Guides to the film look.
How film photos get their look, which film suits which light, and how to shoot like you only have one roll.
How to make photos look like film
Why film photos look the way they do, and how to get that look from a phone: light, colour, grain, contrast, halation, imperfections and shooting fewer frames.
Disposable camera vs phone camera
A real disposable camera, your phone's camera, or a disposable camera app? What each one is good at, what it costs you in time and money, and which to bring when.
Choosing a film look
A guide to DisCam's ten films, from Warm 35 to Flash ’99: what each one does, the light and moments it suits, and how to use the Intensity and Grain sliders.
How to turn old photos into film prints
Give photos already on your phone a film look: import them into DisCam, develop them on any of ten films, add a frame and date, and keep the originals if you want them.
