So this is my first attempt at putting together a collage style photo composed of multiple different layers captured at different windlights. Like a stack. I need to work on controlling light better so I can get highlights rather than just different colors. I kinda like it though!
While a very fun location to hike almost any time of year, Rock House is by far the trickiest to photograph. The large rock formations are set back far enough that even in the most subdued light can pose a challenge of extreme contrast range. That leaves a film photographer with few choices as to what type of film developer they'll use to represent the scene.
The easy way out would be to let the background blow out and take more detail in the rock. Or maybe even bracket and *gasp* stitch together an HDR in post. When applicable, I try to never do either. This shot is yet another in a long line of examples why I love Pyrocat HD.

On the Ashridge Estate again today. I swear this has appeared since last week when we did this walk. Though more likely I just didn’t notice it.

These bracket fungi growing on an old willow stump beside the river were a bit old and manky, but still seemed to hold a certain charm.
In fact an oil lamp bracket. The bracket is on the footbridge at Danzey station and dates from GWR days when the station had no gas or electricity and the only lighting was from Tilley lamps.
The train approaching is the 172332 with the 11.56 Stourbridge Junction to Stratford-upon-Avon service.
This was my last pre-lockdown picture.

150274 rolls into Blackpool North station with 2N97, the 1720 from Manchester Victoria.
The sole surviving signal box in Blackpool, the 1896, Lancashire and Yorkshire-built Blackpool North No.2 stands on the left of the frame.
The 75% full moon in August. I bracketed the exposures and processed it into HDR for more definition.
158903 clags towards Broomfield station with 1W46 Sheffield to Scarborough, nice to get two bracket signals in the same shot.
Designer; Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin
About 1851
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Missouri
"Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin was the most important promoter and designer of the mid-1800's revival of the Gothic style. In 1846, Pugin was hired to oversee the the furnish of the houses of Parliament, where this bracket clock was originally installed. He used plaster casts of well-known English and French Gothic architectural features as inspiration for the motifs of vines, trefoils, ribbons, and beveled corners. These elements added a dynamic composition to the restrained clock form."
It pleased me as an engineer to see something functional in an art museum. I often think that there is impressive beauty in functional things that are well done. The most obvious of example of this would be classic cars, but other things like clocks can be works of art too.
When I dropped this off, the clerk exclaimed "This is the new Cinestill 800T/120!"
I replied, "Yes, I'm a beta tester."
They'll be getting a report after I post a few more (I want them to see my handiwork, obvs)
Impressions: very forgiving. Right now, the ONLY tungsten balanced 120 print film I'm aware of.
Mamiya 645J, a minute at F8 (I think - while I did bracket, it's super hard to tell which is which) with 55 2.8N. Scanning: Epson V600. Edited in Lightroom, final de-graining and sharpness in NeatImage.

At last a chance to get out with my camera for a few hours! Between storms and commitments, I have not been able to be out and about for a few weeks. So it was with relish that I set off the capture some early morning shots around the docks of Belfast.
