Mamiya C330, Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8 – 1/250s, f11, – O.O.D. Fuji Provia RDP II 100

An image from Expired Film Day 2022.

A few months ago a pal (Hi Simon!) gave me a quantity of Fuji Provia RDP II 100 and Velvia RVP 50 slide film that had all expired in 1997 or 1998. A bit of research suggested exposing it at box speed and cross my fingers for reasonable results.

The original slides have a colour cast and are a little underexposed but nothing a little tweak in Lightroom couldn’t sort out!

Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole, 8s, f167 – Kodak Ektar rated at ISO 50

Yet another image from the first roll of colour film through my ONDU 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera.

I’m currently awaiting a delivery of Kodak Gold 200 in 120 from Analogue Wonderland and as soon as it arrives I’ll be loading a roll and shooting some pinhole pics!

YashicaMat 124G, Yashinon 80mm f/3.5 – 1/60s, f11, – Kodak T-Max 400
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

Another image from a twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera, but this time it’s a YashicaMat 124G.

It’s a camera I’ve never had much success with in the past… The taking lens has a little fungus inside and I’ve always found it difficult to focus. That said, previous attempts at using it were hand-held and lately I’ve been using a tripod more and more which (for me at least) makes focusing easier.

Mamiya C330, Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8 – 1/500s, f4, – Lomography CN 400 rated at ISO 200

An image from a recent ‘Photography Friday’ jaunt with my regular partner-in-crime, Rachel to Derby Arboretum, Britain’s first public park.

Joseph Strutt commissioned and donated the park for the benefit of citizens of Derby in 1840. The intention was a botanical tree garden for instruction as well as leisure. Sadly it was neglected for many years and even now is a little known and somewhat unappreciated spot in the city…

This spot has featured on this blog at least once before, here, but until this morning I’d forgotten I’d photographed it using the fantastic ONDU 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera!

Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:9, 12 mins at 20°c.

An image from a roll of film that’s been sitting in the ‘to be developed’ pile since August last year!

Stone Stair Carpet by Colin Wilbourn is part of a sculpture walk along the River Wear in Sunderland and replace the worn out originals at the old North Dock.

This was my first roll of CineStill BwXX in 120 format and the first I’ve developed myself… I will definitely be shooting more!
