Hi, I'm new to the forum! Actually new to photography in general! I recently got back my first roll of film ever (taken by Canon New Autoboy Panorama). I would love to upload the photos, but it says available to upload & sell members only..

First welcome to the forum! If you have questions, we're here to help.
Many of us post images that have been uploaded to Flickr. If you have a Flickr account, use the share arrow then the BB code. Pick a size, large medium or small large is best, copy the link and paste it in your post. There's also a description of how to do it in the Forum & Miscellaneous. Hope this helps!
@omyo52 welcome! madNbad gave the perfect instructions on how to do it. Looking forward to seeing what you get out of a camera that I inexplicably do not own...
There are only two rules to film photography:
1. You cannot mess up. All you have done is create art.
2. See #1

Kodacolor 200 in my Nikkormat FTn with vintage MF Nikon lenses. (Most or all of these pics are also submitted in the MFNG thread.)
The conversion from film negative to final digital pic is convoluted enough that I can't be sure what gives a pic its characteristic features. But I'm really liking the end result from these. No special processing done except careful selection of film base color.

Oh my, you are so kind! Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for guiding me with great detail on how to upload the photos. It’s a lifesaver! Have a wonderful day.

This is so encouraging! Thanks for the warm welcome I completely fell in love with every step of film photography! Carefully noticing something worth capturing, thinking about how to frame the shot as best as I can since film is both expensive and limited, and then not being able to see the photo until development. Even dropping the film off at the lab and waiting for the scans feels like being a child waiting for Christmas!
My daughter's preschool graduation. The first 2 were on 8x10 with 100+ parents behind me while I composed and focused. To say that I rushed through it was an understatement. I remember thinking f*** it and closing the lens and loading the film.

I hope some light gear talk is permitted.
Any Coolscan 9000 users in this thread who scan 120? Can you confirm that this scanner cannot scan 6x12 in a single pass?
It can not. It can only scan 6x9 in one pass. You'll need to scan half the frame, move the negative and scan again and then stitch after. Also be sure focus, exposure etc is the same on both scans. Kind of a pita to be honest.
