It's been a while since I made any exposures with the Mamiya C220 so I decided to put a roll of film through it using the 80mm lens. Nothing much to shout about, just a few still-life exposures. Film: Fuji Acros ISO: 80 Developer: Pyrocat HD 1:1:100 14 minutes 70 degrees

Exposure made with the Chamonix 5x4 camera using the standard 150mm lens. Film was Ilford FP4 and developed in Procat HD 1+1+100. Due to bellows extension, I had to go into reciprocity for 13 seconds which is not something I like doing especially when the subject is a close up because the...

I love this time of year for the quality of the low Sun, it can be a problem with pinhole when it is too high, they have a tendency to flair in an uncontrollable way, but when the sun is low it's not too much of a problem making it easier to shoot into the light. Pano Crop Portrait...

Taken in my home town of Otley in Wharfedale, I used my Zero image 4x5 pinhole camera at a setting of 50mm focal length, the aperture at this setting is f/176. The fun of pinhole photography is you do all the ground work, setting and levelling up the camera, try to estimate what the...

The negative was developed in Pyrocat HD using the minimal agitation method, to be more specific Pyrocat HD is a very sharp developer and when developed using low dilutions, long developing times with minimal agitation it gives very high acutance and excellent mid tone contrast. I am still...

The area around this 150+ year old tree has now been cordoned off because of its insecure state and I am guessing the felling procedure is pretty imminent. I was drawn to the way in which 60% of the trunk has decayed just as though part of its anatomy has been removed. FomaPan 200 sheet...
