Fomapan Classic 100 - 120 Film and more.

That is to be expected if you have bright sun or even bright cloud and if you use a film faster than FP4+ and ant to use a lens wide open you may find yourself struggling. I have a light weight tripod, not the best for stability and on the odd occasion when I need to get the image as sharp as possible it can be useful.

In fact many people who are disappointed by the performance of a particular lens when they use a tripod it shows exactly what the lens is capable of producing. Although this particular tripod is a lightweight the central column has a hook on the bottom and I have loop made from a thick zip-tie so I can put in in the hook and stand on the zip tie the tripod is as steady as my Manfrotto 55 which must be about 6 times a heavy or possibly more.

What I am trying to say is, with a slow film in your camera and a tripod you can use as slow a film as you wish

I have a light weight and a heavy weight tripod, never really used them, but I have every intention of doing so.
Once I did go to Rattray Head light house and I used it then, and it worked well for me that day.
But that was with a DSLR.
So this coming week I will get the tripod and use it where I live.

Been going through my film shots again.
And I just sent two away yesterday for processing.
Did a wee bit of processing, so quite happy with it., wish the sky was better.

Nice. I like the shadows.

Probably worth resizing before you post though, this image displays larger than the screen height.

I am still waiting for my films to be processed, so during this wait I have a lot of time to think.
Cameras and film, yes they have become my main hobby over the last couple of years.
Over this period I have taken lots of photographs, done lots of reading and joined a club.
Now I want to go into film photography, and the first thing I am finding out is I will have to be patient.
I have a 35mm SLR and a medium format folder camera which will take 6 x 6 images. With these, I want to produce some meaningful photographs. This I realise means slowing down and actually doing photography in a far different way than I do at present.
So I think there will be less photographs, and less random stuff within my content.
The DSLRs I will keep, but I may add some analogue cameras to my collection.
My SLR camera has proved its self, I am still not sure about the medium format camera, if it works, and if not what will I do about it.
I still have lots to learn, time will tell.

I sent you a Private Message about 10 days ago I have almost enough spare kit lying around to get you started with developing and printing which you can have for nothing if interested. To be honest it is getting in the way and I would be glad to get rid of it to a good home. I need the space.
