Reading Time: 2 minutes These 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: 3 minutes I’ve just got the second film back from expreiments with the new practika camera. Again, I am blown away by how these look, the feel of them is very different from digital and far more forgiving of exposure. The first set here are from an …
