I spotted them on the drive this morning and thought I would share the bendy world that is the widelux. Everything you see here is straight unless you throw in a widelux.

Seeing a video of a drone crashing into a pier, made me think of this image taken on my @realitysosubtle.bsky.social 4x5z during my last visit to Coney Island.
I had to press & hold the mini tripod I had with me against a pillar for the exposure.

Could you imagine in 1965 rolling down the new M6 and seeing this the Forton Services for the first time.
Image taken not long after it opened. It is one of many thousands of images I have in my collection ranging from glass plate negs from the 1800's to slides into the 1990's.

I see a repeating pattern.
So open the camera and look for that pattern.
There will also be light hitting that same thing, whether that’s a problem or not is to be established after you open and find the pattern.
please post images of the open camera the film plate looks like a suspect (26)

I can't remember the context for it but from memory I captured the people in places they were comfortable in, be that a workplace or where they met to sing.
All using the available light.

The only thing that sticks in my head currently about it is the call to engage me, it came in a 5am NYC time (to me) when I was fast asleep.

1/3 Happy New year to you all.
I was doing a wee bit of file housekeeping I came across these:
A few years ago the National Theatre of Scotland asked me to do some portraits of one of their choirs for an upcoming exhibition in a local gallery / museum / community space.

That’s exactly why it is in my experience as well.
Lower protein percentage and overall a denser type of flour.
The higher the mix of whites the higher it rises
The bran and wheat germ I understand also breaks down the gluten strings which give that bounce

The last bake of the year
from my san fran.
48 hour ferment
I have been using this one more so it’s now at the peak of its oven bouncing. Uncontrollably so 😂
I do try but it still manages to find ways to expand I hadn’t seen..
Prob less sourdough in mix needed.

Glasgow night scene Tri-X at 1600 - hc110
I am still not sure I like or dislike the the effect the swing lens has on lights.
The wider its open the more flaring it creates. Here it is at f5.6-f8 at 2.8 it can be quite overpowering in the image.

Here's a photo of the the Three Towers in Motherwell that came down the other week. This was taken when they were still being used.
One of Kodaks odd films, 2468. A positive microfilm with a rather low speed rating at 0.03 ISO give or take. Develops in normal chems. #filmphotography #film

I had to initially write this one off due to so many rain splodges on the image.
The AI remove function in photoshop has been able to remove all the crap from it, plus a few cranes / large lamp posts in the fore.

I see the orange fella has interfered in another country yet again….
I wonder why
Could it be the gold
Make Americas Gold Accumulate.
Countries must be shitting themselves that dementing Donny decides to come to their rescue.
His help cost more than the problems they have already
