I was out in Àvila today with my Mamiya M645 shooting #fp4 Àvila is famous for its town walls dating back to Medieval times. Allegedly they are the finest example in the world.

@npub1gzd…nxre Thanks. It took me a while to set this up and I was pleased with how it came out. I took the same shot on Porta; that didn’t work at all.

@npub1y86…c7j6 That is really interesting. I would love to use an old phone to log GPS coordinates and notes for my film photos.

@npub1hp6…sxca You got the framing spot on. Was it point and hope, or have you calibrated it in some way.

@npub1gjs…5s84 So overall, a good day.
Interested to see how the photography degree pans out if you go for it.

The wildflowers are coming to an end for this year. The temperatures are soaring and the wildflowers are all burnt and dried up.

I have not done any pinhole photo for a while. Today I put that right and shot a roll of Foma 100 on my Le Rouge 66 pinhole camera. I’m definitely out of practice; I hope I got my framing right!

@npub1gzd…nxre It's amazing what a difference the lens makes. All other factors being equal, I assume it must be the lens; the camera is just a light proof box.

@npub1gzd…nxre Foma are adamant that the “black rain” is caused by the stress caused to the film by the film path in some medium format cameras. According to them it is not a supplier or storage issue.

@npub17ns…h6qj Maybe I could use some of these ideas to justify the purchase of some more photo gear.

@npub17ns…h6qj Clearly multi purposing space is a big thing with film photography. I wonder what the most bizarre usage is 🤔

Yesterday was a busy day. I developed six rolls of film; two rolls of B&W Kentmere 120, two B&W Delta 100 35mm and two Kodak Colour 200 35mm. And I scanned the lot!
These were all taken during a one week break near Càdiz. Now to start planning my next road trip…

2024-05-29 19:59:37

- reply

@npub1mc7…d27e Thanks. I do like Delta 100. Great resolution, tonal range and fine grained. I think it is perfect for 35mm. For medium format I tend to favour FP4, although I have bought a brick of Kentmere 100 to try.

I have been quiet here lately because I have been out scouting new photo locations. Today I was at the abandoned mines of Mazarrón. What an amazing place. I ran out of film! It will take a while before I post the photos ; I have so many in the pipeline. Here is a little taster of what's to come.
