Summer 127 Day is coming!

On the 12th of July, in just one short month, summer 127 Day will be here! It's time to get your 127-format cameras ready and make sure you have film for them.

127 Film Photography will feature 127-format photographs made on July 12, 2017, in a special exhibition. You're invited to participate.

No fees, no competition, just a friendly virtual community joining together to make 127-format photos on July 12, 2017.

To show your work,
  1. Take 127-format photographs on July 12, 2017.
  2. Send one of those photographs to 127 Film Photography. Please email one jpg file, 500 pixels wide, to 127filmformat ~at~ gmail.com, by August 12, 2017.
  3. In the subject line of your email, type "July 2017 127 Day."
  4. In the body of the email, please include the copyright symbol, your name, the title of the photograph, location, camera and film types, and your website address (or other link to your work). In that order. Please follow this example:

    ©J. M. Golding, Out of nowhere, northern California, USA, Kodak Brownie Fiesta, ReraPan, http://www.jmgolding.com
 

All types of 127 film format are welcome, whether the film began its life as 127, or you used 35 mm film in a 127 camera, or you respooled 46mm film, or you cut down 120 film to 127 size ... or maybe you have a technique that I don't know about yet - if so, please tell me so I can share it with others who love this format (with full credit to you, of course - or perhaps you'd like to write a short article for 127 Film Photography about it!). Photos made on 127 film in a different size camera are welcome too.

I will publish all photos received (as long as they do not contain images of nudity, violence, or exploitation).

I look forward to seeing your 127 Day photos!
