FP4+ pushed to 500 for the fjords today? Screw it, why not, it’s been a while!

Thanks to all your suggestions, I did indeed take the EOS 300 on my trip! Definitely feels like the right choice.

Currently have it loaded with some Fuji Sensia 100 for a hike around Mount Ulriken here in Bergen 😄 🇳🇴

It turns out it was a bokehlicious Christmas after all! 😁

A photography-loving family member gave me this cute little Praktica BX20 in ridiculously good condition, with a *very* intriguing Sigma 28mm 2.8 *macro*. Right up my alley!

Happy holidays my friends! 💜

I've been thinking a lot about home and where I grew up recently, and how sorely I miss it all despite all my complaining in my youth.

The longer I spend away, the blurrier and more rose-tinted the memories get.

A black and white image of the two towers of Paisley Town Hall, Scotland. The image is actually of the reflection of the town hall in the waters of the White Cart river directly beneath it. Both the grain of the image and the surface of the water distort the image slightly, including the prominent clock face on the tallest tower, so the time it shows is not readable.

Another from the shots of the aurora back in May ✨

The aurora had began to fade by this point, but it was still faintly visible. What I didn't expect was how many stars would shine through and how the clouds would compliment them!

An image of the night sky covered in a whispy layer of clouds. The image is a longer exposure, so the clouds are smudged slightly in the shot showing their fast movement across the sky. Behind the clouds, many stars of various colours and brightness shine, accompanied by a green hue to the sky from the aurora borealis (northern lights).

The magic of Postcards from Afar really showed itself this month!

The lovely Wendy Chapman sent me these *gorgeous* cyanotype and lumen prints - they are just stunning in person 😍

I'm not sure if Wendy's on here, but if she is, thanks so much, this is very kind!

#believeinfilm #printyourwork
Two prints sit on a wooden table. On the left is a cyanotype print of some branches and what might be sycamore tree leaves. On the right is a yellow lumen print with a pink tulip or lily centred, surrounded by smaller light pink flowers of various kinds.

The Shitty Camera Gods must have been smiling upon me this weekend as I was blessed to find this delightful Kodak DC200 Plus - complete with a most hideous font that makes me feel like I’m watching You’ve Been Framed!

I’m sure @shittychallenge.bsky.social will be pleased 🙏

Just wanted to say thanks so much to @analoguelass.bsky.social for sending me this lovely little print of a rather photogenic Herdwick sheep, complete with a nice little typewritten message! 💜

Onto the wall of prints and postcards it goes, thanks Sam! 😁

Looks like it’s time to hang out the window again and perch my camera on the windowsill!

Loaded tbe OM10 with some of that Superia 200 I got, fingers crossed 🤞

An Olympus OM10 film SLR is sat on a high up windowsill, looking up towards the sky. Above the buildings in the background, the northern lights are visible. The northern lights (aurora borealis) as seen from my window by my iPhone, shining a very vivid green and red.

An image of a message for Bluesky typed on a Typewriter. The message reads “Today is my birthday, and I just wanted to say Hello to you all from my new Remington Quiet-Riter (which really isn’t all that quiet). I cannot wait to start using it for my letters and potentially Postcards from Afar and other such print exchanges! Much love and have a wonderful weekend, Rosie”

Over the moon as I finally managed to get ahold of some Superia 200 that apparently has been freezer stored since new!

Some might find my excitement for such a film puzzling, but I've a big place in my heart for it. I shot a LOT of it in my early photography days and miss it sorely.

One from the backlog, when I took my SP1000 out for the first time. My obsession with stairs continues still 😄 One outing was enough to make me fall in love with that Super-Tak!

Snap! (or there abouts) 😄

Fantastic camera, and an even more fantastic lens. Looking forward to your shots!
A Pentax SP1000 is held in the air with a Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4, a setup very similar to OP's. The Tallink ferry Victoria is in the background.

Prepping some letters and prints to send out, including this month’s Postcards from Afar!

Really glad I’ve had the chance to dust the printer off again this month, even if it’s resulted in me uttering some expletives in its direction :)

Do any of you remember that huge aurora back in May? I only had my OM10 to hand, so I leaned out my window, pointed it at the sky, bracketed my shots and hoped for the best. Pretty chuffed with some of the results!
