Mazzy Star, 'Into Dust'. Was an advert for Virgin Media over a decade ago. Amazing track, and advert, too. youtu.be/e0m4-4xkrIY?...

And a #ShittyChristmas to you all! Oodles of Festive Fun incoming ... #ShittyCameraChallenge

I've got far too many ideas swimming around at the moment, and I definitely don't need any more cameras. What's that Mr Postman? For me?

After some tense judging by the four organisers and a tie breaker round we have winners of the inaugural World Wide Half Frame Photography Day Competition! half-frameday.com/2025/11/14/w...

For anyone who is looking to get into half-frame, this week at the Kamerastore the Pentax 17 is 20% off their regular price. #Pentax17 #HalfFrame kamerastore.com/products/new...

Until the Charmera is back in stock, picked up a little Keychain camera to keep me going. Reduced in Continente from 19,99€ to 11,99€ as well so got two. One to play with and perhaps, one to circuit bend. #Keychain #Charmera

Received an interesting email from VSCO this morning, a free photowalk around Lisbon. I can't make it, but if anyone is interested, here are the details. #Photowalk #Lisboa #Lisbon #Portugal #Fotografia www.eventbrite.com/e/vsco-photo...

Remember remember the 8th of November, the half-frame photos you shot. Remember remember the deadline to enter the half-frame photos you shot. Don't be the guy on the 9th of November, crying because you forgot. FOLKS, TODAY'S THE LAST DAY TO ENTER!!! #wwhfpd25

The @shittychallenge.bsky.social has spoken, for the first time in the best part of a month, and has the cover image of the profile been changed to the four-lens face of a Nimslo? Could the Elder Gods be clearing Their throats for an announcement? All Praise the Elder Gods!

Too late for the Crappy Commie Camera Party, but this arrived a couple of days ago and I've given it a good cleaning. The Fotopribor SKF-1 stereo adaptor. Made in the 1980s for the Helios-44M 58mm lens. Cleaned and (hopefully) adjusted, just waiting for some nice weather. #ShittyCameraChallenge

Not much of a photo, but this lovely was sitting on the leg of the table outside the patio.

October 19 is the start of #FolderWeek. Let’s have a blast with our old folders. I’m going all Kodak this time with my Retina IIIC in 135 and the lovely Duo Six-20 with re-spooled 120 film. I’ve got Double-X in the IIIC. Haven’t decided yet on the film for my Six-20. #BelieveInFilm

Today is Episode 1 of #Photochat hosted by Steve Brokaw. As mentioned earlier I'll be hosting our monthly photochat after a successful run by @alexluyckxphoto.bsky.social. We start at noon EST today. The topic for October's chat is "getting to know each other in the community". Stop by and say HI

Glitches In The Wild During The Rainy Season A little bit of fun with this post. We're having a few days away at a resort in the Maldives. Normally, at this time of year the weather is warm and sunny, but this year the rainy season is clinging on. As a result, the TV channels were really glitchy,…

Lens-Artists Challenge #369: Dreamy This week it's Ann-Christine's turn to host the Challenge, and her theme is 'Dreamy'. On her blog, To See a World in a Grain of Sand … she writes, 'what is ”dreamy” for you, and how do you create a dreamy picture?' Ann-Christine tells us the dictionary…

Been doing mostly film photography for months. Yesterday, I powered up the micro four-thirds mirrorless camera and had a little practise with some freestyle surfers. #Beach, #Surf, #Surfer, #Surfing, #Lohis, #Maldives, #Waves,

Another Zeiss Ikon Nettar (517/16) Film Camera A while ago, I picked up a beautiful Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 medium format folding camera for next to nothing from the Kamerastore website. It was cheap because it had, 'flaws that will affect typical use.' In this case, the 'viewfinder has haze and…

#FolderWeek starts in one week, on October 19. The idea is to shoot a folding camera for the eeek, sharing photos when you can. Remember, if it folds, it’s a folder. Please remember to use the hashtag. Also, please share photos of your folding camera out in the wild. #BelieveInFilm

See What Happened When I redscaled Some Lomochrome Turquoise Film Way back in June I made my first redscale film, and I loved it. Since then, whenever I decant some 35mm film into Rapid canisters, the odds are that at least one of the canisters will be redscaled. Just recently, I picked up some…

Filling The Gaps: The Bencini Comet Rapid Half-frame Camera Back in the early 1960s, in response to Kodak's introduction of its instamatic film system, the European film and camera company Agfa launched the Rapid system. Actually, it's more accurate to say that they reintroduced their 1940s Karat…

It's half-frame Friday, and I never remember it's half-frame Friday. So here's a little bit of pole-arity from the Bencini Comet Rapid with Lomochrome Turquoise. #HalfFrame #HalfFrameFriday

Seen some amazing work with these. I'm not interested (unless Pentax bring out a Rapid version), but I reckon it's well worth a punt.

Picked up the films from the lab. Do we have images? Harman Red ✅️ Turquoise (Bencini) ✅️ Turquoise (Redscaled) ✅️ Turquoise (Horizon 202) ✅️ Well, looks like I've got some scanning to do today. But, which one first?

I've seen several posts about what cameras to take on holiday. Here's my selection for our trip to the Maldives: Olympus Pen E-PM2 plus a 6-stop ND filter; DJI Action 4; Welta Penti II and a canister of Harman Phoenix; Ziess Ikon Nettar 517/16 and a roll of Lomochrome Turquiose.

The plan for tomorrow to (finally) take the films from last week's outing to the lab (Lomochrome Turquoise panoramas from the Horizon 202, Harman Red from the Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16). Also the Turquoise from the Bencini Comet Rapid and a roll of redscaled Turquoise. Tomorrow's camera?

Next Wednesday, the Better Half is getting her hair done. That gives me a morning of wandering around Oliveira do Bairro with a couple of Rapid half-frame cameras. The Golden Wonder is loaded with the well expired film that came with the Bencini Comet Rapid ...

This week for half frame Friday #hff I'm posting a reminder to upload your photos to the #wwhfpd25 photo contest, here: half-frameday.com/submit/ It's great fun looking through what you've shot and submitted so far. 😎 With Holga week just around the corner now's a great time to upload your shots!

A new half-frame camera arrived this afternoon, the Bencini Comet Rapid from the mid 1960s. It's a heavy little beastie, and will need a good clean. Like most of my cameras recently, it uses Agfa's Rapid film system.

If it folds, it's a folder. #FolderWeek, commencing Sunday, 19 October.

Thanks to @christotheb.bsky.social for a lovely image with his smartphone and an IR filter. Reminded me of some smartphone urbex around the old Kartódromo track a couple of years ago. #UrbanPhotography, #FullSpectrum, #Infrared,

The #FrugalFilmProject, August 2025: The One Where We Took The Golden Wonder On Holiday We generally spend the month of August on holiday down in Meco, which means that most of the time I don't have my Frugal Film camera with me. This usually meansI either I miss a month, or find myself rushing…

A4. I posted this as a bit of fun with the Kiev-60, and was surprised that it got any views at all. #Photochat

A5. There can be only one. #Photochat

A2. My first camera was my mother's Kodak Box Brownie, but the camera that travelled with me on my journey about learning different aspects of photography during the 80s was my first 'real' camera: the Canon AE-1 Program. #Photochat

A1. I can't think of a better answer than this ... #Photochat bsky.app/profile/hier...
