Lucky 200 in a Yashica 24 that might be familiar to @donkeyislandpress.co.uk I like the colours, but it turns out the rolls I bought were from an early batch that had defects in it

I only managed to shoot one roll of film for #fp4party, but I think it got me some decent pictures 📷 Bronica ETRSi + 75mm f2.8 + Orange Filter

Well, this is ageing well....

An old tweet from 2023 saying

Prediction: in a few years, the British media will be looking at the collapse of support for the Labour party in the kind of ethnically diverse constituencies it usually wins by massive margins. And they will pretend to not understand why

I spent most of the week home with the flu, but this showed up in time to be good compant

We buried my father on Wednesday. It still feels weird to type those words..... I loved him, I'm absolutely devastated that he is gone

This is my daily driver, the Chinon CE-5. Small, light, Pentax mount, 1/2000 maximum shutter speed, manual and aperture priority, accurate meter, surprisingly good native glass. And they sell for about £50

I managed to sneak into London yesterday(doing some event photography for a friend) and also made it to the Jennie Baptiste show in Somerset house. Music photography, portraiture and documentary photography, but also both colour and B&W darkroom work. Highly recommend

I have about a dozen rolls of vision3 film from Carnival weekend to work my way through, so yesterday was contact sheets and one work print

A photo of 4 contact sheets and a colour print of a portrait hanging from lines hung across my bathroom. There is also an image of me in the mirror next to my Intrepid enlarger on a copy stand

Darkroom bathroom time. Now we are doing prints from the three rolls of B&W film I took to Carnival

The nights are getting shorter, so back onto the bathroom darkroom. First up, some postcard prints for @craftymoni.bsky.social's postcard exchanges

A photo of a kitchen trolley on wheels. On the top of the trolley is a copy stand that has an Intrepid Compact Enlarger mounted on it. In the shelves below are darkroom trays, drums and easels, as well as tongs and a darkroom safelight

Several postcard sized black and white darkroom prints. They are hanging from colored plastic pegs on lines strung up across two walls

Since we are coming up on long evenings, we are entering the darkroom portion of the year. Finally standardised on one set of enlarging lenses for everything, covering the entire range of negatives from half frame to 6x9

Four Hoya Super EL enlarging lenses. 40mm f3.5 lens, 50mm f2.8, a 75mm f4.5 and 105mm f5.6

I think you'll appreciate this. A random street portrait that turned out to be Paralympian Dimitri Coutya and his(partner? Girlfriend?) In east London at the beginning of the year

Day 2. I now have to develop and scan all of these. Send help!

5 rolls of 35mm film and 3 rolls of 120 film. The 120 film rolls are all Kodak Vision3 250D, while the 35mm canisters are 1 roll each of Fujicolor 100, Kodak Double-X, Fuji Eterna 250D and 3 rolls of Vision3 250D

I have shot three rolls so far, I like it

Because I can't help but be curious, 2 rolls each of Noir 100 and 200 film for the medium format cameras. Noir is a house label of British film respooler "ThisishowIRoll" and is very, very likely Svema film

4 rolls of Black & White 120 medium format film in black cardboard tubes. Two are labelled "Noir 100" and the other two are labelled "Noir 200"

I have just been to see this, and it is a solidly impressive body of work, worth a visit. More impressively, the majority of the B&W prints are labelled "hand printed by the artist"

I got to see this today at the Autograph in London, and strong recommend. See it while it is still up

I have a custom carrier he made me for the Bronica panoramic back. It is great

The test rolls have arrived! Looking forward to seeing how well they do. I'm generally a fan of the Kentmere films, so I expect I'll be happy with what I get from them

2 rolls of Kentmere 200 film in 35mm format, and 2 rolls in 120

Happy Birthday to @warboyssnapper.bsky.social! I hope you have a great holiday. Also, I don't know how this photo was 2 years ago. We are very overdue!

More colour darkroom shenanigans. This time, learning how to colour balance Harman Phoenix. It is unreasonably contrasty, but otherwise the colours are fine. Also, people keep saying the Intrepid Enlarger can't do colour but......

Tonight was some quick cooking, and then practicing making colour darkroom prints
