Developed in Ilford Ilfotec at 1:9, 11 mins at 20°c.

Something a little unusual today (for me anyway…) Monochrome Monday on 110 film!

The Fujica Pocket 350 Zoom is a quirky little camera and will be described in detail in a future post.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr (with a 110 insert from Simon Forster Photographic) and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Apparently the Grade-II listed former Grammar School buildings have been ‘saved’ and are to become a ‘mixed-use development site’ (whatever one of those is…)

We wait with baited breath…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Eight years ago it was the Norfolk coastline…

Happisburgh lighthouse must be one of the most photographed structures in Norfolk and I certainly couldn’t resist pointing my camera at it…

For the pillbox fans out there the above structure is a type FW3/26, dating from 1940/early 1941.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Four years ago it was the seaside town of Sheringham in Norfolk.

I can’t remember where we were staying but this image was definitely taken whilst wandering to or from the pub (probably the Windham Arms… they serve an excellent pint!)

Single frame… River Derwent & East Mill, August 2022

Fujifilm X-E4, Fujinon XF 16mm f2.8 R WR + R72 filter, 17s, f5.6, ISO 160

The recent hot weather has seen me dabbling in infrared photography, both with film and digital.

The roll of Adox HR-50 awaits developing but this image was taken with my Fujifilm X-E4, 16mm lens and a Hoya R72 filter.

Nothing complicated on the settings front, aperture priority automatic and the monochrome+red filter…

Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole, 25s, f167 – Kodak Gold 200 rated at ISO 100

Back in April I had a weekend break in a converted chapel in Leicester and spent the Sunday morning photographing the beautiful stained glass windows on Kodak Gold 200 in my ONDU 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera.

This is one of the final images of the morning, when sunlight was streaming in and projecting an image of the windows onto the floor…
