New darkroom vid on YouTube - youtu.be/DdF5O1ibeus If you are new to #darkroomprinting then understanding a “Test Strip” is vital.

Revisiting some negatives from an old project

I’m thinking ahead to going to see the table tennis championships in Wembley next month. I don’t normally use long lenses and wondering if I go Minolta and zoom telephoto, or pen ft. I’m leaning towards the pen with or without the 3x converter.

This months darkroom livestream is on Thursday. It’s kind of snuck up on me! As work has been so busy these last few weeks I’m wondering what to print, maybe it’s time to revisit an old project 🤔🎞️ See you Thursday 8.30pm on YouTube: www.youtube.com/live/QgAyWoF...

Meet the Photographer - Tom Warland half-frameday.com/2025/09/01/m... @tombobwarland.bsky.social

I can’t remember the last time I printed a digital photo—let alone hung one. Today I framed a darkroom print from last night and added it to the wall alongside: Janine Weidel, Lewis Bush, Gene Smith, Brendan Barry, Simon Roberts + more. This is how photography should be seen.

Really productive printing session this evening. This was the first one I have live-streamed to YouTube and although I lost connection near the end, it worked well and was good to have some new faces tune in for brief windows of time and ask questions. Bring on the next one

Yes we know it’s Adox, but there is something very cool about putting Leica film in a 1950s Leica. And that packaging is lovely too!

Video of the panoramic holga and a mystery film is now on YouTube. youtu.be/4Q5DKOsR4os?... Give a subscribe :) it helps!

I’ve just posted some holga panoramas to Instagram. Years ago I was very loud in my hatred for Holga as plastic crap. Who would have thought I’d end up using a couple of holga models relatively often and enjoying their distorted charm.

Fancy a curry in southall? Join my on Saturday and bring a camera. Full details at @photowalkme.bsky.social

Next Latent Hour Livestream will be on my YouTube instead of Instagram. Please subscribe for updates: youtube.com/@tombobwarla...

This months #LatentHourLivestream will be on FRIDAY 29th instead of the Thursday due to family commitments. If that wasn’t enough this will be the first test of switching to YouTube - hopefully with a full setup running but failing that it will be sent via my phone still. Might be 4x5 negs this time

Somerset & Exmoor Cyanotypes: Seaweed from Kilve Beach and heather from Porlock Hill, Cockle Shells from Brean Beach; printed onto paper handmade at Watchet Marina by Two Rivers Paper Mill.

Back from a week in the West Country. I bulk loaded a dozen canisters of 35mm and didn’t get anywhere near through all of them, but I did use my 4x5 more than I anticipated and looking forward to developing the results. Also used my Jaggle Tank and gifted the print to the tea rooms and gained 🍦

Darkroom live stream at 8.30 uk time tonight. Hopefully the last one on Instagram before the move to YouTube & twitch.

It’s always satisfying when you get the end of a bulk reel of 35mm. This should see me through the next few weeks.

Should really post the advert at the same time 😂

I know I’ve said this before, but this month’s Latent Hour Livestream will be the last one on Instagram. Now all the cameras are set up in the darkroom so if all goes smoothly this time next month we will be live on YouTube & Twitch. See you Thursday for the big farewell to Instagram Live! 8.30pm

First print since repairing the 4x5 enlarger yesterday.

What a fun time on the @analoguewonderland.bsky.social #bigfilmphotowalk today in #stalbans. We made this group photo on @ilfordphoto.com positive paper and developed it in the pub garden using a Jaggle Tank. Full video on my Instagram! www.instagram.com/reel/DLdFkuG...

There is no concept, no context, no depth. As a photograph with intent it is nothing. But composition, lighting, tone, texture; It is pretty much spot on perfect.

Link to the darkroom live stream tonight for anyone who wants to join. Starting in 40min www.instagram.com/tombobwarlan...

TWO HOURS until this months darkroom Live Stream. Find me on Instagram at @tombobwarland. 8.30 uk time

We have a plan for this week’s live stream. At the weekend I attended a workshop by Sam Nash as an opportunity to do something new and outside my comfort zone; and then expanded this by using a filmstock I’ve never tried before! So come join me printing from these films and let’s see what we can do

If you are coming to Wales&West Show on Saturday or the St Albans route of the @analoguewonderland.bsky.social big film photowalk be sure to grab a key ring made from my old darkroom prints

That was a mental crash this morning; I was convinced it was a Saturday. Chatting to my wife and daughter before getting out of bed. Then I was let in on the fact it’s only Tuesday and I still have the whole week to go 😭

There are still places available on several of the @analoguewonderland.bsky.social Big Film Photowalk 2025; including mine in #StAlbans Hertfordshire. Sign up at www.analoguewonderland.co.uk or through their app

YouTube: an intro to half frame cameras including the #pentax17 #alfietych and #olympuspenft available from 12.30BST 5/06/2025 youtu.be/DXi0om7CnGo

So which one do you prefer? The print or the negative scan? @ilfordphoto.com #kentmere200 on Ilford MGRC Gloss paper, film from @analoguewonderland.bsky.social

Thanks those of you who were able to join my live stream tonight. #kentmere200 is a film that is definitely above its price range. Get yours from @analoguewonderland.bsky.social now

Find me on Instagram at tombobwarland for the livestream tomorrow night

Had a good conversation on this podcast about film photography, darkroom printing, and what keeps analogue work relevant. If you’ve ever been curious about what happens after the film gets developed—or why anyone still prints in a darkroom—this might be a place to start. youtu.be/flr9oIdJxuc?...

Great day today exploring St Albans and planning out the route for that part of Analogue Wonderland’s Big Film Photowalk. Route is planned out alongside some fun little analogue activities along the way.

Less than a week until my next live stream in the darkroom. This month is all about Kentmere 200. Get a cup of tea and come join me on Instagram next Thursday 8.30pm UK time

One week to go until the next #latenthourlivestream - “still” on Instagram for a bit longer. This time based around the new #kentmere200 film from @ilfordphoto.com

I don’t usually comment on American politics. There’s enough political drama here in the UK for that. But want to piss off old Mr Orange Tits? Listen to the two intro tracks on this - up the stream count. music.apple.com/gb/album/lan... #springsteenforno1
