Post your favorite shot from your most recent roll

I shoot both depending on subject. If there is going to be a ton of shots ie sports then digital for sure. Otherwise film for me. It is a little costly and getting worse all the time. Someday I may be priced out but for now I’ll still use it.
I guess I’ve adapted to the convenience of digital more than I realized. The last time I used a film camera was about 2005. It has been all digital since I restarted the hobby two years ago. I won’t write off film completely, though.
 
Yes, at $35 a roll for 10 shots with 67 is crazy expensive. Self developing at about $1 a shot much more reasonable. With 645 15 shots, 75 cents a shot is ok and gets me through a roll faster than 36 which seems to take for ever at 38 cents a shot. My biggest film cost was developing and scanning by a lab.
I have considered self developing. It would certainly be the less expensive and time saving way to go. I was able to scan the Yashica negatives with my DSLR. That saved me a bit as well.
 
I have been wanting a dark room for decades and should probably just go ahead and make one. There is room for both types of photography. 2 weeks ago I took my Canon A-1 with motordrive and my 50D to my grandson’s soccer games. He had 2 and I shot one game with each camera. I found with the 50D I just fired away with no care in the world and had to go through a LOT of shots to get the ones I liked best. With the A-1 I was much more selective with my shots. I am taking the roll to the lab today and I’ll know next week how they turned out. And that is one of the things I like about film, anticipation. Bottom line is you can get great photos with either medium, shoot what make you happy.

I agree. Hope you got some good ones. And, yes, it’s a blast having your own darkroom. Best of luck with it.

These were taken a while ago but only recently developed. Probably my K1000, since I've been mostly defaulting to it, though it could possibly be the Rollei 35. Expired Agfa 100. Ogunquit and Portland, Maine.

Really wanting to process some film! Got some C-41 chemicals ready to mix, but I haven't found the time. Should have a chance in the next couple of weeks. I've got 5 or 6 rolls of 35mm and 120 film to soup.

MIGHT try one last roll thru my old chemicals, but they are 9 months along with 12 or 13 rolls. Might be just fine, but might not. Still pondering.
 
Taken with a Ricoh XR-P with unknown date Kodak 400 From a moving truck.

I'm cheating and doing two from the same roll, because I just had 4 developed and this was the only roll with anything I really liked on it.

Voigtlander Bessa R, Santa RAE 1000. First time shooting this film and I love it. Very crisp!
