"There are so many reasons I shoot film, but mostly because it's fun! It makes me think instead of mindlessly clicking away, saves time in front of the computer and—90% of the time—the photos that stick in my memory and matter are the ones I took the time to capture on film.⁠ ⁠ "I've been working on capturing night launches from Cape Canaveral for the last year or so, all on digital until now. For this one, I set my exposure to bulb and f/22 to keep it in focus, and used a cable release, leaving the shutter open for 2 minutes. The rocket trail did the rest!⁠ ⁠ "I've seen numerous photos of night launches, but they are almost always digital. I thought it would be cool to try to capture the trail and the shimmer on the ocean on film with my Hasselblad (my go-to camera). I love the challenge of a fully manual experience.⁠ ⁠ "Have fun and capture the things that matter to you. Chasing trends and others' visions might get a lot of likes, and you can certainly learn from it, but ultimately your images should speak for you.⁠ ⁠ "My favorite part of the image is how placid the ocean looks (it wasn't) and the reflection of the light in the dark of night.⁠"⁠ ⁠ — Chris Hampson⁠ ⁠ @champs11 / Kodak Portra 800 rated at box speed / Hasselblad 500c / Noritsu S-1800 / Satellite Beach, Florida⁠ ⁠ #photovisionprints #photovision #p800 #portra800 #madewithkodak #hasselblad500c #hasselblad #nortisuscan #spacex #spacexlaunch #shootfilm #kodak #exposure #filmisalive #believeinfilm #nightexposure #nightphotography #longexposure #filmnegative #shotonfilm #analogphotography #filmcamera #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #lighttrails #rockettrail #rocketlaunch @spacex @kodak @kodakprofessional
