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”
A Photowalk
Nothing new to see here! Sometimes I like to just load up a roll of film, take the camera with me, wherever I’m going, and make a few photo’s here and there of what I like and catches my eye. This time I took with me my Spotmatic – I have two, the SP andContinue reading “A Photowalk”
Ilford FP4+ Movie Film -end credits
Back in Spring of ’21 I purchased a 410ft can of out-of-date Ilford FP4+ movie film. As far as I can tell it’s exactly the same as regular FP4, although, as it’s intended to rattle through a movie camera at 18 inches a second – give or take, it does have subtly different (slightly rounded)Continue reading “Ilford FP4+ Movie Film -end credits”
Seeing Red!
Harman are at it again! Another film, they are calling their “first true creative film”. As you can see it’s Redscale. My understanding is that this is simply shooting through the “back” (non-emulsion) side of the film, thus hitting the red layer first, and almost blocking the blue and green layers. Like Phoenix, this isContinue reading “Seeing Red!”

Pan-F at Dawlish
The day I had a walk around Dawlish Warren turned out to be a bright sunny day, even though it was mid-October. Bright enough that I decided I could use up my last roll of Pan-F from my film stash. There is talk with this film that the latent image degrades quite quickly once exposed,Continue reading “Pan-F at Dawlish”
Short Photo Walk
When I have a little spare time I try to get out and have a short walk. If it is somewhere different then so much the better, even if its not, I take the camera with me. These are a few snaps made on such an outing – no theme, just what caught my eye!Continue reading “Short Photo Walk”
When colour is too old
I had an old roll of Colorplus 200, expired in 2002. I’ve used this sort of age film before, and always allow an extra stop for age. Many people suggest that 1 stop per decade is a good idea. My experience is that while 1 stop is good, going to 2 or more just addsContinue reading “When colour is too old”
