35mm

Today was a bright day with plenty of sunshine so I dragged out the bulk loader and rolled 10 exposures and headed into town. I never had my light meter so had to rely in the internal meter. It wasn't until I had exposed about 8 frames that I had realised that the ISO was set to 400. With that...

From the local charity shop a few weeks ago, I took a chance and bought a Zenit B 35mm camera. Well if I am honest, it was been sold with a 200mm lens which caught my eye rather than the camera but the sales assistant wasn't to keen on splitting them. I offered £10 for the pair and we were both...

Kodak D23 is such a simple and extremely cheap developer to make ( just 2 components) and I find it works very nice with Ilford HP5 35mm. I mixed this up on July 17th 2021and my exercise today was to see if it was still active. Camera: Pentax SpotMatic SP-1000 Film: Ilford HP5 Developer: Home...

Knowing how the Kodak D23 is a soft developer which I like, I wanted to test it with HP5 using the Neewer LED panel as the light source. Rather than use the perspex diffuser, I placed a homemade scrim in-front of the LED panel to see if I could maintain a softer light source in the final image...

Having not done much with Diafine and 35mm HP5, I decided to do a test. Three exposures of the same scene with three different ISO ratings, (400,800,1600) The lighting was an LED panel set to daylight positioned just the left of the setup. Exposure: The base exposure was taken from a grey card...

I built a custom workstation for bulk loading film using a Leica AFLOO film winder and Leica ABLON film trimming template. Questions or comments welcome.

I've had a couple of rolls of Rollei infrared film (135 format) in my freezer for a few months, have acquired a Hoya R72 filter, and just purchased a Sunpak 622 Pro strobe. Today I was the lucky winning bidder on an IR head for the strobe. The plan is to shoot IR in low-light situations à la...

All shots taken on Ilford FP4 shot at ISO 100 and developed in D76 1+1. The first two are taken at Holywood on the South Shore Belfast Lough. The third is a massive pile a short walk from home, and the last one was taken in the garden..... minimal p&p as the lens is naturally contrasty.
