Continuing on from my last post, here are a few more from my black and white images I made while in Nepal. The film was FP4+. Most of the photo’s here were made in Bhaktapur, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and although it’s the smallest city in Nepal it’s also the most densely populated!Continue reading “Nepal: More Black and White”

Nepal: A Country in the Clouds
When I was young there were two places in the world I wanted to visit. The first was New York. I’ll write about that another time, let’s just say for now I was on the train going there, when a chemical plant caught fire in Buffalo, flames drifted across the tracks, halted the train andContinue reading “Nepal: A Country in the Clouds”
Why is film photography so cheap? (Canon EOS 1000)
What? I hear you exclaim! As you press the “Continue to Basket” on a roll of Portra at £20! Stay with me… The Canon EOS 1000 was introduced in 1991 and was produced for about 2 years. It was known as the Canon Rebel in the USA. There were a few variations, there was aContinue reading “Why is film photography so cheap? (Canon EOS 1000)”
A Few from Ferndown
You may remember in my previous post “A few from Wimborne”, I mentioned that I cut the film half way through – well this is the other half! The following day I did a similar walk around the place, Pentax ME Super in hand, 50mm f1.4 mounted and finished off the Agfa APX 100. ThisContinue reading “A Few from Ferndown”
Rodinal 1+100 (No gain – more grain)
For those of you who have been following my recent developer mini tests, I tried Rodinal 1+100. Another clip of the same film, 20 degrees, this time 1+100, 30mins, (semi-stand) agitating for 30 seconds at the start. Another 15 secs at the 15 minute mark, then pour out at 30. Again the grain is worseContinue reading “Rodinal 1+100 (No gain – more grain)”
A few in Wimborne with the ME Super
I had an hour or two to spare, and wanted to pick up a magazine. At one point I got 4 or 5 magazines on monthly subscription, some from their start – once I’d filled an entire book case with out-of-date information, and a ton of paper, the whole lot got recycled, and I cancelledContinue reading “A few in Wimborne with the ME Super”
A Walk Continued #2
Continuing on – where once was a Roman wall now are “west walks” along the west side of town. The borough gardens run parallel, always a pleasant break in a working day when the weather is nice, although I’ll admit to sitting in the band stand with my coat on and eating a sandwich, inContinue reading “A Walk Continued #2”
A Walk Continued
Last week I shared a couple of posts where I went out with my Pentax Spotmatic and 50mm standard lens for a short photowalk. I had been given an out-of-date twin pack, containing two rolls of Fuji 200. I only got to about the halfway point of the proposed walk and ran out of bothContinue reading “A Walk Continued”
Rodinal, FP4 and Grain Reducer!
Last autumn I purchased my first ever bottle of Rodinal, Adonal, as made by Adox to be exact. Same recipe, give or take, different manufacturer. I liked the idea of it’s economy, and it’s legendary shelf life more. I had just returned from an autumn break to London where I’d shot quite a bit ofContinue reading “Rodinal, FP4 and Grain Reducer!”
More of Poole
Poole Harbour is the second largest natural harbour in the world. It’s about 14 square miles. Only topped by Sydney, in Australia. Not the busiest port or deepest, just by area. In fact a large percentage is only about half a meter deep, so ferries and bigger ships have to be careful and follow channelsContinue reading “More of Poole”
