As I described in my first 52 Rolls post of 2017, I plan to slow things down a little this year. After last year’s excesses, I hope that by leaving time between the taking of the picture and choosing what to show, I’ll not be tempted into posting the pictures that might have been difficult or…
I’ll be writing up my 52 Rolls summary in the next week or so, but suffice to say that shooting so much film through 2016 has been a complete game-changer. When I read about the project (on Emulsive) in Poland the week before last New Year, I couldn’t have imagined that it would have become…
After my trip with Iain to Poland a couple of weeks ago, we were keen to get back to doing what we do, shooting carscapes and infrastructure, usually by night. Since 52Rolls has led to film photography taking over my life, I now take my Yashica along on these ‘fishing’ trips and shoot (lovely, lovely)…
This week I shot a roll of expired Kodak Porta 800 in the Yashica Mat 124 G. Being indoors I used a tripod. I wanted to try and recreate the shots I had seen when people photograph their record collection. it was an interesting experiment as firstly the meter in the Mat 124 only goes…
Roll 82 of the year and I’m back to my all-time favourite film, Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100. Over the years I’ve had some tremendous results from the various forms of Neopan as it seems to handle whatever I throw at it, from portraits to night-time motorways. And on this roll, it delivered on both… My friend…
So this is my first post to introduce my new (old) camera the Yashica Mat 124G. I took a little walk and shot a roll of Fujifilm Neopan 400cn. This is a C-41 film. First quick impressions of the camera. I love it. Oh you want to know some more ok then. It is very…
For week 2 of the #FP4Party, I thought I’d use that roll of 120 that’s been hanging around in the fridge for a few years. I’m not sure why, but it appeared to have been put into a camera and then taken out again. That meant no packaging, or the little bit of tape that…
My last couple of posts during week 32 (here and here) saw me hit the 52nd roll mark and explained that this project had become so all consuming that I’d spent a lot of money on another film camera, albeit a rather special one. Less than a week later, and I was off on a trip…
Still catching up. This post is the first of a couple of rolls that begin to fill the gap between my last regular post and this week’s update. It’s a roll of Portra 400, shot through the Yashica that started out in China on a very brief business trip there and ended back in the…
It was June 17th last time I posted on the 52 Rolls Project, but I’ve still been shooting just about enough to claim a roll for each of the intervening weeks. Those films will be off to the a lab (once I decide which) tomorrow. For week 29 though, I’ve shot, processed, scanned and blogged the…
You may recall that we moved house a couple of months ago. The new place is great – a big house, great garden, nature reserve right next door. You get the picture. In fact, the only thing I can fault the place for is the terrible beer in the village’s one pub. Cossington (pop. 568) is…
After three posts (1, 2 and 3) and five rolls of film, I’m sure you’re losing patience with my holiday pictures of Tenerife. Well, like it or not, I have one last roll to share with you…
