I always forget, but the one thing I dislike about winter is the absolute lack of sun. I can't wake up before work and go shoot, I can't get off work and go out and shoot... The sun is only up from like 730-430 these days, and I work like 8-5.
Literally limited to my days off, or flash photography... v frustrating.

I recently bought a Nikon FE camera to get back into film and feel your pain.
Taken on my dad's old Fuji GW690, unknown film that I developed some 4 years after this was taken. Such a fun camera, I highly recommend if medium format is your gig.
Diving into the world of film pretty soon and having a look at different 35mm films to buy and I was wondering if anyone has tried the Ilford Delta 3200 film, mostly for low light conditions, and if so what type of success have you had?

I've shot quite a bit of Ilford Delta 3200, mostly due to it being rather cheap in the EU.
Keep in mind that it's more a 1600 iso film, as in that T-Max P3200 is an 800 film that can be pushed to 3200 with good results but I have very limited experience with that new Kodak stock which is supposed to be rather stellar.
Delta 3200 is very very lenient and stands or falls by the dev process, it lacks in contrast and is grainy. (no shit)
This shot is from way back from a time when I didn't know how to scan/process as properly as today but it gives an inditcation this is at pushed to 6400:
I have better examples but I know almost exclusively shoot film at parties, so I will not be posting those publicly...
Or just use Tri-X and push that fucker to 6400 for maximum #ARTZ
I shoot a fair bit of film when I travel so quite excited to dig into this thread. Here a couple from a 12 day trip to Cuba, shot on a Rolleiflex SL35E on a film I can't remember,

Fun seeing some film photography! Bought an Nikonos V this summer and been testing out some different kinds of film!
These images was shoot with the Kodak portra 800.
I got a film camera as a gift from someone who was cleaning out their basement. I have only shot Walmart film and gotten it developed there. I want to get into it more with the different types of film and developing my rolls so I can learn but there seems like such a steep learning curve. Is anyone able to help me out with some basic stuff? I feel like I am in over my head.

If you want to start developing your own rolls, start with black and white, as the process is simpler, cheaper and less toxic. Kodak T-max is pretty good film to start with-readily available, decent quality and room for error in developing. You can find developing charts with an easy web search for just about any film/chemistry combo out there. There are also methods of developing bw film using coffee/orange juice/vinegar for non-toxic processing, would be worth checking out if developing at home.
You're in luck if there's a photo lab near you that you can get access to. Otherwise you will have to dedicate a space in your home to film developing. There are tutorials for this online.
DM me with specific questions, your post is pretty open-ended.
Moved to Arizona for the winter so no more skiing for me. Fortunately, flight training lends itself to some decent photo ops. What sucks tho is the lab here is $20 for develope and scan vs the $6 I had to pay back home, and their scanners are not as good.

dude try to find an Epson V600 scanner. They're like $200 and come with frames for scanning all sizes of film from 35mm-4x5. Excellent quality scans.

I would, but I don't know how to flip the negatives to positives and remove the color casts on the computer. I've tried reversing the scans in the past, but the colors always came out off.

give Phoenix Film Revival a look down there! there's great community of film shooters down in the valley that do events pretty frequently
