Photographed November 2018 / KW Praktiflex 35mm SLR (2nd generation M40 screw mount) with Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 🔺T 5cm/3.5 lens. Film was KENTMERE 400 bulk stock metered at ASA 200 developed in PYROCAT-HD....sodium carbonate version (5ml A + 50ml B > 600ml, 7min @ 20*C). Negative scanned in a JUMBL scanner box unit; image processed and finished in Flickr. Cropped slightly from full frame.

Looks to me that these are the originals, quite rare as most were removed for the metal in WW2, although there is evidence that most of scrap collected was never actually used and was dumped at sea the whole exercise being a "bonding" of the nation exercise.

The site is the Preston Watling Street Road Workhouse.

I made this exposure with the idea of cropping it very severely, maybe to 1:3, and it's likely I will do so still - but I decided to sit with it at full size a while first.

Photographed April 2024 / I used a Voigtlander 129 format film camera with Anastigmat Skopar 8.3cm/4.5 lens in dial set Compur shutter. The film was ILFORD DELTA 400 120 roll film cut and respooled to 129 format. The scene was metered ASA 320 and then developed in PYROCAT-HD glycol version.The negative was scanned with a PENTAX k3 DSLR and EL-NIKKOR 63mm/2.8 lens on a helicoid extension tube. The image was rendered on an iPad 9th generation using the Snapseed application: full frame scan of entire negative area: no trimming.

I thought the plastic wrap would look good on film, it is like shiny metal it seems to glow on emulsion.

Any shiny metallic tends to look good in B/W. A puzzle here was where to place the plane of focus.

Part of my behind the window series. I thought it a shame he couldn't admire the view. He was captured at f2 on the new Ferrania P30 aplha film this time developed in Pyrocat HD one of my favourite developers. Doesn't take up a large stain, that varies between emulsions, and retains it's own "look" as it should. testing show 80 iso can be right but 50iso more comfortable perhaps a little more light not less is always welcome.

Photographed December 2018 / Ricoh 500, 35mm rangefinder with RIKEN Ricomat 4.5cm/2.8 lens. Film was KENTMERE 400 bulk stock metered ASA 200 developed in sodium carbonate version PYROCAT-HD (5ml A + 50ml B > 600ml, 7min, 20*C). Negative was scanned in a JUMBL scanner box unit; image was processed & finished in Flickr.. Trimmed very slightly out of 'full frame'. VERY occasionally circumstances combine to obtain this quality of light: very still damp air, a frost on the ground and morning mist as rays from the rising sun filter through the branches of trees. A wonderful moment in time I feel privileged to have captured on film.

Needed tripod at full height and a small folding footstool for this one. Massive amount of front rise needed to get this, very doubtful if you could do this without a view camera of some kind (a tilt-shift on 35mm wouldn't work I don't think, and it would look very weird anyway).
