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…
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…
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…
Abrantes, Portugal, once again, where I like to go on weekends, to visit my mother, and enjoy the quiet life of a small country town, and life follows a slower pace that I like to melt in around. With my 6006 measuring the light, f/16 focused at 10 meters, so everything from 3 meters to…
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…
In Italy this summer, based in Salerno, I took a trip by boat into Amalfi Coast, Amalfi itself, Positano, Ravello and Capri. Those places are absolutely marvelous. I have a few rolls from there, b&w and color that will make the next weeks. I took with me my faithfull Rolleiflex 6006, with the regular 80mm…
Starting this week there is a sort of Twitter event/project thing going on called FP4Party which involves shooting a roll of ilford FP4 during the 1st week of the month then post the results in the 3rd week on twitter and tag the images #FP4Party. Details can be found out in these links @FP4Party and emulsive.org/articles/introducing-fp4party Anyway I…
I went for a nice 7 mile walk on Saturday morning right to the top of the valley I live and according to my runkeeper app I reached a climb of 2700 ft which is a record for me especially as I have ben recently diagnosed with bloody arthritis in both my feet. Last week read and…
This week Holga goes back to the High Country. With special ‘soft focus effects’ because I had it set on the wrong focussing range. However, upon examination I actually like the effect. So here goes: Above, driving up Interstate Highway 70 going west out of Denver, CO. A really treacherous mountain road in bad weather,…
I love large format photography, the fun of using those cameras, the level of detail, the slow pace… here with my Graflex Crown Graphic, on a Schneider Apo-Symmar 180mm, FP4 developed in PMK, looking down on a portuguese village, Castelo de Vide… made 4 sheets, this one was the best!
