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point I got 4 or 5 magazines on monthly subscription, some from their start – once I’d filled an entire book case with out-of-date information, and a ton of paper, the whole lot got recycled, and I cancelledContinue reading “A few in Wimborne with the ME Super”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 I had been given an out-of-date twin pack, containing two rolls of Fuji 200.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”
El Galeón Andalucía
I loaded another roll of my very out of date Ilford FP4 movie film that is now 26 years out of date! Set off with my Leica M4-P with only the 35mm lens, and did my usual walk around Poole in Dorset. I say usual although I haven’t done it for a few months! ToContinue reading “El Galeón Andalucía”
More Fuji C200
Continuing directly on from my last post, this delightful cottage borders the river Frome as it passes through Dorchester, or I suppose more accurately a diverted Mill Stream from it. The delightful “Hangman’s Cottage” is indeed where the hangman once lived. Indeed standing on his front door step could have seen the gallows when erected.Continue reading “More Fuji C200”
