Monochrome in the Gower
I’ve just paid for some film to be developed at Exposure Film Lab – three colour Kodak Gold 120 film rolls with my Pentax 645N and one Kentmere PAN 400 taken with my Canon EOS 300. I am excited to get these back and I am trying to piece together in my mind which moments…

The timeless enjoyment from film
This blog started out as a journey with my Pentax 645N but I have needed to add photos taken with my Canon EOS 300 to vary the posts and add to the numbers. Anyone reading this will be fully aware of the added expense in film photography and I have not yet found a system…

Always worth a visit
I always enjoy visiting a church. Regardless of your religious and faith leanings, I think they are a centering influence on a community and, as a tourist, they give a good timeline of the history of the communities they serve. Our Saviour’s Church in Haugesund is a splendid red brick building, which to me, has…

New lens for my first camera
I started this blog to share my journey with my Pentax 645N medium format film camera. But the journey to the Pentax was through nearly twenty or so years with various digital SLR Canons (350D, 50D and the 7D) preceded by my first camera, a Canon EOS 300… I’ve been using it on and off…

Deeper and deeper…
I’ve just received 8 rolls back from Exposure Film Lab. Excitement is one word for it. This was the largest collection I have sent. I shot nearly 6 rolls on our recent cruise to the deep and stunning fjords of Norway through my two film cameras – my Pentax 645N and my Canon EOS 300,…

Some photos take a while…
I had another look through my recent photos taken with my Pentax 645N and decided that I like this photo more than my first impression. It has grown on me. I can imagine it enlarged and printed out as a poster with a frame. I have been tidying up our garden room today and decided…

Family time
As I find my way with film photography, particularly of the medium format variety, it seems it will suit me to use my Pentax 645 to capture those special moments. For me, it will be recording family time in the special way that a digital camera cannot compete. I am delighted with these lockdown and…

#SheldonianTheatre viewed from the #BridgeofSighs
I grabbed this on a recent visit to Hertford College, Oxford University. In tricky lighting conditions, noise is virtually non-existent, thanks to the large exposure area of the 645 Medium Format Camera and the wonderful Kodak Porta 400 film. I like this shot – it has given me an idea for a study of my…

Sunday Sun on Kodak #Portra400
While the weather in the UK continues to give us little to be cheerful about, I thought I would share an image to brighten your day and perhaps get you thinking about your summer holiday plans. I took this with my Canon EOS 300 last summer. It was this camera that started me on my…

Old Oak Tree
I’m almost certain that old Oak trees are not going to become my subject of choice. They don’t move much and they don’t smile back but I converted this to monochrome in Lightroom and thought it came out okay as an abstract, structural piece.
