#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…

I’m almost certain that old Oak trees are not going to become my subject of choice.

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…

My first 120 film returns
I don’t know what to say. In comparison to my Canon 35mm film camera, the quality is, well, gobsmacking! And the files are smaller by a few megabytes too – more on that in another post. But for now, I am drinking in that bokeh and adoring the lack of noise and artifacts in this…

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…
