Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

Snow kept me indoors last weekend so I attempted some still-life photography using a Mamiya C330f twin-lens reflex camera and a rather interesting accessory called a paramender… I’ll be writing about this setup next week.

An image from a recent trip to Coniston in the Lake District. Church Beck flows out of the hills north west of Coniston and into Coniston Water, this scene is just down stream of the Miners Bridge.

A few days ago a conversation with friends turned to ‘self-care’ and the sort of things we did that helped our mental health… Quite simply the above image sums up the thing I do most often… take a stroll in woodland with a camera and some black & white film.

Works every time.

Another image from my first roll of Lomography Potsdam black & white film… I’m going to have to buy some more, I love the contrast and fine grain!

Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

After yesterday’s post on a film failure I thought I’d post something more positive today… the first image from my first roll of Ilford Ortho Plus.

Ilford say this film is ideally suited to landscape photography and I can’t really argue with that recommendation…

An image from my first roll of Lomography Potsdam black & white film… I always try to buy something whenever I come across a camera shop on my travels and this particular roll came from Bass & Bligh in Harrogate.
