The weather today is wet – very wet, the sort of day where it’s good to stay in and do some developing! Knowing this was going to be the case, I mixed up my box of ID11 last night – so it had overnight to brew (permeate the solution). I decided I’d mix it toContinue reading “Darkroom: ID11 is go!”

35mm: Back to the 80’s
Last month when I visited the Purbeck Car Rally, I decided I’d take my little used Nikon FM2n for a day out. I took the 50mm f1.4 but mostly used the f2 35mm. Sometimes it’s good to just chill and forget about developers, filters and all that stuff, and just throw in a roll ofContinue reading “35mm: Back to the 80’s”
35mm: London on Delta 400
Last weekend I ended up in London. Was a time I went frequently, these days it gets less and less often. I do enjoy the “buzz” of London, but trying to get a few things done all in one day, often leaves me as much drained as invigorated these days. It’s an age thing! Anyway,Continue reading “35mm: London on Delta 400”
Darkroom: Film Pullers
I just came back from a trip to London, I shot 4 rolls of Ilford Delta 400. I chose the Canon EOS30 with the STM 40mm lens to take with me. As it turned out it was the correct choice. I found the lens the ideal perspective, the AF was helpful, especially when shooting quickly.Continue reading “Darkroom: Film Pullers”
35mm: More Purbeck Car Rally
I haven’t had time to scan the roll of colour film I shot at the rally, so this post is just a selection of images of quite random things that caught my eye on the day. I’m particularly pleased with the sharpness of these. That Nikon f2 35mm focusses down really close – 1 footContinue reading “35mm: More Purbeck Car Rally”
35mm: Purbeck Rally
Yes, more photo’s of cars and the like! The truth of the matter is that this summer in these parts the weather has been a bit dull and un-interesting. That, combined with working full time, and other commitments have meant that it’s been a bit of a meagre season for “days out” – which isContinue reading “35mm: Purbeck Rally”
35mm: Takumar Trek Pt7
The A31 speeds past Ringwood as a dual carriage way. At the end of part 6 of this ever growing epic, I got back to my parked car, just by the side of said A31. This time I start walking from just the other side of it. For those who may walk the whole trailContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt7”
35mm: Seeing Red
Not exactly a wordless post – but very nearly. Today’s theme: Red! Chatter: Leica M6 with Zeiss Biogon 35mm lens Fuji 400 Superia. Lab processed but scanned at home.
35mm: Pilford Colour Pt2
Another small collection from my roll of Fuji 400 X-tra today. I do like close up details of old cars, especially the hood ornaments and trim in black and white. More modern cars, and I use the term quite loosely here – I think I prefer colour! I made the photo above, mainly for theContinue reading “35mm: Pilford Colour Pt2”
Pilford: Colour!
I had a single use camera – a Fuji Quicksnap hanging around – it was a freebee that came my way a while ago. It was time that I used it up and was out-of-date by a year already. Why would I use a “suc” when I have an underused Leica M6 was the question?Continue reading “Pilford: Colour!”
