Hello!! So many new followers, thank you for connecting. You can read more about me and my #filmphotography love here... www.ilfordphoto.com/in-focus-pau...

Can anyone recommend any good books on walking? Thanks in advance.

Do I have enough film? I’m travelling lite only 1 camera. Haven’t done that in a while. #believenfilm

We are going on a little trip. I think this cloud is stalking me.

Kodak TMax 400 and Kentmere 200 hang to dry. Let’s see how they scan later. First time using Kentmere 200. #filmphotography #mediumformat

They’ll be pictures…🥳 Yesterdays photowalk with @donkeyislandpress.co.uk round the Barbican. Provia 100f expired In 2003. Hurry up and dry so I can scan. Might finally have to put heat on… #pinhole #filmphotography

Me and the 120 just had a fight in the dark bag... I won, but I'm sure it will have the last laugh when it presents me with a kink at the best part of the picture... We'll see. #filmphotography #homedeveloping

and this one, which might well be my favourite from the roll, is by @paulasmith.co.uk. slight light leak at far left is my bad, but really makes the format work viscawide-16/double-x/hydrofen #filmphotography #b&w

#filmphotography #deadformat yes this is very last minute and i am slightly treading on folder week's toes, but i was too excited about this idea to let it die

Alright so Silverfast crashes every time I try to switch to ‘positive’ for my scans. 🤬 I just wanna see my little half-frame jewels. Oh that Blue. 💙 Anyone have this problem with a Mac, Plustek, Silverfast 8#filmphotography Silvergast 8?

Drum roll… First two rolls of E6. #filmphotography

Alright wish me safe travels. I’m going in. E6 here I come… #filmphotography #e6

#filmphotography friends. I pulled this from a camera I bought years ago. It’s been kicking around do I attempt to develop it? If so in what? E6 or a Rodinal solution… What would you do? I figure it’s well dead but I’m curious…

Day 19 of #filmtober What’s your favourite? @ilfordphoto.com #film

Thanks @donkeyislandpress.co.uk for sharing the file so I could make a little print of myself in 'action' - and a great reminder of the actual door colour, seeing as I had b&w loaded. 😵‍💫 #halfframe #wwhfpd #filmphotography #printyourself

What are your favourite hacks? 👇 I need to think about this one. I suppose bulk rolling 35mm film to help bring cost down. #filmtober

A few cyanotype prints 💙
