Looked like I'd abandoned this thread but no, here we go again.

Bit of time travelling went on here but it's still the same camera and roll of film.

A colour photograph taken on 35mm film in a panoramic format giving the image a cinematic quality. In the image there is a long wooden building on the left of the frame with a path in front of it leading to a couple of wooden buildings beyond. There are trees in the right of the frame and sky is full of clouds but the sun is out on the scene, giving harsh shadows and strong contrast.

A panoramic colour 35mm film photograph taken from the middle of the street on Saltmarket in Glasgow looking down St Andrews Street to St Andrews In the Square which has a prominent clock tower and grand pillared front. St Andrews Street had been closed off to traffic for Transmit at Glasgow Green. There is a man selling hats in the middle of the street which is hard to make out in the photo due to the harsh shadows and high contrast of the scene. The sky is blue with white clouds. The image overall has warm summer tones.

A late #caturday post. Can't believe our boys turned one this week! 🤯
Here's some before and afters. The kitten photos are some of the earliest pics I took of them. Taken on my phone just after we picked them up, as they explored their new home. Adult photos taken in July with my D810. #cats #kitten
Two photos of our black cat Bear. In the top image he is a very little kitten and he is sat up looking out of one of our windows for the first time, seeing his new surroundings right after we got him and his brother. In the bottom photo he is much bigger (more or less adult cat size but they are still growing) and he has grown up to be a very handsome lad. He's looking out of another of our windows from the top of a green cat tree. The sun light in the bottom image helps to show the brown colours in his fur. There is a small text caption on the top photo which reads "lil' Bear" and the bottom image has a caption which reads "big Bear". Lower image taken with my Nikon D810 and 85mm Nikkor lens. Top image taken with my Pixel 7 phone. Two photos of our black cat Brodie. In the top image he is a very tiny kitten stood in front of one of our radiators. His head doesn't come very far beyond the bottom of it as he was VERY small at the time. He is looking up to the left out of frame and there is some brown wood skirting board in the background. The caption on the top image reads "lil' Brodie". Below is an image of how he looks now he is more or less adult cat size (we think anyway but he is both still growing) He is sat up in front of a similar dark wood skirting board looking out left of frame again but as a very handsome grown up cat. His white chest fur is proudly on display. The bottom image has a caption which reads "big Brodie" he, like his brother, has grown up to be a very handsome boy. Lower image taken with my Nikon D810 and 85mm Nikkor lens. Top image taken with my Pixel 7 phone.

Still the same roll of film and same walk but a little further into the city now. Nice colours & contrast on Phoenix 1.

A colour photograph taken on 35mm film. The image is a wide panoramic format. It shows a wall of boards covered in street art with paintings of blue butterflies & yellow flowers. In the background tall city buildings appear behind the wall reaching up into a blue sky.the scene has bright sunlight beating down on it on a glorious summer day. The strong sunlight gives the image a high contrast.

A panoramic colour film photograph of a section of the car park outside the TJ Hughes end of the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow. On the left side of the frame there are two transit vans parked and there are cars parked in the surrounding car park. In the background is the glass pyramid like structure of the St Enoch Centre. The sun is out and the combination of lens and film is creating some bright flare like reflections on the transit van windscreens. These appear as bright orange balls with halation. The small slip of sky in the background is blue with white clouds. The scene has warm tones.

Same roll of film, same walk but we've made a bit of a leap forward distance-wise.

A colour panoramic photo, taken on 35mm film, of the front of a pet shop in Glasgow. The pet shop is on a rounded corner where two streets merge giving the shop front a semicircular shape. The shop is painted red with white letters making up the sign which reads "Thomas Hays Pet And Aquarium Corner". The rest of the building above appears to be red sandstone. The photo has a warm red/orange tone.

Satisfying! 15x rolls of 35mm fit perfectly in a small 1120 Peli. Is this the most practical way to carry/store film? No. Looks neat though. 😂

Wasn't looking for an XA but saw this with a £10 price sticker on it today & could not pass it up. Thought at that price it must be an ornament but got it home to some fresh batts & everything seems to work. Need to replace the light seals but otherwise it seems good. 😬

Another #caturday post & it's Bear looking particularly expressive. Don't you dare ask him to get down from the kitchen worktops. Who the hell do you think you are?! 🤨😂

📷 Nikon D810 + Nikkor 85mm AF-D F/1.8

I got this lens with portraits of our cats in mind & I have zero regrets.

#photography
A colour photo of our black cat, Bear sitting up on our kitchen worktops. The sunlight coming in through the windows brings out the brown in his fur. The image has a shallow depth of field and the background/surrounding kitchen work surface is soft and out of focus while Bear's expressive face is sharp. With the way the sunlight is lighting the scene it looks as if Bear has one eyebrow raised.

Finally leaving the Barras on this little walk with the Panorama Wide Pic.

Looking back down Ross Street from Gallowgate, Glasgow 07.2025

#shittycamerachallenge #harmanphoto #phoenixfilm #35mm #believeinfilm #photography
A panoramic colour photograph taken on 35mm film, looking down Ross Street from the middle of the road as I crossed at the Gallowgate end of the street in Glasgow. Ross Street is empty apart from a single dark coloured BMW parked on the right of the frame. The image has a real warm tone and it is a bright sunny day with white clouds in an otherwise blue sky. The pavements are empty apart from a single discarded wooden pallet leaning up against the wall on the left of frame. This image was taken with a plastic point and shoot called the Panorama Wide Pic which was loaded with Harman Phoenix 1 35mm film.

Lovely looking cameras! Picked up a less handsome F55 recently. Not tried it out yet but seems to be functioning & looks super clean. Wasn't looking for one but decided I couldn't say no for less than ten quid with strap, manual & fresh batteries. Guess it's the F55D as it has the data back.

Next up from the roll. Just a short walk down the street from Bill's Tools is this junction in the Barras. Not a market day when the place would have been more lively but meant I got to shoot the red shutters

There are benches to the left of frame and on the opposite corner one of the distinctive buildings that houses some of the extensive market. It is not a market day and the red shutters are closed. The Barras metal arch sign is in the distance further down the road. The signs on the market buildings say "McIver's Markets" in yellow painted on letters on a green backing. The sun is out and there are white clouds in the sky.

Used my Nikon D810 to capture the blast as well but rather than trying to duel wield during the crucial seconds I opted to have my DSLR rolling video. Here's the blast in full from our view point on Kings Bridge before we fled the scene to escape the dust cloud.

Posted up on demolition day with the crowd on Kings Bridge, I managed to get a couple of shots off that captured the first building coming down. I was manually advancing the film in my FE so not quick enough to get the second building before it fell below the tree line.

The charges have just gone off in the first building and the photo has frozen the moment the building on the right begins to crumble and give way. Plumes of dust and smoke run down the outside of the building on the right as the explosives have just gone off. In front of the buildings there is a row of trees and water of the river Clyde in the foreground. A black and white 35mm film photograph of two high rise buildings being demolished in Glasgow.

A match made in hell? A cursed object passed down when a family member was having a clear out. Trying it out with Phoenix. Wide lens & plastic masks that block the top+bottom of the frame wasting a chunk of film to achieve a panoramic look. An Xpan if it came free with cereal.
