Description

Meet your guide in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and embark on a small-group analog photography walk. Designed for beginners, curious travelers, and photographers, this experience will help you feel more confident using a 35mm film camera. Learn how film photography works, including ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focusing, exposure, metering, depth of field, and how to work with changing natural light. Discover practical composition techniques, how to notice interesting light and backgrounds, and how to slow down and make more intentional photographs instead of simply taking many pictures. Walk through visually interesting areas of Las Palmas, photographing a mixture of street scenes, architecture, local details, people, shadows, textures, and the coastline. The route may include locations around Las Canteras, La Isleta, or Vegueta. Receive individual guidance throughout the walk and get help understanding the controls on your own camera. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, creative, and conversational rather than like a formal classroom. Bring a working film camera and a roll of film, although your guide may be able to provide or lend cameras depending on availability. Before beginning, check each camera, load the film correctly, and review the basic settings. During the session, practice choosing settings for different lighting situations and learn how to avoid common mistakes such as camera shake, missed focus, accidental double exposures, or incorrectly loaded film. At the end, learn how to rewind and safely remove your film and get recommendations for local or mail-in developing and scanning.
