Fenland is my home and muse.
Pinned
The Fenland of Cambridgeshire is my photographic “backyard” -a place of wide open landscape broken by drains, droves and lines. The rich black peat , slowly eroding contrasts against constantly changing light.

Using pinhole, polaroid and Holga cameras I try to capture the still beauty of the place.
The Pentax 17 continues to perform - fun times in the Fenland Darkroom.

Today in the land of the RETIRED I have mostly been having coffee and looking at prints with local pal and printer Robin Jones - film and darkroom chatter then out into the fens for an hour.
If you find yourselves anywhere near me give me a shout - coffee chat and fens.

These days my #FilmPhotography spending money goes on chemicals and paper mostly - don’t mention photo books. Shout out to Firstcall Photographic for their decades of dedication to this analogue world .

Finally finished all the seasons of “You” on Netflix - a fitting ending all in all

Ok I’m now happy with the final print from 2024 trip to Spain with my Pentax 17.
Not used the Fuji DP2 paper before but looking forward to making more 10x12 prints in the Fenland Darkroom.

Yep well the old 12x16 is definitely fogged see the difference compared to fresh DP2 test print

Have to get some fresh 12x16 I guess at some point @olu-gh.bsky.social

Time to see if this sealed 16x20 bow of paper is any good .
I only have one print drum big enough.

Recently I shared the link to the YouTube video showing how Ctein made dye transfer prints.
The second edition of his book is available free on line as a PDF download and is recommended if you want to dive deeper into film and darkroom technique

Resisted all the Black Friday film deals so far - my fridge is heaving with film but I do need paper and chemicals but they aren’t sexy enough to qualify ….. unless you know otherwise?

I’m loving the “Frames” subscription - monthly digital mag, quarterly print mag and tomorrow an interactive zoom meeting with a guest photographer - had Alec Soth in the past .
There’s a great members social site too.

Found a bottle of white rum in the cupboard - immediately transported back to the 80s when I mixed it with coke (the drink not the snorting variety)….

Next stage of the colour #SlowPhotography process is to ponder the frames for some more #HalfFrameStories - good job I’ve got a good stash of paper.

@stigofthedump.bsky.social is turning into quite the Lo-Fi enthusiast - we will get him onto the podcast on the new year and see if it’s just a passing infatuation…….

Despite some issues with framing, which I hope I've fixed, I really like how the lens on this little Diana F+ Dreamer renders (the pinhole I'm less enamoured with)

Whilst I’ve been coming to terms with the arthritis in my hip, today marked a huge turning point as for the first time since I was 16 I no longer have a job.
Handed my resignation letter in to Tesco today as my body has told me I need to stop.
I’ll be 60 next year - early retirement it is then…

Relying on muscle memory to use this with a 10 stop ND - so many steps that could lead to a non exposure

A Holga, some @ilfordphoto.com #HP5 with a red filter and some RC paper - the London Eye is of course well photographed but hey - when in London……
