Sorry Hades, but Forsyth was a force to be reckoned with (who else misses Bruce’s Price is Right?) Glory days

I know I keep saying I’ll upload more 🫣 But for now it’s cake 🎂 Yesterday was my 38th birthday, which was spent walking from Merthyr to Abernant and then a birthday meal at the newly reopened Rhoswenallt ☺️

This animal is going to self combust into an inferno if he doesn’t get off the metal surface in the sun - it’s 28°C / 82.4F!! 😱

Aiming to be posting a lot regularly. Took some time to get my mojo back, got a few things to post over the past few months. Here’s a little sneak peek at last Saturday with my Fujifilm X-T30ii

A little wander around today with the Fujifilm set to Classic Chrome simulation. Nice to have the sunny weather making things a little bit cheerful for once ☀️

Recently sold my full frame. Now using Fujifilm X-T30ii. It may be crop sensor, but at an impressive 26 megapixels it’s certainly not under par. Images from today at Cwmbach Wetlands using a Classic Kodak “film simulation” recipe straight from camera 📷

Back with a new post. Scans from Instax Mini 90, long / double exposure of snowy street. Something a little abstract 📷

Merry Christmas to me!!! *throws arms out wide* How appropriate for the book to open straight on the Bailey’s film soup recipe - it’s the season for it after all 😆 Looking forward to trying a bunch if these methods out in the new year 📷

Wishing you all a merry Christmas. Let’s hope 2025 means more creativity!! For now be merry oh and eat the chocs!! 🎄 📷

It’s now official. I am no longer on the other platform. After 15 years of having an account on there, it was way past my time to leave. Not just the algorithm mess, it was the fact security was risked by the imminent losing of the block button, safety and sanity was paramount. I shall rebuild here.

One from a few weeks ago. Image of me taken by @clinttms81.bsky.social I wasn’t willing to hold my 35mm camera over the edge of a 115ft viaduct! 🤣

I tend to shoot a lot of bands. Here is a sneak peek from August. Band: Ortario

Camera: Canon EOS 1000FN
Lens: Sigma DL 35-80mm F4-5.6
Film: Fujifilm C200 pushed 1+ stop to 400 iso

Still around, looking to potentially post more on here but is there a way to “train” the algorithm? As in seeing the posts, subjects and accounts that I am interested in? It’s wall-to-wall stuff I don’t want to see or haven’t interacted with on the other platform, would like this to be customisable.

I’m back! I’m happy to announce Mercury Rose Photographic became Mercury Rose Media on January 26th. New beginnings, new name (Stay tuned for upcoming content!

Might add that yes, it’s still photography. Just more visuals added into the mix.

Two years ago, I was sent an EPK of “Dr. Jones” to review by a band called The Now. Two years later (and their popularity grew!) I’m front stage photographing them at a local music festival in my hometown of Merthyr Tydfil. Surreal doesn’t quite cover it! 📷

Apparently this is my activity from Saturday…how on earth did I manage to do all that in one day?! 😶

Let’s see what this is like, then…
