A few posts back, I shared some images I made on my OM1n with a roll of Kodak Gold 200. That same afternoon, while the weather was still good, I popped along to our local National trust House, to finish off the roll, and capture some of that beautiful autumn colour.

A New Colour Film!
Today brings both good and bad news! The good first. At 4pm today (UK) time, Harman lifted the embargo on their new film – and it’s colour!! Harman Phoenix 200 is a colour C41 film, but unlike most it has no orange mask layer. But there is further news… I’ll cut and paste the officialContinue reading “A New Colour Film!”
Konica VX 200
I recently went to Kingston Lacy, the local National trust house, to make a few photo’s of the autumn colour. I Finished off the roll of fresh Kodak Gold that I had in the camera. In some ways this is a “cart before the horse” post as I haven’t posted those yet! However, I thenContinue reading “Konica VX 200”
Olympus OM1n
When we look at how quickly digital camera models cycle these days, and look back at “classic” film SLR’s, models that were manufactured for a decade or more seem incredible, but that’s how it was. The Olympus OM-1n was no exception and arrived on the scene in 1979. It was a “new” version of theContinue reading “Olympus OM1n”
Kodak: Tri-X
I recently shot a roll of Kodak Tri-X, to the best of my knowledge it’s the first roll I’ve used. I took a walk at the West Moors Country Park. It’s a good place for a walk especially if it’s been raining a bit, as the paths are all tarmacked. Just at the entrance toContinue reading “Kodak: Tri-X”
Darkroom: Processing Film
I was recently asked by Steve in comments if I’d share my work flow for scanning. I’m happy to – but that got me thinking that I’ve never actually thought about what I do and why, it’s just a process that has “developed” (pun intended) over the decades! I’ll do two posts – one aboutContinue reading “Darkroom: Processing Film”
Kew in Colour
Towards the end of my week in London, I took the tube out to Kew Gardens. It has it’s own tube stop! I like gardens and gardening and have wanted to go for ages – but never seem to have made it until now! It was a nice sunny day, and I was ready forContinue reading “Kew in Colour”
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”
The Tarrants: Pt5
As well as being a type of knot, and a moth(!) (Lycophotia Porphyrea), the Lovers True Knot is the pub that sits on the main road at Tarrant Keyneston. The B3082 is the main road from Wimborne to Blandford, two of the bigger towns in these parts. The road runs right in front of theContinue reading “The Tarrants: Pt5”
Darkroom: Testing Developers
So why did I just run though a whole roll of fresh FP4+ on the scene above? The answer is mastery! Well maybe that’s a bit grand – let me explain my thoughts… Chapter One: The Film One of the many joy’s I’ve had in the last few years, accelerated by starting this blog, hasContinue reading “Darkroom: Testing Developers”
