After my last 2 disaster rolls,I had to go into the back and check why I was getting nothing on film …and like I thought , I loaded the film wrong!? How does this happen? I really don’t know what I was thinking.So this morning I had to go out and shot a roll and…
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…
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 been making the most of the lovely sunshine we have been having recently … the weather here in Wales has been a bit nuts, lovely sunshine one day, torrential rain the next and then last weekend we had the 1st smattering of Hail/Snow up on the mountains. These two images were shot…
Yeah yeah, I know its still November and believe me I’m a stickler for Christmas movies and mince pies are not allowed until December 1st onwards. However Ilford photo ran a little competition to produce a cover for thier Christmas cards shot on Ilford film. Now unfortunately I got ill (man-flu) so completly ran out…
I was attempting to write a list of all the various single rolls of expired film I have stored in my fridge last week and when all done I realised that I had 6 rolls of Superia 100. I love shooting Superia 400 but I don’t remember shooting much 100 before so as it was…
52 rolls
