I would like to apologize to all who have you who have me, given fav's and badges, etc. I usually have a few minutes early in morning to spend on social media and then I move on and don't look at it again during the day. Time is a precious commodity (more so when you are old) and I need to accomplish some things while I still can.
I got this idea from someone on YouTube and I apologize to him because I don't remember who it was. He suggested if you want to build a portfolio of your best work to pick a category such as cars. His suggestion was the first roll of cars select the best five images and copy them to a separate folder. The next roll you pick the best five images and copy to this folder and then delete five images. Over time you should build a group of really good images.
You can vary this to suit your needs. Let's say you want to make a photo book that contains 20 images. You do same thing except you keep 20 images in your folder.
I plan to do a slight variation of this with the diptych photos I post here and on Instagram. After each roll is edited I will pick what I think are the best five and copy to a post folder. After image is posted I will delete from post folder. This will save time scrolling through computer looking for photos to post and wondering did I already post this
I thought I might try some color film and was shocked at the prices of color film and processing. Looking around I did find a place with some inexpensive film at $5.76 a roll it is a bargain compared to most color film. Fujifilm 200 35mm | Bay Photo Film I ordered five rolls for a which came out to $7,27 a roll including tax and shipping.
