Fragmented Holga

Test pano type shot with Holga & Velvia 100F. Not a great scan but a glimpse of something promising. Best viewed at full size.

Lung

I was going to leave the vaseline alone for a while but then I remembered I wanted to post this one. Besides, I haven't got the other stuff scanned yet ;) I can't remeber the tech details for this but I think it's HP5 in Prescysol.

Vaseline Willis

Juvenile title I know. This is the last of my colour vaseline experiments. Looking forward to shooting another roll soon. Might try some Velvia!

Smear Test

Sorry about the title, couldn't help myself ;) More tests with Holga + Vaseline + long exposures.

More Vaseline

More Vaseline! Same spec as the others :)

More fun with Vaseline

Somewhere along the Thames. Holga + Vaseline + Kodak Porta VC 160.

Holga + Vaseline + Remote Release =

The Lloyds building through vaseline. Testing the 'vaseline effect' with colour. Still not really what I'm after but getting there... Holga, Kodak Porta VC 160 pushed 1.5 stops and scanned.

Reflecting on the City

Double exposure, City Road. holg + Kodack Porta VC 160, pushed to 400. Scan from neg.

Vaseline Pano

I know it's not a new idea to put vaseline on your lens to give a photo that 'dreamy' look but it's something I've been meaning to get round to trying for a while. This is a two shot pano done in camera, with a Holga, in St. Mary's Graveyard, Leyton. Vaseline applied directly to the lens. Scan from neg. HP5, I think. Hp5 is my new Neopan, at least for a while.

Back!

Wow, has it really been that long since my last post? I had a bit of a manic last quarter of last year. A week long trip to Cumbria resulted in around 30 rolls of film to dev and print (still working on them) and finally, the sale of my house, at last! Will update with a new photo later today and try to resume semi regular weekly updates. Cheers, Guy

The Jetsons

Queen Mary, University of London. Diana F+ & Delta 100.
Scan from Neg.

Brutalism Revisited

Moving away from the film swap series for a moment. I've been meaning to get back to the Belfron Tower, Ernő Goldfinger's Brutialist 60's masterpiece, for a while now. I discovered on my arrive that I only had 4 shots left on my Diana and two of those I took with the 'B' setting accidentally on (again). Still, it's only a 15 min walk from where I live now. This is Delta 400, which I'm trying out as a replacement for Neopan 400 when stock go. Semi-stand developed in Rodinal 1+100 for 36mins. This is a scan from neg. Will see how it prints when I'm next in the darkroom but on initial inspection contrast looks good! Could be a nice (if rather expensive) replacement film.

London + Detroit VIII

Well more like Kent and Somewhere Outside Detroit! More from the film swap series done with Kim. Neopan 400 was shot by me, rewound back on the spool, sent to Detroit and the same roll was shot over and developed and printed by Kim.
