Fenland is my home and muse.
Yep well the old 12x16 is definitely fogged see the difference compared to fresh DP2 test print

Have to get some fresh 12x16 I guess at some point @olu-gh.bsky.social

Fogged I think - pave a box ox 20x16 too

Time to see if this sealed 16x20 bow of paper is any good .
I only have one print drum big enough.

Recently I shared the link to the YouTube video showing how Ctein made dye transfer prints.
The second edition of his book is available free on line as a PDF download and is recommended if you want to dive deeper into film and darkroom technique

The Fenland of Cambridgeshire is my photographic “backyard” -a place of wide open landscape broken by drains, droves and lines. The rich black peat , slowly eroding contrasts against constantly changing light.

Using pinhole, polaroid and Holga cameras I try to capture the still beauty of the place.

Resisted - but have just succumbed to a box of 5x7 paper and some RA4 chemicals from Firstcall with a BF10 discount code pretty much covered shipping and the paper and Chems were good prices to begin with

I’m loving the “Frames” subscription - monthly digital mag, quarterly print mag and tomorrow an interactive zoom meeting with a guest photographer - had Alec Soth in the past .
There’s a great members social site too.

Next stage of the colour #SlowPhotography process is to ponder the frames for some more #HalfFrameStories - good job I’ve got a good stash of paper.

Relying on muscle memory to use this with a 10 stop ND - so many steps that could lead to a non exposure

A Holga, some @ilfordphoto.com #HP5 with a red filter and some RC paper - the London Eye is of course well photographed but hey - when in London……

If you’re thinking of diving in to the colour darkroom then along with a few excellent YouTube channels this book is a must reference.

Contact printing from some summer Lomo 100 negatives

#believeinfilm #filmphotography - seems to be a Kodak base from what I can tell.

My second Combi Plan tank arrived today , been after another for ages as it is the most versatile LF film and plate tank I own.

Think it’s been on there since Rome in September - forgetting what’s on a roll of film is one of the delights of #filmphotography

I saw William Eggleston’s Dye Transfer prints in London a few years back so this is a must for me …

The words I needed to hear happened on Monday - shame it’s 14 months to wait though….

If retirement looks like this then it’s going to be a good journey.

Once I get the new hip I’ll be able to easily make more negatives - in the meantime it’s all about the print and 40 years of negatives to play with….

During lockdown we were able to get away at times in our caravan, I had my RB67 with me when we sat in the Malvern hills watching these guys.
Developed this film ages ago but love the contact prints.

Nearly 10 years ago we set off on 24 days of road tripping in the USA including some time on old route 67 - amongst others I had my SX70 with me .
