Rose and Bottle Horseman 985, Super Topcor 150mm f/5.6 Fomapan 100, 4×5 f/5.6, 1/30 sec Developed in D-23r #photography #filmphotography #believeinfilm #largeformatphotography #stilllifephotography

A lightly warm-toned black-and-white still life photograph of a single pale rose in a dark glass bottle. The bottle sits low in the frame, almost merging with the dark ground around it, with only a small shoulder highlight and a faint edge of glass separating it from the surrounding shadow. From it rises a thin, slightly curved stem, leading up to a large white rose placed in the upper half of the image. The flower is softly luminous, with layered petals opening outward and delicate folds still visible in the bright areas. The petals on the left edge catch the most light, while the centre of the rose holds deeper grey tones. The background is plain and muted, a warm grey-brown field with subtle film grain, unevenness and fall-off toward the edges. The composition is quiet and sparse: the pale mass of the rose is balanced by the dark weight of the bottle below, with the fine stem forming a fragile connection between them.

White Rose, Dark Ground. Horseman 985, Super Topcor 150mm f/5.6. Fomapan 100, f/32, 7 seconds, developed in D23r. #photography #believeinfilm #filmphotography #largeformatphotography #4x5 #blackandwhitephotography #stilllifephotography #analogphotography

Black and white still life photograph of a single pale rose in a dark glass bottle, set against a deep black background. The flower sits high in the frame, slightly right of centre, with its petals opened outward and lit so that the upper edges glow softly against the darkness. The left side of the bloom shows delicate layered petal shapes, while the underside falls into darker grey tones. A thin, pale, slightly curved stem drops from the rose into the bottle, forming a quiet vertical line through the centre of the image. The bottle is mostly lost in shadow, but small highlights reveal the rim, neck and shoulders. A faint horizontal surface is visible near the bottom of the frame, just enough to place the bottle within the space. The surrounding darkness is not completely even; it carries slight variations in tone, particularly on the left, while the image area is set within a wide white border. The overall effect is quiet and formal, with the rose held above the darkness by the thin line of the stem.

Obscenely expensive for what it actually is, awful courier service again from UPS, fantastic customer service from Firstcall, and finally I have a Stearman Press 4x5 dev tank and I can do 6 sheets at a time. No more tray development! #photography #believeinfilm

I though it only polite to protect his idiocy/modesty. The Latin, Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses, means roughly, “Had you kept silent, you would have remained a philosopher.” #photogrpahy #believeinfilm #art

Silent Valley. Monochrome woodland study, Fujifilm HS20 EXR. #photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Monochrome #Woodland #Trees #LandscapePhotography #Scape #SilentValley

Black and white photograph of an old tree in dense woodland, presented with a white border. The tree occupies most of the frame, with a dark, leaning trunk rising from a mass of exposed roots. The roots twist across the lower half of the image, rough with bark, moss and leaf litter, forming the main structure of the photograph. The left side of the trunk and surrounding undergrowth are very dark, almost black, while the central bark and roots catch enough light to show their texture and shape. Above, heavy branches spread across the top of the frame, adding a dark canopy. Behind the tree is a pale opening of sky and a tangle of thin bare branches, held back so that the tree remains dominant. The right side recedes into darker woodland, with fine twigs and saplings partly visible. The image has strong contrast and a quiet, enclosed feeling, with the tree appearing old, rooted and heavy in the surrounding shade.

Part of a year-long study of Silent Valley, Cwm, Blaenau Gwent, made while I lived just outside the valley. An old beech beside Nant Merddog. Fujifilm HS20 EXR. #photography #landscapephotography #TreePhotography #WoodlandPhotography #AncientTrees #SilentValley #Cwm #BlaenauGwent #SouthWales #Scape

A toned black-and-white photograph of an old beech tree in Silent Valley, Cwm, Blaenau Gwent. The tree stands beside a shallow rocky stream, its large trunk rising from an exposed mass of twisting roots and moss-covered earth. The roots spread down the bank like heavy folds, gripping the slope above the water and forming the central subject of the image. The lower trunk is pale and textured, with dark seams and scars running vertically through the bark.

The stream occupies the lower foreground, flowing over small stones and dark rocks. Its brighter reflections cut through the shadowed lower edge of the frame, giving scale to the tree and placing it within a damp woodland setting. Behind the beech, a bright opening in the sky silhouettes the branching structure and separates the main trunk from the surrounding trees.

The image has a strong vignetted treatment, with the upper corners and lower edges held in deep shadow. The centre of the photograph is lighter, drawing attention to the root mound and the point where the trunk seems to flow into the exposed roots. The toning gives the monochrome image a muted green-gold cast, like an aged print.

The overall effect is dark, quiet and sculptural. Rather than showing the whole woodland, the photograph concentrates on the form of one particular tree: its weight, age, texture and relationship to the stream that has exposed its roots.

Ruins of St James Church, Bawsey, Norfolk. Horseman 985. 4×5. Fomapan 100. D23r. #photography #filmphotography #largeformat #believeinfilm #Scape

Black and white photograph of the ruins of St James Church, Bawsey, Norfolk. The broken flint and stone walls stand in rough grass beneath a pale overcast sky. Two taller wall sections rise above the central ruin, with an arched opening low in the masonry and a lower wall extending in from the left.

Ruins of St James Church, Bawsey, Norfolk. Horseman 985 4×5, Super Topcor 150mm f/5.6, Fomapan 100. #photography #BelieveInFilm #LargeFormatPhotography #Fomapan100 #Scape #Norfolk

Black-and-white photograph of the ruins of St James Church at Bawsey, Norfolk, seen through a gap between two closer broken stone walls in the foreground. The central ruin stands tall and narrow, with two main surviving tower-like sections rising against a cloudy sky. The left-hand section is broader and taller, built of rough flint and stone with a squarer top, while the right-hand section is slightly lower and more open, with broken edges and irregular vertical sides. Between them are smaller remnants of walling and a short stone connection.

At the bottom centre of the frame is a large stone arch, partly intact, with its curved form clearly visible beneath the ruin. Through the arch, and also beneath the lower masonry, a flat strip of distant land can be seen on the horizon, giving a sense of the open Norfolk landscape beyond the enclosed ruins. The foreground walls on the left and right are softer in focus and darker in tone, acting like a frame around the sharper central structure. Their rough stones and uneven tops suggest the remains of surrounding walls rather than complete buildings.

The sky is filled with pale and mid-grey clouds, brighter on the right side and darker in places behind the ruin, helping the broken outline of the masonry stand out. The overall composition is vertical and symmetrical enough to feel balanced, but irregular enough to keep the ruin’s damaged structure evident. The image has a quiet, weighty atmosphere, with strong textures in the stonework and a clear sense of age, weathering, and collapse.

The Ruins of St James Church, Bawsey Horseman 985 Super Topcor 150mm f/5.6 Fomapan 100, developed in D23r #photography #believeinfilm #largeformat #Fomapan100 #Scape

Black and white landscape photograph of the ruins of St James Church at Bawsey, set low in a rough open field. The remaining stonework forms a long, dark, weathered block across the middle of the frame, with broken wall sections, irregular masonry, and deep black openings where parts of the church have fallen away. The ruin sits slightly raised above the surrounding grass, giving it a solid, blunt presence rather than a decorative or picturesque one. The foreground is filled with uneven grasses and scrub, some pale and wiry, some darker and matted, creating a rough texture that leads up to the base of the building. The lower edge is held darker, keeping attention from slipping out of the frame. Beyond the ruin, the land falls away into a low, flat distance with a faint horizon line and dark shapes of trees or hedges. Most of the upper half of the image is occupied by an overcast sky, with soft grey cloud spreading from left to right. The cloud is heavier and darker in places, but not dramatic; it gives the scene a quiet weight. The composition is static and frontal, with the ruin placed almost centrally and no path, figure, or obvious point of movement through the scene. The overall feeling is still, exposed, and unsentimental: a ruined church standing in open land, held between rough grass below and a broad Norfolk sky above.

Another View of St James Church Ruins, Norfolk Horseman 985, Super Topcor 150mm f/5.6, Fomapan 100 4x5 in D23r. #photography #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography #LargeFormat #Scape #Norfolk #BlackAndWhitePhotography

Black and white photograph of St James Church Ruins in Norfolk, seen from a little distance across rough grass and wild growth. The ruined church stands just left of centre, partly surrounded by tall vegetation. The central section rises highest, with broken stone edges, dark window openings and lower fragments of wall spreading out on either side. The masonry is clear, but not separated from its setting; it feels embedded in the field rather than presented as a clean architectural subject.

The foreground is busy with long grass, weeds and pale umbellifer flower heads. A rough track or worn path runs in from the lower left, then disappears into the thicker growth. On the right, taller stems reach up into the sky and partly frame the open space around the ruin.

Above the church is a wide cloudy sky, lighter toward the upper right and more textured over the centre and left of the frame. The clouds give the scene a slightly exposed, changeable feel without making it dramatic. The overall image is restrained and quiet: broken church walls, rough ground, wild plants and sky all held together as one rural landscape.
