigerator, i thought it would be a good time to send you my stash.
I’m mostly a digital shooter but I am starting to shooting more and more film these days and loving it. I started on film and I find that like everyone who shoots digital I adopted a “spray and pray” approach to exposure. Film is taking me back to my roots, forcing me to slow down, think about and invest in the shot. I find that my ratio of keepers is far higher on film and my exposure estimations are getting better and better.
I shoot mostly 35mm and 120 but thanks to Gregory Heisler’s excellent book 50 Portraits, I am now the proud owner of a 4×5 that I’ve yet to shoot. I also dabble with instant.
My stash:
35mm:
