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…

Time to try Black and White film?
This is one of several thousand stones (menhirs) in the alignments near Carnac in France. It was a beautiful evening and the Kodak Gold really adds to the warmth of the shot. I think this might be one for the garden room wall. There’s a lot of structure and contrast in this shot and I…

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…

Patience rewarded
They are here. My first set of scanned negatives from Exposure Film Lab delivered by WeTransfer.com. True to form, film kept my patience in check, again. I think the new year has been a busy time for Exposure and I had to chase my scans up but to be fair they were working close to…

Have a little patience…
I think it was my Granny who told me once that “Patience is a virtue..” and Gary Barlow and Take That were kind enough to remind us to “have a little Patience”, though they were all about waiting for a loved one to get over their last love. Who pesters a potential suitor to get…

Time versus Money
So this tradeoff is a universal concern, right? And it affects the art of film photography in a big way. I had a look through the prints of my first two rolls from my 35mm expeiment the other day and they are just not publishable. My fault really. I had them processed at a well-known…

Film on Medium Format here we come!
Here I go. Wish me luck. A journey into the unknown of (i) medium format film photography and (ii) blogging. The turn of a new decade and my 40th birthday last month got me thinking about my photography. (Perhaps this is a midlife crisis…?) I found my old Canon EOS 300 35mm camera during our…
