Yes, I’m still alive, although I’ve had a mini break from posting! This was not intentional, more a fact of I just haven’t done much in the way of photography for the last couple weeks! Hopefully things are about to change, just today, despite a forecast of yet more rain, as I finished breakfast, theContinue reading “Looking Forward”

AI and the stupidness of it.
Bolstered by the non-success of my new laptop, I’ve now proceeded to purchase a phone, or is it a camera or a paperweight? The new laptop is up and running, and I’m typing on it now. That seems fine. Of course I can’t switch it on or get to any programmes or do anything usefulContinue reading “AI and the stupidness of it.”

I’m coming towards the end of my stash of London images, you may be pleased to know! I have a few that I think work in their own right, that have no link they are just random images. As someone who used to make films once upon a time, that is one of the refreshingContinue reading “No Category”
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! I was up till 2am this morning seeing in the new year in style. Somewhat surprisingly I was up at 9 and showered! The start of a new year often gives me a burst of enthusiasm to get things done and put more effort in. It has often waned by theContinue reading “Happy New Year!”
Reminders Everywhere
Directly opposite my hotel in London was a base for the London Ambulance Service. In the entranceway were three ambulances a recent model and two from years past. I had to make photo’s. I took a moment at this point. My father worked for the railway back in the 60’s but always wanted to workContinue reading “Reminders Everywhere”
Autumn
I like autumn, only second to spring. I thought about why? My favourite thing is the contrast of the yellow in the trees and dying leaves against the blue of the sky. About 12 inches above my head as I write this is a Velux window. The three images above were taken without me leavingContinue reading “Autumn”
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”
Kodak’s Zoom SUC
I recently came across a Kodak Single Use Camera called the “Zoom”. I don’t remember seeing one before. It had the film removed for processing, and it appears that the back is designed to fracture at a certain point to facilitate that happening. A deliberate weak spot to crack open. You can see below whereContinue reading “Kodak’s Zoom SUC”
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”
Film: Buying a brick!
I was going to buy a “brick” of Ilford FP4+ in 35mm a few days ago. As some of you know, I have quite a large amount of out-of-date FP4+ to use up, but I’m going to be doing a few tests over the coming weeks and wanted to do it with fresh stock. RatherContinue reading “Film: Buying a brick!”
