I was gifted a roll of Fomapan 100. No box, so no idea what the expiry date was or indeed even if it was a viable film, for all I knew someone may have exposed it all and wound it back into the cassette! I quite often go to Poole for a walk, so decidedContinue reading “Stand: Rodinal”

Agfa APX in Poole
I believe that the “new” Agfa APX100 is the same as Kentmere 100. Question: Have you ever come across a supplier that offers both? Not that it matters any, it’s a couple of pounds cheaper than FP4, so if I ever get to the point where I need to reduce my film costs, I’ll beContinue reading “Agfa APX in Poole”
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”
Good Old Fuji C200
Not too long ago I was gifted a couple of rolls of Fuji C200. These, expired in Aril 2010. This is what I now refer to as “the original Fuji stuff” as opposed to the current “new Fuji C200”. If one reads the “new” box, it states made in the USA. Well Fuji don’t manufactureContinue reading “Good Old Fuji C200”
Haytor, Dartmoor
Another day spent up on Dartmoor on my recent vacation to Devon, saw me at Haytor, or Haytor Rocks to be exact. As usual for this trip I had my Hasselblad 501cm with me, the 80mm Zeiss CFi lens on and a roll of Ilford Pan-F plus in. By this point in my trip I’dContinue reading “Haytor, Dartmoor”
A Black and White Birthday!
I’ve just had my 55th Birthday! It seems incredulous that I am that old, my birth certificate confirms it however! This year my loved ones gave me a “Black and White” Birthday!! Way back in 1990 I went to the cinema, it was a very common event. It was one of my “trips” up toContinue reading “A Black and White Birthday!”
Single Photo: Tree in a Park
I made the photo above while on a day visit to Exeter. Although I’ve been to Exeter many times over the years, this was the first time I’ve managed a visit to the gardens. I enjoyed a wander around and made a few photo’s here and there. I was using my Olympus XA2 loaded withContinue reading “Single Photo: Tree in a Park”
Black-a-Tor Copse
Almost 2 years ago I wrote a short post about Whistman’s Wood on Dartmoor. You can read that here if you wish. On that visit I used my Bronica SQA and a roll of Kodak Ektar. It seems that it became too well known, overvisited, and it is hoped that both people and animal visitorsContinue reading “Black-a-Tor Copse”
A Lot of Old rubbish or A film Photographers Environmental Responsibilities
I’ve just come back from Devon (UK), I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the beauty, fresh air, and openness of Dartmoor. I also enjoyed using my Hasselblad and in total shot 11 rolls of 120 B/W film and 5 rolls of 35mm. I’ve now developed them all and have a scanning job aheadContinue reading “A Lot of Old rubbish or A film Photographers Environmental Responsibilities”
Re-acquainting myself with 6×6
I decided that the main camera I was going to take on my trip to Dartmoor, was the Hasselblad 501CM. I reasoned that as I would be making almost exclusively landscape photo’s, it would slow me down a bit, and the quality would be good. It was also a good excuse to use some IlfordContinue reading “Re-acquainting myself with 6×6”
