127 Film Photography: November 2024

Saturday, November 30, 2024

One week till 127 Day!

127 Day is only a week away - Saturday, December 7, 2024. It's time to take your film out of your fridge and load your 127-format camera.

127 Film Photography will feature 127-format photographs made on December 7, 2024, in a special online exhibition. You're invited to participate!

No fees, no competition, just a friendly virtual community joining together to make 127-format photos on December 7, 2024.

To show your work,

Take 127-format photographs on December 7, 2024.
Send one of your 127-format photographs that you took on December 7 to 127 Film Photography. Please email one jpg file, 500 pixels wide, to 127filmformat ~at~ gmail.com, by February 7, 2024. (This allows two months to get your film developed and scanned).
In the subject line of your email, type "December 2024 127 Day" (no quote marks please).
In the body of the email, please include the following information: copyright symbol, year, your name, the title of the photograph (or the word untitled if your photo has no title), location, camera and film types, and your website address (or other link to your work). In that order. Please follow this example EXACTLY. With no hard-return characters. (You don't have to use initials if you prefer to be known by your full name!). If you want to direct people to an Instagram page, please use the URL for the page, not an "@" handle (which will not work as a link).

All types of 127 film format* are welcome, whether the film began its existence as 127, or you used 35mm film or Instax 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 - perhaps you'd like to write an article for 127 Film Photography about it!). Photos made on 127 film in a different size camera are welcome too.

127 Film Photography will publish all photos received (as long as they are in 127 format and do not contain images of nudity, violence, or exploitation).

I look forward to seeing your 127 Day photos!

*Sorry, digital photos in an aspect ratio similar to 127 film do NOT qualify (nor do any other digital photos).
