After working on the boat.

Who doesn’t love the gear acquisition bug?? May have treated myself to a #Linhof Technika to save lugging the heavier thing around for some quicker shots. So far I love it but the lens it came with has a few limitations and some really nice quirks.

Test photos on expired film and it’s come out nice. The Carisbrooke castle photo is on my trusty but heavy AF monorail Toyo. Must. Develop. The. Slide. Film. I keep blaming the delay in processing on needing a million bottles for the chemicals (it’s not cheap, doesn’t keep and mixes in the wrong final amount for me). That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it, and it’s nothing to do with a total loss of confidence in myself on that front.

Must remember focussing loupe though. That’s essential. 🤦

My heart! I tried to do a hasty contact print of this last night in the toilet (shh) which was a total disaster. There are three shots of this, two black and white and one colour on expired slide film, which I am yet to develop. In the cramped downstairs loo with the enlarger propped up on the toilet seat, I spilled some developer on the two B&W negs. One is a write-off and this one has some damage I’ve been able to cover up a little with the canner and some fun smelling chemicals.

Here’s the salvage effort of Totland Bay, Isle of Wight.

Managed to get a few hasty shots of the fog before work yesterday on the #largeformat. Something is scratching or making the negatives, more than likely it’s me. Photos are #fomapan 100 and 200 as well as one with #Ilford #DPP Paper.

Jollife’s cowes. Scrappy photo and scan of this Art Nouveau gem. Hit the limit of movements available with a wide angle lens on the large format and metered the exposure forgetting the polariser 🤦.

Toyo 45gii, Schneider angulon 90mm, Fomapan 200.
