Harman Phoenix in the Kodak Ektar H35N

In my last post I talked about my experiences of using the Kodak Ektar H35N “toy” half-frame camera for the first time. Since then, for most of the Spring and Summer of this year, I have had the camera loaded with the brand new experimental colour film from Harman (Ilford), called Phoenix. This weekend I […]

Oops I underdeveloped my holiday photos

I recently returned from a twelve day “Best of Scandinavia” cruise. As well as taking many photographs and videos on my iPhone, I also took my Pentax ME-F with 28mm Pentax-M lens, loaded with a roll of Ilford FP4+. Each time the ship docked I took the camera ashore and took some views of the […]

Using the Lomography Smartphone Scanner with the iPhone 11 Pro

The Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner was something of an impulse purchase after I spotted it in the shop during a recent visit to the Design Museum. It’s a little gadget for mounting a phone camera in a way that allows you to “scan” 35mm negatives. I was aware the product had come out a fair […]

5 Frames Over 5 Months with the Olympus Trip 35

In August, for reasons I can’t even now remember, I decided to load my rarely used Trip 35 with a roll of Kentmere 400 film and take it with me to Manchester Pride. Between then and December, the camera also accompanied me on a family visit to Eastleigh, a long weekend in Madrid, and a […]

Classic Camera Review: Yashica-635

I’ve had my Yashica-635 camera for 20 years, my parents finding it for me at a car boot sale. It’s a twin-lens reflex (TLR), a camera format popularised by Rolleicord and Rolleiflex cameras in the interwar period of the 20th Century. Two lenses sit on top of each other, the bottom one focussed on the […]

Section 14 of the Capital Ring: Hackney Wick to Beckton (and beyond!) with the Zenit TTL, Helios 44M, Jupiter Auto 135mm and Lomography Earl Grey film

In mid August a group of friends and I decided to take ourselves out for a photo-walk along Section 14 of the Capital Ring, the 78 mile circular walking route around London. I decided to take my Zenit TTL along with me as it had been a while since I used it and I wanted […]

My Manchester City Centre in Medium Format

With my short stint in Manchester soon coming to an end, I thought I might go out with my woefully underused Yashica 635 and capture some of the places in the city centre that have meant a bit to me whilst I’ve been here. I also wanted to do some more b/w developing at home […]

Greenwich Photowalk with my Zenit TTL

A bit of a “flashback Friday” one this. I was looking through some older photos and came across this set from March 2014, which I’m quite pleased with and thought would be nice to share. This was a walk with friends through the Greenwich Peninsula, from the O2 down to the Millennium Village and on towards […]

All My Film Cameras

It was my birthday yesterday and I thought I’d do a bit of a photo audit of all my analogue cameras, as my collection seems to have been quietly growing out of control over the last few years… So, no less than FOUR Zenits now, although I only use the one I was originally given, […]

Lomography Redscale XR in the Trip 35

One of the so-called disadvantages of film photography is the fact that you have to wait until the roll is finished before processing and finally seeing what you’ve captured. I’m firmly of the belief that this can well be a good thing too. Quite often I’ll put a film in a camera, take a few […]
