Though Film photography is not a “subject” as such, with there broadly being only two media for photography (the other being digital) it sits as a theme, at least.
Reading Time: 3 minutesI am going back a bit through some of my archives and pulling out a few old experiments to look over. This is partly personal – I have not done as much photography for a while, and also have a pile of undeveloped film I …
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhile I am busy archiving photos and generally sorting stuff out a little, I found these scans. Every year at High School we had a “Special Week” – with various activities. One year was a photography workshop where we took and developed out own films. …
Reading Time: 2 minutesBack in the glory days of film photography, there were all manner of cheap and cheerful fun cameras doing the rounds. One of the best of these has to have been waterproof cameras. Often you could pick these up as disposables but there were also …
Reading Time: 4 minutesI have been going back a bit to get some more ‘blog style posts onto this site (something I originally aimed to do) – inspired in part by managing to edit a good selection of film scans which have been hanging about for ages, and …
Reading Time: 2 minutesNot content with this being a random effect from poor light seals (or indeed poor construction) it is now possible, courtesy of Revlog to purchase film that is pre exposed to give these (and other) effects. What a time to be alive. I am being …

Reading Time: 2 minutesI bought this in a mixed bundle of rare and respooled films from Nik and Trick in Folkstone. I misremember exactly what their specifications for it were, but what I got from it has a nice atmospheric tone and character. But I am not sure …
Reading Time: 2 minutesThese images came from one of my experiments – I put a roll on Ilford Pan F into a Fujica AX-1 SLR. Being a lovely fine grained slow film I thought I would play with some fine art style nature imagery. This is the result, …
Reading Time: 6 minutesIt’s been a busy weekend here. I must confess I was a little apprehensive about all this. Not really by choice, but simply because I haven’t really found many people as obsessed as I am with taking pictures , much of my photography has been …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI also shot a bit of film at the wedding I have talked about in my last post – largely for amusement and experimentation. I think these have actually come out very well – but I can’t imagine shooting a whole wedding event to film, …
Reading Time: 5 minutesWelcome back to my crazy holiday in Wales. By Saturday, the snow had really set in. These are my adventures from that point onwards. Saturday On Saturday morning, we all decided to get the bus into Betws-y-Coed, so that Nain (the Welsh word for Nana) …
