Part two in a rambling travelogue/diary recording a couple of weeks of travelling in April 2017, with one camera and only black and white film.

Week 15: A walk around the local greenbelt (still very brown) in late February. I can’t wait for that to change. Week 16: Another walk down to the Beach to take in the Winter Stations Design Exhibition. I love the effect of the Lensbaby Plastic in these images. Week 17: Even though I made many…
Just before Christmas I picked up a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4 in M42 mount which I had heard very good reports about. I have a few old M42 mount cameras and decided to test it with my trusty Praktica MTL 5B and some expired Kodak Colorplus. It was a pretty cold day but clear skies…
Another roll shot here in the South Wales Valleys in the fog that seemed to hang around forever. This time I used my trusty Nikon F100 this the Nikkor 24-85 vr and some long expired Fuji Superia 400. I have about 15 or so rolls of expired Superia 100/400 mix that I was gifted and…
We have had quite a few foggy days here in Wales so I decided to shoot a roll of HP5 at 1600 with the hope of accentuating the fog with the extra grain and contrast of pushing the film. I was quite pleased with the results, I really do like the look of HP5 when…
As I have said in a previous post I have a lot of expired Slide film stored in my fridge with the intention to cross-process it from time to time. This roll of Fuji Sensia 400 expired back in 2002, I am not sure how most of the rolls were stored which is why I am cross processing…
I am almost caught up with my processing/scanning for 52 Rolls so I am posting a few select images that I shot for the December #FP4Party challenge I have been part of recently just to fill in a gap. I shot my Nikon F80 with a Sigma 105mm f2.8 firstly attempting some still life stuff…
I have had my Olympus 35RC for quite a while but have been struggling to nail any focus when shooting wide open probably due to the very dim viewfinder patch. It was quite dim when I got the camera but my last couple of rolls have had a load of out of focus frames on…
I have realised that I am posting slightly out of sequence with my next 3 posts due to developing/scanning mishap. I had 6 rolls of film to catch up with and having not marked very well I have managed to process them out order in which shot. I want to get as much done this…
The story of this roll of film is a litany of mistakes. I thought I should try some black and white in the EOS3 only having shot colour with it. I had an unexpired roll of Ilford Delta 400 in the fridge so that was my choice (everything else is expired which introduces an additional…
What with the poor weather, work, the FP4Party stuff and Christmas fast approaching I am way behind with my 52 Rolls posts. I have 4 other rolls still to dev/scan and this roll is technically week 46 but as it was the 1st time I have ever shot this film I decided to process it…
I have seen the Ilford black and white disposable (or “single-use”) cameras in a drug store for the past couple of years and wondered about them. Finally I bought one of the XP2 versions (the other contains HP5 Plus). This is nearly as simple as cameras come. It has a plastic 30mm f-9.5 lens and 1/100th…
