So I wanted to do more colour pinhole, and last year I had great success with Kodak Ektar 100. It was a no brainer to take some again with me this time. I was specifically looking for things with colours, subtle or vivid. I had some success with things on the beach, including this boat.... Continue Reading →

I wasn't sure whether I would be going to the Isle of Skye this year, what with...you know. COVID! But I did, and I am glad I did. After last year, I had set myself some goals, one of which was to do more pinhole photography and importantly, more colour. I took with me some... Continue Reading →

I guested on the Lensless podcast, which was a great honour for me. On this show (epsidoe 92) I mentioned I wanted to try putting some Harman Direct Positive paper in a holga. So I did. I had recently adapted my holga with a cable release adapter, so I could experiment with some longer exposures.... Continue Reading →

I have been having a lot of fun with my large format camera, and I wanted a new challenge. I had heard all about direct positive paper form Harman, and particularly the challenges in making it work in exposure. So, not one to balk at a daft idea, I ordered some, and set about my...

The final day of the experiment has poor weather, but I managed to get possibly my favourite image of the week. This is Castle Hill, or Victoria Tower ON Caslte Hill, Huddersfield most prominent local landmark. I had wanted to capture this all week, and was lucky that the fog came back for me to...

Thursday was an interesting day. I was running out of steam and ideas, and the weather was making a turn for the worst. I headed out anyway, determied to finish my challenge. I had wanted to do some sparkler play for a long time, and I thought the wet conditions and using the pinhole would... Continue Reading →

In this shoot I planned a couple of days, and it was sort of weather dependant. On Wednesday though the weather turned on my and I didn't have a clue what to do. I decided to try something I never tried before, which was double exposures. I positioned Dante on a vent and pointed up... Continue Reading →

This one was a funny one. I had found out about this location only a week or two before going to photograph it, and I was particularly excited. This is one of the places and shoots I had specifically previsualised, so the sting of finding out there was no battery in the camera was particularly... Continue Reading →

After my epic rant in the pinhole episode, I decided to run a little experiment. Trouble it, it was doomed from the very start. I decided to use my week off shooting less images. This is in an attempt to shop running and gunning when out on a walk, and retuning with 2 good images... Continue Reading →

I had a lovely email asking me about my metering techniques I decided to make an episode of the podcast about the techniques I use, and so I needed a blog post to support it. I decided to take the large format camera out and talk about the metering techniques I use to produce correct... Continue Reading →
