#believeinfilm #filmphotography Hodnet Gardens ..... I do not know what this is, but guess it is an old, out of use water tap for perhaps filling water troughs? Nikon F90X. 28-70mm lens. @ilfordphoto.com FP4+. DD-X.

A BnW image of a metal contraption next to a tree on the edge of woodland.
It seems to be mounted on a standing water pipe, has a wheel (for controlling flow?) and a spout.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography B&W at it's simplest. Noting where the light falls. Nikon F90X. 28-70mm lens. @ilfordphoto.com FP4+. DD-X.

A simple BnW image. Light ferns on the bank of a pond sit in the centre of the image, illuminated more due to a gap in the out of frame tree canopy. A dary pond is at the base and other shrubbery surrounds the edge.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography At Hodnet Gardens. Despite suffering historical trauma (storm? lightning?) this oak is still going strong ..... and provided lovely textures for BnW film. Nikon F90X. 28-70mm lens. FP4+. DD-X. A #darkroom print.

An oak tree set in a field / parkland situation. The tree has suffered .... with a large, long section of the trunk having split off. There are grass and trees in the background on the right.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography I have photographed this scene before, and posted it here, but this time the Oaks are in full leaf. Nikon F90X. 28-70mm lens. @ilfordphoto.com FP4+. DD-X. #fridayfavourites

A single carriageway track / Road runs from base of frame to a right middle vanishing point. There are wooden fences both left and right of the track. On the left are a row of 4 oak trees, their leaf canopies causing shadows ..... with a high June sun illuminating from the left.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography 5 frames to finish, so I went to nearby castle ruins. A couple plus child arrived for a photo session with a pro photog (he had a large grey lens and a sidekick). I sat bemused as he directed, seemingly paying no attention to how light fell upon them. F90X. FP4.

A BnW print ..... two men facing away from my camera ..... the left one pointing his camera and attempting to make portraits of a 3 person family group as they squeeze their heads and shoulders into a very small window in a castle wall.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography Another from old, found, a 90+ year old negative. My mother, left, with her brother at the seaside. I do not know who the girl on the right is. Author .... probably their father, my grandfather. Camera .... probably a box brownie. A #darkroom print.

3 children, in a 1930's photo, stood against a stone wall, with "day at the seaside" accoutrements.

Phil Walker@philwalker· Jun 15

This is the envelope the negs were in. Plus an individual contact ..... tempting people to get an enlargement ..... and another sales card.

Phil Walker@philwalker· Jun 15

#believeinfilm #filmphotography Another #darkroom print made from 90+ year old negs. My grandmother atop a donkey at Weston Super Mare (we think). Photog - prob my grandfather. Camera - prob a box brownie model.

A picture of a woman wearing a hat and and dress sitting on a light coloured donkey on a sandy beach. In the background are some large, stone buildings.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography I make #darkroom contact prints - std at grade 2 - and use them for assessing and choosing those to print. I took this for the #fp4party in March, but dismissed it; bland, subtly overexposed? I re-assessed it and decided to try it at grade 3. Bronica RF 645. 10x8.

A phone snap of a 645 contact print showing a stand of trees on the bank of a small lake. Semi backlit.

A 10x8 BnW print of a stand / row of leafless trees (in March) along the far bank of a small lake at the base of the image. There are some reflections in the water. Behind, there is an open field and a small copse in the distance.

Phil Walker@philwalker· Jun 13

#filmphotography #believeinfilm I made this #darkroom print from a 90+ year old negative. Photographer unknown but probably my grandfather. Camera unknown - probably box brownie. My mother and uncle as children.

A BnW photo, taken 1930's, of two children running toward the camera on an empty sandy beach.

Phil Walker@philwalker· Jun 12

#believeinfilm #filmphotography Another print I have made from a 90+ year old negative. It was a tricky job ..... the negs were not pristine and 2 1/4" x 3 1/4". I used a 6 x 6 neg holder (my largest) and cropped. This is my great grandfather - a pork butcher. I never met him.

A BnW image of an older man, stood in front of a stone wall. He looks directly into the camera lens.

Phil Walker@philwalker· Jun 11

#believeinfilm #filmphotography I did print ..... but none of my work. Clearing my late mothers house 3 years ago, we came upon some photo albums .... and also some negs. I suspect my grandfather was the photographer ... likely a box brownie. My mother and her brother at the beach .... about 1933?

A BnW darkroom print. Two children, sat on donkeys at the beach. 1930' UK.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography Hosta. Bronica RF 645. 65mm. Kentmere 100. FX39 II. A #darkroom print.

Plants in a border. There are dark, stronger, sculpted leaves in the foreground, and lighter grasses and plants behind.

We are digging out some cupboards in our utility space. Amongst the other detritus I found this. I cannot see a date on it, but I am guessing it is at least 20 years old. There is no sign of the lab still existing on a web search. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A pic of a plastic envelope-used for sending exposed film for processing.
