Retired to Derbyshire where I walk and photograph with my German Shepherd.
Pinned
By way of introduction - I'm retired and live in beautiful Derbyshire where I walk my dog (German Shepherd), take photographs and, of course, visit pubs.

This photograph was taken on a walk starting in Tideswell with a lovely little Olympus 35RC using Kodak Gold 200.

I love a gateway, they're easy for Bay to get through.

I love old VW campervans and I pass this one regularly. There's two others in the same, quiet, country lane.

This truck is a local favourite of mine, as is this camera as black and white straight out of the camera is superb.

I saw this smoke as I came down the towpath in Braunston. As I took the photograph a malinois, was barking like hell through the window. My German Shepherd was unmoved. Anyhow, this was exactly as I imagined the photograph.

I'm not entirely sure what happened here. It's not a light leak, the sun is low and coming from the right, so maybe a light flare. This sort of thing is what makes film interesting and, occasionally, random.

Again, interesting colours and works best with bright colours against a dark background. Distinctive.

It's not a film for everyone, but it's interesting. Kudos to the company for pushing the limits.

Phoenix can have interesting colour shifts. This is straight out of the camera with very little editing in Lightroom. It's showing a bit of halation, which not everyone likes, but I do.

This is the second version of Harmon's experimental Phoenix film. It's still a bit hit and miss, but in this case, it captured the colours nicely.

I scratched the film loading it onto the processing reel when I developed my first film this year so I went back and took it again. I liked the contrast between Bay and the gravestones as paving.

Trial shot with a TLR camera and despite the mirror viewfinder weird left/right transposition and being very dim outside the center, I nailed the focus. I wasn't sure, but everything works, which is a miracle as it is 75 years old, so this one is a keeper.
