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…
I have been shooting every week for this 52 rolls project but as I said in my last post I am way behind with the processing. As I have a few days off for Christmas I am slowly getting through the backlog, here is roll 1. Expired Kodak Portra 400 VC shot with the Mamiya…
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…
Thanks to a tweet from a twitter friend I heard that MrCad was selling a lot of cold stored Kodak expired film and it was not available online only in store or via telephone. I rang up as soon as they opened and managed to bag 40+ rolls of 120 Portra 160vc, 400vc ……
We have had a couple of nice days weather wise here in Wales which is unusual this time of year so after my experimentation with cross processing out of my system for a while I thought I would use some Kodak Ektar for a change and make the most of the nice sunny (but cold) weather.The…

I have quite a bit of slide film in both 120 and 35mm in my film fridge and as most of it has expired I have embarked on a sort of project where I and going to cross process most of it over the next few months.I bought a C41 processing kit and so far…
I love shooting my Mamiya 645 it’s a lovely handling camera and I find it easier to compose my images in the 6×4.5 format but I seem to be shooting more and more landscape stuff and find the 80mm lens not wide enough. I happened to mention to a fellow photographer while in a twitter…
I have always had an affinity with Olympus cameras ever since school where I got to use my 1st proper camera an Olympus OM1. There is something about the look and feel of all the olympus family of cameras, I especially love my OM2 spot which is most probably my most used film camera. I have…
A few weeks ago I managed to pick up a Nikon F90 to replace my sadly defunct F90x that I loved to shoot with It was probably the 1st “Hi Tech” slr that I bought. I needed to test it so loaded up some lovely HP5 which I shot at box speed and processed in ilfotec…
A little late with this weeks post as it was also shot as a bit of a test for another challenge that I am taking part in … #NOGEARNOFEAR. The challenge consists of shooting an ilford disposable camera containing HP5 and trying to take 6 images of the 4 subjects … Architecture, Street, Portrait and…
