The Royal Horticultural Society (try saying that whilst drunk!), have 5 “show” gardens in the UK. The closest one to me is in Wisley, just over half a kilometre from the M25, closest point to point! 6km from Guildford or Woking. I took and hour and a half to drive there – coming back theContinue reading “In the Wisley Greenhouse”

Kentmere 200
Having used Kentmere 100 and Kentmere 400, when Harman came out with 200 – of course I was going to try it. Analogue Wonderland had a deal and I was sending them a couple rolls of colour for processing, so I added a couple of rolls in! I exposed this roll in my Nikkormat FT2nContinue reading “Kentmere 200”
Ilford Delta 100
I’ve just treated myself to a present! I got results that I really liked from Ilford Delta 100 developed in FX55. I’m coming to the end of my long roll of FP4 movie film, as I write this, I have 7 rolls left, so I thought I’d use Delta for a bit. If I’m honest,Continue reading “Ilford Delta 100”
Hasselblad Hike
After completing a Takumar Trek, I thought I’d try a Hasselblad Hike. Of course one of the joys and benefits of having such a collection of cameras is that one can choose the ideal tool for the job. Being a little out of shape, taking a longish walk, the obvious choice is the heaviest cameraContinue reading “Hasselblad Hike”
Longham Lakes
While I had my first roll of Kodak Pro Image 100 in my trusty Nikon F3 I took a walk to another local spot that I’ve neglected to visit, even though it’s within walking distance of home – Longham Lakes. This was once fields noted for brown hares. In 1994 planning permission was sought andContinue reading “Longham Lakes”
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”
Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon
It’s been a while since I used any film in my Zeiss Ikon 517/16. I loaded up a roll of Kodak Ektar and set off on a glorious sunny day, for a walk around the local town of Wimborne Minster. No purpose other than to have a walk and make 12 images! I did discoverContinue reading “Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon”
Developing 110
There are certain times when I’m in mid flow doing something and I think to myself “why ever did I start this”? Going back about 4 weeks, I ordered amongst other things, a roll of Lomography Orca B/W 110 film from Analogue Wonderland. I see that it’s made in Chechia so I’m assuming it’s actuallyContinue reading “Developing 110”
Kentmere 100 in 120
Today I’m posting a few more frames from my first roll of Kentmere 100, in the 120 format. I found quite a bit to like. Although this roll was free to me – it’s 20% cheaper than FP4 (according to today’s price at Analogue Wonderland), these day’s that’s not to be sniffed at. I alsoContinue reading “Kentmere 100 in 120”
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”
