I came across film photography by chance, after my exchange year during university a few years ago. I feel very blessed cause I had the opportunity to travel a lot in my free time and to visit many beautiful places in Europe. The only thing was that back then, I knew almost nothing about photography […]

5 Frames… Of the Jurassic Coast on Fomapan 100 Classic (EI 100 / 35mm Format / Pentax Spotmatic SP + Takumar 55mm f/1.8)
On a grey drizzly day, when my mood fitted the weather perfectly, I loaded my first ever roll of Fomapan 100 Classic into my Spotmatic and headed to the beach to cheer myself up. Beer is a small fishing village in South Devon, part of the famous Jurassic Coast, and a popular tourist destination. On […]

5 Frames… Of a quiet Tokyo on Fujifilm C200 with a Nikon FE (35mm Format / EI 200 / Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 D)
I always wanted a cheap, simple camera. That would not make me too sad, if I scratched it, lost it, broke it, a real user camera. An SLR, for simple focussing, a Nikon, since I had some lenses already. So I wanted “one of those MF Nikons”. I went out, visited some stores, and came […]

5 Frames… Of a gradually re-opened Bangkok on an Agfa Record III (120 Format / EI 160 / Kodak Portra 160)
I am not particularly a fan of color film, although I take many color photographs with my DSLR. When I had my first cameras as a kid, it was all black and white, but I did try some color before digital cameras began to appear. I returned to film when I bought a used Hasselblad […]

5 Frames… Of a 1969 Olivetti Valentine on Kodak ColorPlus 200, Overexposed 2/3 stop (35mm Format / EI 125 / Nikon F3 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI) – by Lucas Dul I find myself with a lot of typewriters on hand, usually due to my job as a repair tech. A few weeks ago, one […]

5 Frames… Of fear and self-loathing in Farm Vegas on CineStill 800T (35mm Format / EI 800 / Nikkormat FTN + Nikkor-S 35mm f/2.8)
I shot film back in 2004, so it shouldn’t be difficult to jump back in. At least that’s what I told myself when I found 12 rolls of 30-year expired film last year. I ended up shooting those expired rolls and feeling pretty cocky. I hadn’t had them developed yet but a friend had sent […]

Croatian views and colour tones on a Hasselblad 500C/M and Kodak Portra 160
No matter where I’m heading travel-wise, I always make a point of doing some sort of online recce before I depart. I think It gives you a visual understanding of the geographic layout and nature of the country you’re heading to and Croatia wasn’t a country I’d travelled to before. This online point of reference […]

5 Frames… Of ILFORD PAN F PLUS with a little help from Ordnance Survey (120 Format / EI 50 / Yashica Mat-124G)
When the easing of lockdown rules came into play in the UK I was concerned. I didn’t want the nation to rush things and for cases of Covid-19 to increase again. On the other hand though, I was also thankful that it would mean I was free to venture further afield if I chose to. […]

VeRtEx – photography project, Kurt Gledhill
Vertex: Latin word from which our English word “vertical” stems from. I have never really been a fan of the vertical format when it came to photography. Up until recently, probably 90% of my work has been horizontal. Whenever I put the camera to my eye, I always automatically, without thinking have the camera horizontal. […]

5 Frames… With Expired Kodak Gold 200 (EI 125 / 35mm format / Olympus Pen EE2)
I last used my Olympus Pen EE2 in July 2019. It was working well and I was enjoying myself until the winding wheel refused to stop. It wound the film on and on, leaving me clueless as to when the frame has been advanced properly. I forgot about any remaining frames, wound the film back […]

5 Frames… Of taking Robert Palmer’s advice on Fomapan 200 Creative (35mm Format / EI 160 / Nikon EM + Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E)
This is a weird time to have photography as a hobby. Due to Covid-19 many places are still closed, while others have limit capacity or hours of operation. If that wasn’t bad enough, toilet paper and disinfectants are still hard to come by. I had convinced myself, that if this is really the end of […]
