We are digging out some cupboards in our utility space. Amongst the other detritus I found this. I cannot see a date on it, but I am guessing it is at least 20 years old. There is no sign of the lab still existing on a web search. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

An hour before breakfast - the reveal

#believeinfilm #filmphotography My neighbour. He knew about my photography, and I had shown him selections of my printed work. I noted window light lit him gently and he agreed to a portrait. Nikon FM2n. 50mm. HP5+. FX39 II. This is a flawed print, pinprick dots by left ear. His copies are fine.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography I have just checked, I have not exposed a frame of film for 19 days! In Mar and Apr, I was"inspired" to get out and make images due to #fp4party and #folderweek. But May, recently has featured harsh light from a high sun in blue skies. I think I may go later .... 🤞

Take two or three - the reveal

Thank you so much @paulasmith.co.uk ..... my copy of your zine, No 10 of 100, has turned up in the post today! It is quite superb. Both the photography and the quality of the production .... on very good quality paper. I am so glad to have this.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography For years we have had season tickets to Hodnet Gardens. It is local, and I have taken hundreds of images there, many posted on here. We went today. Despite a roll of FP4 winking at me, I resisted. No camera. I kept seeing BnW images .... 🙁 Here are 2 phone snaps ...

#believeinfilm #filmphotography #darkroom As a kid I learnt elementary black and white printing at home. We had a darkroom in the attic. When my mother died 3 years ago, my brother and I cleared her house, finding lots of old stuff. It included this .... very 1960's. A Johnson photo drying book.

Hello @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social I sent this reply to @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social . She had expressed her wish that NHS GP was at 1980's levels. You are my MP .... and also the LD lead on health still? The PPG I attended was in Shawbury. I am sure they would love better funding.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography Another from a 28mm prime. Pentax ME Super. Kodak T Max 100 expired 2004.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography On here, in the last month or so, I wondered about purchasing a F mount 28mm prime - in fact, I "nearly" bought one. In the meantime I dug out a 28mm prime I had not used for years! Pentax ME Super. Expired 2004 T Max 100. #darkroom print. Montgomery Church.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography #folderweek The weather stayed dull yesterday, so I paused for 24 hrs. Today, no clouds and there were about 4 stops more light .... plus, this venue is more open. I have images! Kentmere 100. FX39 Ii.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography #foldersweek Camera, film, meter. Let's go. Though it is rather dull presently ..... mmmm.

A 365 Gamble

#believeinfilm #filmphotography I like primes. 90% of my photography is with Nikon cameras. For #fp4party I also used a 28-70mm zoom for convenience, the wide end a lot, but I don't have a 28 prime in F mount. So, I "tested" my old Pentax and 28mm prime. Fun. So, do I buy a 28mm in F mount? 🤔

#believeinfilm #filmphotography #darkroom More trees ...... 🥴 Nikon F90X. 35mm. Yellow Filter. DD-X. #fp4party

Just catching up with this on Saturday morning. Super well done and congrats to all 5 winners .... but well done everyone, especially @paulasmith.co.uk #fp4party

#believeinfilm #filmphotography #darkroom I had time to wander, waiting for an appointment, and happened upon this in a small nature reserve. The hospital staff looked puzzled, that I had a camera! Nikon F90X. 35mm. DD-X. #fp4party
