Reading Time: 2 minutes I went out to Light Night this year with the intent of doing quite a lot of photography, and indeed I did get quite a few interesting images on film cameras, which will be posted as and when. I spent quite a lot of time, …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Having been to a couple of parties here, I have been meaning for some time to visit here for some photography. With the Indian summer this last few days I’ve taken the opportunity to do so in the sunshine. Clayton Quarry, or more correctly Woodside …

Reading Time: 3 minutes I decided to load the little Franka AF-300 Plastic Camera I found in Scarborough with some black and white film – Fuji Neopan 100. This is (as the name suggests) an ISO 100 Monochrome film, with fine grain and as you can see from these …
