I have many technical steps to follow in photography, especially since I choose to photograph in manual, RAW, edit without presets and process BW film. In regards to BW film, following steps have not always been a simple process, but the mistakes I made turned out to be helpful in teaching me how to do better the next time.

I’m starting to feel that I’m building my confidence with film photography. Nearly a year since I first began to develop film, and despite some disappointments with a couple of rolls, I want to start trying different brands of BW film.

So the brand I’ll be using for my next ten sessions or so, is Fomapan 400. It's a BW film that's not entirely new to me because I first used it in 2016. I like it for its contrast and grain quality. Fomapan 400 is also a roll that has given me nearly perfect results when developing at home. The fact that Fomapan 400 comes with a reasonable price tag is also another reason why I intend to use it more extensively.

My idea behind wanting to try different brands of BW film is so I can be more conscious about my decisions when doing film photography, so I hope to gain sufficient knowledge about how each brand applies to specific situations. Also, if I can get consistency in how I see tonal values, even better.
