Also shot another roll of Harman Red. 📷 Pentax MG 🔎 SMC Pentax-A Zoom 1:3.5-4.5 35-70mm 🎞️ Harman Red @ 125 ISO

The Ramshorn Church in Glasgow, a Gothic Revival style church with a large central tower. To the each side of the image is a row of buildings.

The image is in redscale

Long shot of Cochrane Street in Glasgow in redscale, from the middle of the road.

There is a shadow cast on the left hand building and on the road up to the parked cars.

The buildings on the right hand side are illuminated.

Got some more film scans back~ Picked up a zoom lens and decided to try the macro out when at a community garden. Naturally that meant flower photography. 📷 Pentax MG 🔎 SMC Pentax-A Zoom 1:3.5-4.5 35-70mm 🎞️ Kodak Colorplus @ 200 ISO

There is a big pipe organ in Kelvingrove Museum, where they have fairly regular recitals during the visiting hours. It is pretty cool! 📷 Pentax MG 🔎 SMC Pentax-M 1:2 50mm 🎞️ Kodak Ultramax @ 400 ISO

Look this is the best I could do.

Drawing of a person in sunglasses with a t-shirt saying "one feer" as opposed to "one fear", because that's the joke.

Do you ever see a cool tree and go "that's a cool tree" and then take a picture of the cool tree so you have a cool picture of a cool tree? Anyway, here's a cool tree. 📷 Pentax MG 🔎 SMC Pentax-M 1:2 50mm 🎞️ Kodak Ultramax @ 400 ISO

A picture of a cool tree. The trunk has a slight twist that has caused an alternating colour pattern, one part being more brown-green/"old" bark, and the other more reddish-orange and "newer".

You're telling me the bullshit merchants got asked about their bullshit and it turned out that it was, in fact, bullshit?

"Lesley Backhouse, who attended the national council meeting, said that Scotland’s current datacentre plans amounted to “overdevelopment” and were “intrusive and not keeping with the local environment”.

The move emerged as the Guardian on Monday revealed how the developer and the UK government misrepresented the technical feasibility of a massive datacentre hub in Scotland in the face of community fears that their land would be subsumed by the development, and promised jobs and investments would never materialise.

This site, in Lanarkshire, was to be an “AI growth zone”, a key element of the government’s strategy to build national AI infrastructure in rural areas of Britain.

The SNP’s resolution came amid signs of a wider upheaval in the UK’s AI strategy as Andy Burnham prepares to replace Keir Starmer in Downing Street. He is reportedly considering a review of several critical planks of Starmer’s technology policy."

What type of loaves you ask? Why they are

A cool thing you can see in Kelvingrove Museum. 📷 Pentax MG 🔎 SMC Pentax-M 1:2 50mm 🎞️ Kodak Ultramax @ 400 ISO

The Scottish Transport & General Workers Union Glasgow Docks No 1 Branch banner.

It is red with the above text in gold. There is a black thistle in each top corner, two Saltires surrounding the & symbol, and the image of a ship at a dock in the middle.

If you head up past the Kelvingrove Museum you might spot this memorial to the victims of the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre in Palestine. 📷 Pentax MG 🔎 SMC Pentax-M 1:2 50mm 🎞️ Kodak Ultramax @ 400 ISO

Picture of a black monument with gold writing in front of some trees, reading:

Was informed of the Krotos news, and while I'm not surprised in the least that they're doing down this line they can still fuck off all the same :). How very fucking dare you :).

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 24

Like this! Sometimes you meet some buddies too. Or you can use weird film stocks and make them look funky.

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 18

Why yes, I DO have excellent taste. Thanks for noticing. Tried to keep it to games that are around or sub 500 reviews. Can't really go wrong with anything from Colorgrave (Prodigal), Zakichi (Zakesta Z), or Terarin (Crystal Breakers) tbh.

Prodigal, Axyz, Oxytone, Tasomachi, Metro Quester, Zakesta Z, Cosmo Dreamer, Teabat!, Crystal Breaker.

For real though. Big big arch fan.

A black and white photo of an archway, opening up into a green space with an old building and benches in the distance. There is light spilling from the arch onto the ground in the dark foreground.

Photo posting again because man, the arches in the Gilbert Scott building at Glasgow Uni are great for framing things in black and white.

Kodak Colorplus @ 200 ISO These, on the other hand, turned out quite well. Sure look like photaes! Had a slight issue with the film unspooling so got a few accident double exposures, hence why Flygon is being attacked by the Kingdom Grand Prix title screen.

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 9

Harman Phoenix II @ 200 ISO Despite shooting at box speed on a really sunny day, a lot of these came out underexposed :/. Turns out that's a known thing with the film, so might try again at +1/2 stops. Nice look though.

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 9

Harman Azure @ 125 ISO. Gonna get another one of these, as I ended up shooting a lot of one type of thing and want to try it on a few other subjects. Also some weird artifacts that aren't present on my other photos, think it's the film due to the lack of uniformity of them.

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 9

Harman Red @ 125 ISO. Fuckin love this. Have another roll to use and I wanna find some cool stuff to shoot.

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 9

Right, some photos! All shot on a Pentax MG using an SMC Pentax-M 1:2 50mm lens, at box speeds. First, Ilford FP4 Plus @ 125 ISO. Mostly shot in and near the Gilbert Scott building on the University of Glasgow Campus. (That's the old fancy building with the arches)

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 8

Got a run of film developed as @elmowgli.bsky.social and I have decided to pick photography in a wee casual manner up. Will share more of mine later, but good god I love how the Harman Red film turned out.

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 7

Neat.

Jaime Cross@speedyjx· Jun 7

ANYWAY. Gig tonight at Nice n Sleazys. Playing Glasgow for the first time in a while*, which means no 4+ hour round trips for a change. *Because last time the plug for my keyboard just fuckin vanished.
