Agfa Record II folding 6x9 camera, sadly affected by the dreaded Agfa 'green grease' issue so the focus is stuck solid, hopefully I'll be able to repair it. #vintagecamera #filmphotography 📷

If it's junk I might turn it into a pinhole camera.

Agfa Click II camera incoming, it was listed on Ebay as untested so fingers crossed it still works or is an easy fix. 📷

Did you know you can find two remnants of the old London Bridge in Victoria Park?
The current London Bridge was built in 1967 replacing an earlier one that was built in 1831.
When the bridge was demolished a few of the alcoves were saved. Two are in Victoria Park.

Black and white night photograph of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The grand dome dominates the skyline, lit against the dark sky, with architectural details of the columns and arches sharply highlighted by spotlights.

One of the most useful apps for planning outdoor photo shoots is TPE. Shows the direction of the sun and moon at any location, date and time. This is how the sun will fall on Wandsworth Prison today, for a photo I’m doing for the ‘Rebellion!’ exhibition.

This afternoon I've been trying out scanning film with a digital camera, 35mm colour was a failure but 120 B&W a bit better. Ferrymead, Christchurch, New Zealand, possibly late 1990's with my Fathers old Ricohflex TLR.
