Camping Instax

I swear, I’ll post my actual film photos soon.  I’m just now sending a box of 16 rolls of 120 off for developing.  Meanwhile,  Instax. Camping with friends last weekend.   Instax is so fun, and almost no one knows that instant photos are possible these days, and affordable.  People are usually surprised to see them.…

2017: Roll 66 – #DeltaDefJam

A trip to the Nottingham Contemporary gallery to see the excellent ‘States of America’ show coincided with the first shoot week of the Emulsive Film #DeltaDefJam, so I took along my Leica and a roll of Ilford Delta 100 Pro…

Weeks 29-33: Urban walks and the beach in Toronto

I’m back after spending two months in New Orleans.  I went through 60+ rolls of film and now comes the waiting.  Each week I usually take in for developing and scanning only 2-3 rolls from vacation in addition to what I shoot now that I’m back home.  No point overwhelming the lab or myself! Week…

6/52 Agfa Vista 200

This week it is Agfa Vista 200.  This roll was shot at 100 since my other attempts with the film were a bit muddy.  I used the Contax G2.  I think I am getting the hang of the camera.  It is important to check the distance scale after automatic focus is achieved.  Sometimes the camera…

52 Rolls Week 35:52

Returning to my favorite reliable film this week Kodak T-MAX 400.  Recently attended the Open House at Walker Ranch in Boulder County.  Yes, KellyBlackDog has already posted his versions of this visit.  But we always seem to see very different things. See more from this expedition here.  Including 35 mm XD-11 images. Tech Info: Mamiya-7…

Wk 35 (2017) Yellowstone in Color

Kodak Portra color that is. I have a collection of images made at Mammoth Springs and Yellowstone falls. With bracketing there are six images on this roll. The remaining shots can be found on my new Word Press blog. The air was very smoky the whole trip due to multiple forest fires in Montana and…

Wedding Instax

I attended a wedding over the weekend, and shot some Instax Wide.   People loved it.  There are still so many people who don’t know that instant film is available, and affordable.  I really enjoy turning people onto it. I shot a few packs. When scanning these, I’ve found that if you darken the blacks, it…

2017, Roll 48: The Tramway Village

A family visit to the tramway village in Crich, Derbyshire with my Uncle-in-Law’s old Smena Symbol and a roll of Poundland Agfa. I still have no idea how to scan colour, and so these look nothing like my usual results from the same film. And in case you missed my previous post about photographing my…

5/52 Fogland

I took a drive to Fogland today and shot in harsh light (again). I am experimenting with the Contax G2, thinking I might use it on an upcoming trip.  It is a difficult camera to shoot, focus is a bit finicky.  There is no functional manual focus.  With the setup I had low contrast scenes…
