Step 5: Take Pictures
Take lots of pictures.
NOTE: Since there's no way of knowing what frame you're on, use the "34 click rule." This means that, after every picture, turn the winding knob and count 34 clicks. This gives you enough room on the film so that your pictures don't overlap.
ANOTHER NOTE: 35mm film is considerably shorter (as in height) than medium format, meaning that your pictures will be smaller than the viewing window. Solve this problem by setting up your shots as if the top 20% and bottom 20% will be cut out of the frame (because they will).

How many pictures do you get out of a 35 mm roll? I used the 34 click rule, but I don't know when it's done. Help!

I haven't done this in a while, but i remember that you can definitely feel it when it ends. My guess is a little less than 24 because I think 34 clicks gives more room than a regular camera would.
