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…

La Trinité-sur-mer
This is one of our favourite places. We occasionally holiday in this part of France (see previous post of the Alignments near Carnac). We always drop in to La Trinité for a coffee and a stroll along the harbour. I never really make enough time to spend time with my Pentax 645N as it’s usually…

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…

French Market, Saumur
I think I like street photography. The Pentax 645N is an unwieldy thing for such photography but these two shots seem to have captured a brief moment in time and the subjects are seemingly unaware of my focus on them. The light is good and the film has given the shots a timeless quality that…

It’s been a while…
You have to make room in your finances for film photography. Sadly, things have been a bit tight recently, for obvious reasons, which is why I haven’t posted for a while. Despite the impending doom of a likely increased mortgage, petrol has dropped and the energy companies keep giving me money back so I bit…

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…

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.
