A compact analog-photography guide covering exposure, film storage, composition, and a Sunny-16 exposure selector.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.
For
Film photographers working without a reliable meter
Worth noticing
It pairs exposure equivalence with field notes, storage temperatures, scanner warnings, and a Sunny-16 selector.

Field notes

The notebook organizes its material as five numbered sections: exposure, storage, composition, Sunny 16, and reference. Its practical advice includes letting refrigerated 35 mm film warm for about an hour, allowing two to three hours for 120 film or bulk packs, and requesting hand inspection at airports. The exposure section also distinguishes negative film, which tolerates more overexposure, from slide film, whose highlights clip more readily.
