These images were made at the Estates of Sunnybrook in Toronto which is comprised of three historic buildings. The site includes two country manor houses and a coach house built in the late 1920/30s. They were the family homes of two wealthy men, James Stanley McLean, President and founder of Canada Packers (McLean House originally…
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…
Somehow I got off course and now have an “extra” week so I’m squishing two together here. I think because the first “week” of 2016 was only 3 days I skipped over it. Anyway, images for this post include the rest of the film shot during the photo walk, including a roll that illustrates the…
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…
Yes, again in the field around the city, Abrantes, Portugal, by Christmas season, sticking in the Reality So Subtle 6×17 another old Delta 100 from the first batch, completely outdated… pure point and shoot… 4 seconds exposure, and this is what comes out in the scan!…
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 a little backlog of film stuff to post what with the 52 Rolls project, the #FP4Party and both of my other blogs. I have processed quite a few rolls in the last 3 weeks both colour & B&W and managed to edit a few and post individual images but this is the 1st…
I have been shooting film like mad over the last couple of weeks especially since getting a C41 home kit. So between the 52 Rolls project, The FP4 Party and playing around with cross processing I have a backlog of stuff to post here and over on my other 2 blogs (see at bottom of…
This week – a chance to get out a little more but not much. Now, the sun is still shining brightly, but it’s lower on the horizon, and the leaves are starting to turn. We spent an evening with some friends on the banks of the seine in the center of Paris. The passing boats…
Overlapping nicely with the 52 Rolls project, last week saw the first ‘Shoot Week’ of the #FP4Party.The plan is to shoot a roll of Ilford’s iso125 stalwart during the second week of each of the next four months, posting the results during the fourth week. I chose the Lomography Sprocket Rocket, loaded up the film and shot…
Three good ones from a walk in Salerno with another roll of Kodak 125PX (developed as ever in PMK), those great emulsions of the past gone. Again with the 6006, measuring light like no other. Focused to 5m, with f11 or f16, everything is in sharp from 3m to infinity… poor man auto-focus!
There are not many things that make me sad, but there is one thing that makes me really sad: it’s when an emulsion goes out of production! Like a friend leaving, or going away forever or into heavens… Over the years I saw some of those friends leaving and emulsions too, for example, Kodak Chromes……
