While I’m waiting for my film to come back from the lab I took another look at an image I made with my oldest camera, my father’s 90+ year old Mayfair Box camera. A scene from Waterhead in the Lake District. #HP5 #BelieveInFilm #photography #filmphotography #filmsnotdead #blackandwhitephotography

Finishing off a roll of Ilford XP2 in my Zenit B but first a drink and bite to eat, then off to capture some interesting clouds in the hope the light holds. #CamerasAndDrinks #ilfordXP2 #ZenitB #BelieveInFilm #photography #filmphotography #filmsnotdead

‘Clouds across the Mersey’. Trying out some digital photography using my vintage Canon lenses. Canon R100 and a Canon FD (breech lock) 28mm 1:2.8. Y(K2) Yellow filter and an Urth FD-RF adapter. #photography #blackandwhitephotography #nature #landscape #landscapephotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky

‘Bridge reflections’. Zenit B and the Helios 50-44M lens. Kodak Ultramax. A very sunny September day in Southport. Kodak Gold may have been a better choice but it is what I had loaded. #BelieveInFilm #photography #SlowPhotography

‘Funland’. Zenit B and the Industar 50-2 lens. Kodak Ultramax. A very sunny September day in Southport. Kodak Gold may have been a better choice but it is what I had loaded. #BelieveInFilm #photography #SlowPhotography

Zenit B and Meyer Görlitz Orestegor 200mm. Kodak Ultramax. Sadly it looks like the bright sun has created either lens flare or I have. Light leak I’ve not noticed before. #BelieveInFilm #photography #SlowPhotography

Another iPhone photograph taken from the ancient Roman Walls of Chester. The canal lies to the right below. Parts of this section of the walls are the oldest dating back 2000 years. #blackandwhitephotography #iphonephotography #Chester #Clouds

Currently scanning a processed roll of Kodak Ultramax. In the meantime an iPhone photograph of a storm coming in, taken from the Roman Walls of Chester. #blackandwhitephotography #iphonephotography #Chester #Storm #Clouds

I thought I would make a print of this photograph. It’s about time I actually printed something. ‘Ascent’ #SlowPhotography using a Zenit B. Delta 400 film. #blackandwhitephotography #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #IlfordDelta400 #photoprinting

’Ascent’. #SlowPhotography with a Zenit B, Leningrad meter and Delta 400 film, Helios 44M lens. #blackandwhitephotography #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #filmisnotdead

’October leaves’. #SlowPhotography with a Zenit B, Leningrad meter and Delta 400 film, Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Orestegor 200mm lens. This lens was a lucky charity shop purchase and is performing very well. #blackandwhitephotography #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #filmisnotdead

‘Escape to the sun’. Yet more #SlowPhotography with a Zenit B, Leningrad meter and Delta 400 film, but this time using the tiny Industar 50mm lens. The unintentional lens flare adds to this one. #blackandwhitephotography #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #filmisnotdead

More #SlowPhotography with a Zenit B, again with the Meyer Optik Orestegor 200mm lens, Leningrad meter and Delta 400 film. The 200mm lens was at full stretch with this one. #blackandwhitephotography #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #filmisnotdead

More #SlowPhotography with a Zenit B, and this time a Meyer Optik Orestegor 200mm lens, Leningrad meter and Delta 400 film. I found the light illuminating the leaves in the wood made a good subject. #blackandwhitephotography #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #filmisnotdead

Out for some #SlowPhotography with a Zenit B, Meyer Optik Helios 44mm lens, Leningrad meter and Delta 400 film (first time for this film). Thanks @stigofthedump.bsky.social for the advice. #blackandwhitephotography #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #filmisnotdead

Waiting for a roll of Delta 400 to be processed. Fingers crossed. In the meantime a photograph of morning light catching some Pampas Grass. #blackandwhitephotography #iphonephotography #nature

At last! I managed to get out with my Zenit B and some Ilford Delta 400 for some #slowphotography.

@warboyssnapper.bsky.social recent post on #SlowPhotography got me thinking, thanks Andrew. Here are a few thoughts on the Zenit B and slow photography… gerrysimonsphoto.blogspot.com/2025/09/zeni... #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #filmisnotdead

@warboyssnapper.bsky.social recent post on #SlowPhotography got me thinking, thanks Andrew. The post reminded of one of the key reasons I moved back to using film. So on my next outing I’ll be using this… #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography #photography #filmisnotdead
