Back to film / #monomad challenge / [ING/ESP]
The photos 📸 are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.
Greetings, Hivers!
It’s been over a decade—if I’m not mistaken—since I last dusted off my analog photography gear. It took a good friend and fellow film enthusiast to reignite my interest in this medium.
I went back to basics using my old Nikon FM2 and a roll of Agfa APX100 that expired back in the 2000s (a beautiful film, by the way). These are the results.
I’ll never deny that digital development is great; it allows you to shoot without limits and achieve excellent results. However, I must admit that analog photography has a special aura, something that makes you fall in love with it. I’m not sure if it’s the process itself or the fact that you think much more before pressing the shutter.
There’s also that unique thrill of pulling the film out of the developing tank and seeing that you actually captured the images.
I shot two rolls recently. Today, I’m sharing my favorites from the first one; I’ll save the second roll for a future post. I also shot a roll of color film, but that one will take a bit longer to develop since finding a lab here in Cuba is quite a challenge.
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do. Let me know in the comments if you also shoot film and which one is your favorite. Hugs!
¡Saludos, Hivers!
Hacía más de una década, si no me equivoco, que no desempolvaba mis equipos de fotografía analógica. Tuvo que aparecer un buen amigo, estudioso de los carretes, para que se volviera a despertar en mí el interés por este tipo de fotografía.
Utilicé mi vieja Nikon FM2 y un carrete caducado de los años 2000: un Agfa APX100, que es una joya. Aquí les presento los resultados.
Jamás negaré el valor del desarrollo tecnológico; lo digital es genial, te permite disparar sin límites y lograr resultados excelentes. Sin embargo, debo reconocer que la fotografía analógica tiene un aura especial, algo que te enamora. No sé si será el proceso o el hecho de que se piensa más antes de cada disparo. También es emocionante sacar el carrete del tanque de revelado y comprobar que las imágenes están ahí.
Disparé dos carretes. Hoy voy a compartir las fotos que más me gustaron del primero y dejaré las del segundo para un próximo post. También hice un carrete a color, pero ese tardaré más en revelarlo porque es complicado encontrar quién lo haga aquí en Cuba.
Espero que les gusten tanto como a mí. Disfrútenlas y cuéntenme si también hacen fotografía de carrete y cuál es el que más utilizan.
¡Abrazos!

Photography is a lot like coding because one small mistake in the settings can ruin the whole result. Since I am just starting my dev journey , i am learning to be more precise. Your return to the Nikon FM2 is a great lesson in discipline.
Discipline is the key to both coding and film photography. If u don't think before u shoot, u waste the roll. I am learning that same lesson in my new coding career. Thinking before pressing the shutter is exactly how I should approach my logic.
I have been off Hive for a long time since 2022 but finding creators like u is making the comeback worth it. Great job on these shots.
N fourth shot (the one with a girl in the corridor) is the best shot imv.
Greetings, my friend. I wish you much success in your programming journey; it's great how you're approaching it.
I understand you like the photo of the girl in the doorways; it's technically appealing. Although I confess that I'm taking this type of photography not so much with the intention of achieving perfect photos, but rather photos that leave me with a story. That way, they all have something behind them to remember. The first one, of the leaning building as if it were falling, tells me a lot about the current situation in my country. And almost all of them have something personal. I'm glad you enjoy it.
And I'm very happy that you're back on Hive; it's a spectacular community.
Hugs.
Yes!... How wonderful to see that indescribable magic of analog photography here!... Thank you for sharing!
