5 Frames… Of the Swedish High Coast and Åland with expired Fujifilm Velvia 100 (EI 100 / 35mm / Nikon F4)
I had a roll of Fujifilm Velvia 100 with an expiry date of 2012 sitting in my fridge for quite a while and thinking that the film (and me for that matter) was not getting any younger, I decided to load it in my trusty Nikon F4 for some positive film fun times! This was not the first time I have shot using Velvia […]

My first roll… Of 120 film – Kodak T-MAX 400 and Rolleicord III K3B
I came back to film in early 2019. The camera I bought was a Rolleicord III. It was the same model as the first serious camera I owned back in the late 1990s. I got that first Rolleicord from my grandmother, who had bought it when she was studying in Switzerland in the 1950s, but who by […]

5 Frames… With Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H (EI 400 / 120 format / Hasselblad 500C/M)
I bought this Hasselblad 500C/M a little over 2 years ago now. It was an eBay buy and back then I was a digital shooter. I always lusted after…

Pocket wonder: The Olympus XA with ILFORD PAN 100
My first of roll of film for the new year 2020: a fresh roll of ILFORD PAN 100 all used up in one day with a camera I’ve never used before. This was January’s commitment to the new year’s resolution I’ve signed up for. That resolution is to shoot one roll of film per month. […]

5 Frames… At sunset in Cologne with Kodak VISION3 5213 (35mm / EI / EI 125 / Minolta Hi-Matic 7s)
Earlier in 2019, I ordered the mixed-film-pack from Silbersalz, containing one roll of each of the four Kodak VISION3 motion picture film varieties.

The Hypersensitive Podcast Episode 12: The JCH premium rate chat line
Continuing our diversification towards becoming a podcast run by photographers rather than a photography podcast, Hamish and I caught up with Bellamy Hunt of JCH about his recent SIBO diagnosis (it’s not a made-up acronym) and how it’s affecting his life. Hamish finds five minutes to talk about photography before getting distracted and I talk […]

Trying out solarisation in the darkroom
Being in lockdown has given me more time to consider expanding my repertoire of darkroom techniques. One of these is something a little different to what I would normally try: Solarisation. It’s a technique I’m sure many are familiar with, it is new to me and to be honest, some of the images I’ve seen […]

5 Frames… At Otome no Taki with Lomography Potsdam Kino 100 (35mm / EI 100 / Nikon FG)
This was my third attempt at finding this waterfall not so far from where I live. I knew I wanted to bring my Nikon FG with the 50mm f/1.8 Series E lens, but wasn’t settled on the film yet. I decided on the roll of Lomography Potsdam Kino 100 that I got over the holiday […]

So you want to shoot Fujifilm Instax? These are your options today
Fujifilm Instax covers a huge range of instant film and cameras created and sold since 1998. Over the past 2+ decades, while the number of other instant film options have dwindled to just enough to count with your fingers and toes, Instax has gone from strength to strength. In this article, I cover the history […]

5 Frames… Mostly in Italy on Lomography F²/400 (EI 200 / 120 Format / Hasselblad 500C/M)
Since subscribing to Lomography’s newsletter, I came across Lomography F2/400 in 120. Research revealed this film to be expired Ferrania’s Solaris FG 400. The five images presented here are from an October 2018 trip to Italy (Milan/Bologna), where the colors can be somewhat muted, due to the overcast light and shorter days. The film itself […]

Canon Demi EE17: The everyday diptych machine
There are many cameras out there that take standard 35mm film and expose alternative formats for creative effect. The Noblex’s literally sweeping panoramas, the Nishika N8000’s 3D gifs, and the Lomography Pop’s 9 frame pop-art “explosions” all have their appeal, but they all share the same problem: their form factor and results are too niche […]

5 Frames… With ILFORD PAN F PLUS (EI 50 / 120 format / Vermeer 6×6 Pinhole)
Earlier in 2019, I built a shoebox pinhole camera, and had a blast using it. But I wanted something a bit more reliable in its outcomes, so I went online and ordered a handmade pinhole from Poland. The Vermeer 6×6 Pinhole Camera came with a 34mm focal length, and a 2mm pinhole that results in […]

Learning to develop my first roll of film
Due to the current pandemic situation and resultant lock-down rules, I’ve decided now would be a good time to learn how to develop film at home. Since I got back into shooting film a few years ago, the thought of developing my own photos at home has crossed my mind on more than one occasion. […]

5 Frames… With Film Washi F (EI 100 / 35mm format / Rollei 35TE)
First of all, I’m not a great master photographer, it’s just a lot of fun and has been for over 30 years, with a break of several years and a digital phase in between. My motto is WISIWYG, What I See Is What You Get. On a beautiful sunny morning in late November 2019, I […]

My first roll… Of 35mm film: Kodak ProFoto 400 BW and Pentax Spotmatic F
Well, I just read this “My First Roll…” post by EM and immediately started scratching my head. How did I start in analog photography and photography on the whole? It was not so long ago (relatively, Einstein would say) but I’d absolutely forgotten exactly how I had begun and it took some time to repair […]

It’s high time we pulled back and learned a bit more, don’t you think? Over to you, Tony. Hi Tony, what’s this picture, then? TW: […]

5 Frames… Of Cinestill 800T at night (EI 1250 / 35mm format / Contax 159 MM)
My father was a hobby photographer and had a beautiful collection of Contax equipment. As I progressed in my work, he started generously handing down his collection to me for my desired needs. The first item he passed down to me was this Contax 159 MM, a camera that has a reputation for failure some […]

Shooting the Leica M1: From 1960s British holiday camps to the streets of 21st century England
I am a great fan of the Leica M1, having first used this camera in the late 1960s as a camp photographer at Butlin’s in the UK. I can safely say that for me, it has everything necessary for quick shooting and nothing that you don’t need. So before I get stuck in, let me […]
