@sharongascoigne Busted sounded good in #cowes this afternoon. I bet they went down well in this heat

@sharongascoigne @RobeeShepherd I felt Faithless playing in #Cowes

Seen at #Cowes, #IsleofWight, two weeks ago. It was the evening before #RoundtheIslandRace. Very peaceful.

Old wall, cannon, and sign with warning: 'starting cannon may fire at any time'

Off to the boat for the #RoundTheIslandRace and the sun is shining...for now

A picture from the Cowes Floating Bridge showing boats heading down the River Medina into the Solent. The sky is light but with ominous clouds on the horizon

Cowes at dusk last night. The crescent moon just peeping through. #Cowes #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

A very calm scene. Yachts moored on a flat sea, a town in the distance. It's dusk and the crescent moon is low in the sky, reflections from the artificially lit town are reflecting in the sea, rippling small waves add some interest .

After working on the boat.

A grey (but rather tranquil) Bank Holiday morning #run.

Swimming time in #cowes #isleofwight #dogs

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. 🤦

Photo looking into bath road, cowes on a large format linhof camera

Carisbrooke castle, hasty photo on the monorail Toyo

Castle road, photo on a linhof with unexpected vignette from too much rise movement. I’m an idiot.

Trinity landing, cowes. Supposedly public but it depends on how pricey your boat is, I guess?

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.

@iowct off out to dinner in #Cowes before it refills with red trousers

Guess who knocked the front standard again! Getting the hang, and using a wide angle presents itself with some headaches with the smaller bag bellows.

Trying to correct for the distortion of the wide angle lens, parallels in the verticals and fiddle with the depth of field ‘in-camera’ by moving, rotating and tilting the lens and film plane is a challenge and was so, so close! I need to watch removing the old timey focussing cloth on my head 🥴

Fairly happy otherwise and need to work out why the negs are getting scratched, I suspect it’s the film holder loading process. Second pic is the camera at work, third is a night time test in #norwich, #Norfolk.  #largeformat #ishootfilm #sheetfilm #4x5 #analogphotography #analogue #analoguephotography #mpp #monorailcamera #filmisnotdead #shneider90mm #fomapan #rodinal #cowes #isleofwight #pureislandhappniess #lighthouse #solent
