A "Photographer" who dabbles with silver & light, regularly seen stoating about with a camera.

Avid user of pinhole and panoramic cameras.
I have a drone, I am not very good at it.

Find me on the Lensless & lo-fi podcast.
1/2 Recently I have been stoating about with a 3:2 eos1n and finding a slightly renewed love for the format with the perspective control Nikon lenses on.
I do love my 1n and rarely has it had the 17-40 off.
But a 28mm with 11mm shift is finding a way into my heart.
I have ordered a contax adapter

Could you imagine in 1965 rolling down the new M6 and seeing this the Forton Services for the first time.
Image taken not long after it opened. It is one of many thousands of images I have in my collection ranging from glass plate negs from the 1800's to slides into the 1990's.

Looks a bit like a pretend car lot here.

The Met Tower.
Scheduled to be converted to offices. Funding or botherment dried up.
It currently sits as an edifice of decay with People Make Glasgow signs slowly rotting off the windows.
Perfect showpiece for this years commonwealth games.
It will now be converted to student blocs 😡 #xpan

1/3 Happy New year to you all.
I was doing a wee bit of file housekeeping I came across these:
A few years ago the National Theatre of Scotland asked me to do some portraits of one of their choirs for an upcoming exhibition in a local gallery / museum / community space.

The last bake of the year
from my san fran.
48 hour ferment
I have been using this one more so it’s now at the peak of its oven bouncing. Uncontrollably so 😂
I do try but it still manages to find ways to expand I hadn’t seen..
Prob less sourdough in mix needed.

Glasgow night scene Tri-X at 1600 - hc110
I am still not sure I like or dislike the the effect the swing lens has on lights.
The wider its open the more flaring it creates. Here it is at f5.6-f8 at 2.8 it can be quite overpowering in the image.

Here's a photo of the the Three Towers in Motherwell that came down the other week. This was taken when they were still being used.
One of Kodaks odd films, 2468. A positive microfilm with a rather low speed rating at 0.03 ISO give or take. Develops in normal chems. #filmphotography #film

I had to initially write this one off due to so many rain splodges on the image.
The AI remove function in photoshop has been able to remove all the crap from it, plus a few cranes / large lamp posts in the fore.

1/2 We treated ourselves to an ultra short throw projector for Xmas.
I am going to mark out the wall and paint on a “screen” but for now with a dark blue wall I bought a cheap white screen.
The quality of these projectors, you would swear it was an lcd screen.
The tech has moved with the times.

Is the website emulsive now officially dead & just sitting there for cookie revenue ?
It’s been 2 years since the fake person called “Em” updated anything.
Are they in jail ?
Banned from the internet ?
Dead?
Creating more fake profiles ?
@zdp189.bsky.social you were closer to him. Any news ?

As djt put out his Christmas message
I feel it is only right to make take a poke at it
His message, and my interpretation of it
The radical left scum is defined as anyone who isn’t rascist misogynistic that believes everything he says and generally hates everyone who’s not a billionaire.

I tried to promise myself
No more kit……
This isn’t the one I bought but it is the same lens
28mm Nikkor PC f4
I figured at just over £100 I can afford to buy it & try on my xpan.
With a 63mm image circle it isn’t far off what I need.
But at 15-16mm (Xpan frame) width it’s exactly what I want.

The widelux is many things but it is a booger when shooting upright.
A bendy battersea.
One of my friends asked me the other day if I had tried fish eye lense to get a similar effect.
I said I hadn't sunk that low in photography and hoped I never would #widelux #filmphotography #london

In the bendy world of the Widelux, you never quite know what is going to be in the frame and what is not. You get used to it but it always seems to reach just that bit further....
I like how the periphery objects point into the main

There has been a lot said about the vanity fair images of the Trumps.
These cunts are politicians not models.
The White House is tacky.
I don’t get why people are screaming about the realism in them…
Real people look like this:
Ps many are black & white
