I consider myself a hobbyist.

Started flirting with photography when I was a kid; I loved the darkroom and devlopment process. I took my first photography course back in 1992; but it took me until 2010 to make up my mind and buy a DSLR.

Still in love with B&W and film... but exploring a new digital world.

comment How was contrast increased back in the film days?
You could also get away with changing the developer's temperature. Great option if (like me) you had old and used developer, you were a bit broke at the time, and couldn't afford to go buy decent chemicals.

comment How to remember to change settings when I pick up my camera?
@theSuda A memento is an object you use to remember something. Like tying a string to your finger, or leaving your car keys next to something you wish to remember (a Remembrall is a memento). And yes, depending on your forgetfulness, you might forget what is it you were trying to remember. Which is why I suggested a post-it note, where you can write down what you wanted to remember.

comment Capturing vapour or faint steam
The image is no longer available.. I believe SE now has some sort of agreement with imgur to avoid this. Perhaps you could repost the image?

comment What is the shutter speed, aperture, and focal length of a disposable camera?
Huh.. I would have guessed f/5.6 and 1/60s. But now that I think of it, that would be an odd aperture for such small lens. Nice to know.

comment What causes flat-looking negatives while developing film?
For the record, old or overused developer may result in low-contrast film. Of course this would affect the whole film so it's unlikely to be the OP's case.

comment How would one remove yellow eyes instead of red eyes?
A PS workflow should be very similar (if not identical). Do let us know what worked best for you.

Also check this blog post. It discusses a recent photo and how they used the site mentioned by @Jeff.
