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…

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…

#SheldonianTheatre viewed from the #BridgeofSighs

I like this shot – it has given me an idea for a study of my…

Old Oak Tree

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.

Medium format film has so much depth
My friend doesn’t like this shot but I love it. I am normally really self-critical of the photos I take but my Pentax 645 is beginning to change all that. The digital scans are so much more natural and flattering than anything that I have seen digital do. While you are here, check out: www.bridgeneglin.com . All…

It used to be a numbers game…
This new Pentax of mine has made me think about my craft. Now I see light, I pose a shot in my own mind, I set it up, point the camera, look at the scene through the viewfinder, check there is nothing ugly in the background, focus and take the shot. Simples. Two poses. Two…
