From the outside there’s something 1950’s power station about Guildford Cathedral. If it looks a tad familiar, it’s known as “The Omen church” for it was outside the front door that Gregory Peck and Lee Remick had a spot of bother with their errant son! More recently the nave was used in Netflix “The Sandman”Continue reading “Guildford Cathedral on XP2”

Kodak Pro Image 100: One Roll Try
What is a “Sang”? What is Kodak Pro Image 100 like? I visit one to find out! Having never tried this film I purchased a roll a while back, it sat in my “film to use” box and finally I’ve gotten around to using it! Apparently it’s been manufactured by Kodak since 1997 (Analogue Wonderland),Continue reading “Kodak Pro Image 100: One Roll Try”
A few more from Bristol
Back at Easter I had a day trip to Bristol, it didn’t quite go to plan, I walked to Bristol Cameras, only to find them closed. Before I left I had discovered that the Cathedral was closed for the day, or rather I would be there about half an hour after it had closed havingContinue reading “A few more from Bristol”
Canon FT QL (1966)
The Canon FTQL was released in March 1966, as such is 3 years older than me! I wish I was in such good condition! They were offered with a choice of three different lenses. The fist option was 50mm f1.8, (as seen here), a 50mm f1.4 and a 55mm f1.2 (not 58mm as Wiki suggests!).Continue reading “Canon FT QL (1966)”
Guildford: with the Pentax ME Super
Three years ago I wrote a post about Minehead, back then I was shooting the last of my Agfa Vista 200 stash from Poundland. I was also using the Pentax ME Super that three years later I’m still enjoying using! While in Guildford I had a wander around the castle and gardens. The castle wasContinue reading “Guildford: with the Pentax ME Super”
Guildford: High Street
Although it’s not that far from home – and I’ve been there twice that I can remember, both my past visits to Guildford were tied up with film festivals. I’ve seen the same car park, stage door, and theatre interior twice, and nothing else of the town! It’s one of those places that is outContinue reading “Guildford: High Street”
Half a Dozen more from Bristol
The images here are a few more from one of the two rolls that I developed in D23 based Perceptol developer. After scanning more I’ve decided that I’m not that keen on that mixture! Yes, it does give a good tonal range, but to my eye they look a bit “muddy”. That could be partlyContinue reading “Half a Dozen more from Bristol”
SS Great Britain and HP5
I had a full day in the city of Bristol this weekend, it didn’t go quite as planned and so I ended up, rather unexpectedly visiting the SS Great Britain, designed by the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This wasn’t a bad thing as I’ve fancied seeing it for ages. Amazingly after over 100 years onContinue reading “SS Great Britain and HP5”
Ilford Perceptol from D23
I made up some new D23 developer last week. All formulars are for 1 litre and to calculate less is a pain and not worth the effort. 750ml is used, then 250ml of the old stock is added to make up to the litre, this is so that all the “goodies” that have built fromContinue reading “Ilford Perceptol from D23”
A Few from the Z10
A few posts back I wrote about the Pentax Z10. While I was out I shot an entire roll – here is a small selection of the remainder of the images that I liked, or rather, thought were just about worth sharing! All of the images are made on FP4 Plus and developed in FX55,Continue reading “A Few from the Z10”
