I’ve already posted the fact that by choice I lean towards slower fine grain films. Despite that, as a fan of Ilford Delta 100 and 400, it was only going to be a matter of time before I tried their 3200 offering. I made a recent visit to Dorchester Museum, now re-branded as the DorsetContinue reading “Ilford 3200”

HP4
No it’s not a typo, in the tin is some HP4. I recently purchased a box of “photo bits” mainly for the Olympus Af10 I wrote about here. Lurking in the bottom of the box was this old rusty tin, with a hand typed label, you see above. The first thing was to open itContinue reading “HP4”
Exeter Cathedral on XP2
For a few years now I’ve been working on a little project, which is to visit and photograph all of the Church of England Cathedral’s in Britain. This is usually combined with being closer to one on a vacation, rather than driving from one end of the country to the other to visit one! WhenContinue reading “Exeter Cathedral on XP2”
Kingston Lacy and Cinestill
I’ve re-joined the National Trust! For my readers outside of the UK, the”NT” is a charity that exists to “… help look after all our special places for everyone, for ever.” Kingston Lacy is the closest property to where I live and happens to be one of their largest estates, and houses one its mostContinue reading “Kingston Lacy and Cinestill”
Foma
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Fomafilm, having never used it before, what better time to try a roll or two? I was interested to know a little of their history, and discovered that the company was originally founded in Prague by Evžen Schier and J. Bárta, shortly after the end of the firstContinue reading “Foma”
Ilford Ortho
I’ve never used an Ortho film before, so I had to buy one! It’s languished in my film cupboard for ages, so this was the time to try it. I planned a trip to Stourhead Gardens, a National Trust property, not too far away. Loaded up the film in the Canon EOS 30, removed myContinue reading “Ilford Ortho”
Bridport and Symondsbury on Agfa APX 100
I’m off work for a few days, so I’ve decided to actually use up some of the many different film stocks I’ve brought in the last few months/years to try, and to use as many of my film cameras at least once each, as I can! First is Agfa APX 100. Bridport is a smallContinue reading “Bridport and Symondsbury on Agfa APX 100”
Ektar 1000
No, not a typo, back in the 80’s Kodak released Ektar film the first time around. I always thought it strange that it was from either extreme of speed. It was available in either 25 asa or 1000 asa. I can’t say that I took much interest back then, I don’t recall ever using theContinue reading “Ektar 1000”
Canon EOS 30 and Ilford Delta 400
I guess when it comes to a choice in cameras my preference might be described as being for “modern classics”. The Canon EOS 30 fits this description well. I’ll do a post on the camera sometime soon, but for now lets just say it’s one that I grab most often when I’m out for aContinue reading “Canon EOS 30 and Ilford Delta 400”
Ilford FP4 Plus – a lot of it!
A very dangerous time to surf eBay is after a gin and tonic on a hot day, luckily I never follow my own advice and ended up winning some FP4 Plus. It’s 23 years out of date, and 410 ft long!! As you can see from the tin it is indeed 23 years past it’sContinue reading “Ilford FP4 Plus – a lot of it!”
