OnlyFilms: Zone System for Dummies with Kris Faulkner
In this episode, Mandy (@mandyleft) chats with Kris Faulkner (@kristian.faulkner) about the zone system. They talk a little bit about the history and how the system works to help improve your black and white exposures. They talk about Fred Archer, Ansel Adams and John Blakemore as photographers known for using the system. Kris talks about Pinsta cameras and also how 3D printing by companies like Chroma Cameras can help photographers get into large format. Kris also mentioned wanting to visit the Peak District soon, particularly the Monsal Trail for some photography. Finally they talked about compact cameras. Although the market is smaller for compact cameras than it was a few years ago, there are rebadged cameras available at places like Boots and it is a great option for people just getting into film photography.
