Happy half frame Friday! #hff

Continuing the build-up to #wwhfpd25 here's a recap of what it's all about.

Black text on white background reads "We are excited to announce the inaugural Worldwide Half-frame Photography Day on 6th September 2025.

A day to celebrate and have fun with this great film format.

We hope people all over the world will go out with their half-frame cameras and have some fun taking photos! Either solo or by going on a photo-walk with other half-frame aficionados."

Screenshot / save page offline? But hard to know what you'll need in the future.

I've not managed to get north of Perth since 2018... It's a beautiful area isn't it.

I don't normally like Lomo Turquoise, but I'll make an exception for these, some cracking photos and I'm so pleased the gratuitous cock shot made the selection. 🤣

I agree with your observation on Instagram, the spray paint matching the paving is a very nice touch.

I have two threaded VND filters. Generally happy but some noticeable uneven darkening if used past about 3 stops. Optically decent, and less colour cast than my B+W fixed 10 stop. Have heard mixed reviews about their magnetic ones which is why I stuck with threaded.

Chroma can probably help scratch the itch at a better quality/price ratio.

Stop spreading misinformation. It's add one week for each stop underexposed. 🤔

I've just downloaded my scans from the two rolls of Gold I used for #wwhfpd25 - 155 images in total. That's my half frame Fridays taken care of for 3 years! 😅

More than I've managed. I'm officially a non-participant this time around. 😔

Look forward to seeing what you got though!
