Ilford SFX is the only Ilford film, I’ve not used before. I purchased a roll to give it a try. Why? I’ve never done any Infrared photography before, and while this isn’t a true infrared film, it does have sensitivity extended into that area. The graph from Ilford (Harman) above, shows where conventional film stopsContinue reading “Film: Ilford SFX”

35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea
Whilst taking a family member to hospital the other day, I had a good hour or so to fill, so I decided to have a wander. I have often been to Poole and written about it, but this time I thought I’d try a different patch. The Hunger Hill area is off the beaten walkingContinue reading “35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea”
Kodak’s Portra 800
With regular colour film being a bit difficult to get at times, I was surprised to be able to pick up a roll of Kodak’s Portra 800. At £18:99 for the roll it is perhaps the most expensive roll of film I’ve tried to date! At todays exchange rate it’s just under $21. I thought,Continue reading “Kodak’s Portra 800”
Agfa APX 400
I’ve been off colour this week, and I don’t mean C41! I had a tough week at work before taking a two week vacation on the Wirral. That was a great two weeks, very relaxing, full of interesting days, and plenty of film photography. Then it was back to work and the same old, sameContinue reading “Agfa APX 400”
Ilford Films
Over the years I’ve used most black and white films from most manufactures, the truth is though, I always come back to Ilford. These days with tales that Fuji Acros, Kentmere, Rollei, and the new Agfa APX, might all well be Ilford, it’s not difficult! I think if I could only use one black andContinue reading “Ilford Films”
The Source of the Winterborne
For those of you who have been following this little journey. I used my roll of Kodak Ektachrome E100 in my Canon EOS30 with the 40mm STM attached…. This is the 3rd and final part… Winterborne Stickland .. Is also recorded in the Domesday book. These days, has a population of around 600. The churchContinue reading “The Source of the Winterborne”
Kodak E100 Goes Winterborne Pt2
Last week I wrote about how I used my roll of “new” Ektachrome, tracing the route of the little river Winterborne. You can read that first post here. This post picks up the story as we arrive in the next village – Winterborne Kingston. At the time I arrived at the church, we were atContinue reading “Kodak E100 Goes Winterborne Pt2”
Kodak E100 goes Winterborne
The Film and Camera: Having purchased a roll of Kodaks “new” Ektachrome E100, it sat in my film cupboard waiting for use. A month or so ago it finally got used up. It took much longer to get processed in the E6 chemistry than it normally takes the lab to dev my C41. It hasContinue reading “Kodak E100 goes Winterborne”
The Last of Pilford
I think this little collection of images will be the last black and white that I post from my visit to Pilford Heath Transport and Heritage Show (Pilford on Ilford). I do have some colour car images left to share. The car above is a Jaguar MkII from 1959, and is owned by M.Nicholls inContinue reading “The Last of Pilford”
Kodak Ektachrome E100
When Kodak announced to the world it was bringing back Ektachrome in 2018, I was very pleased. I used quite a lot in the 80’s, eventually changing over to Kodachrome, which I used for much longer. With the demise of Kodachrome I swapped over to Fuji Sensia. As soon as it was made available IContinue reading “Kodak Ektachrome E100”
