Carter Nelson carter_nelson_travel is a film photographer from South Dakota. Images shot on #ektar100, #portra400 and #gold200. "These photos were all taken on a southwest road trip I took this winter. On this trip I feel like I’ve finally started to “get” film, on a technical level. It’s learning the process of how to properly expose film in different situations, and choosing different film stocks for each occasion, that makes it feel like you’re really learning an art, as opposed to just spinning around with a digital camera in your hand and hoping you get lucky. The characteristics of film photos are what drew me to it as a beginner, but being able to learn after many mistakes and regain control of the process is what is the most rewarding. Actually, I think the most rewarding part is licking that little sticky strip at the end of the roll." - Carter
