And now a little colour from my busy breaks in the city.
Ilford XP5 roll 1 - Winter 2019/20
It’s been a busy few months here so I’m afraid I haven’t been posting as much as I’d like. Luckily I have still been able to get out and about with my camera, here is the result.
Ilford HP5 Roll 8 - August 2019
Ilford HP5 Roll 7 - May and August 2019
Portra 400 roll 4 - April 2019
Apologies for the lack of action this month, I’ve been moving house amongst other less fun things that have taken up all of my time. Here’s a nice day’s wander around the city on a sunny day.
Digital Photography - December 18
Wandering around London and then also a kitten which I’m going to steal one day…
Ilford HP5 Roll 6 - November 18
Zoos and cityscapes. A November in and out of London
Digital Photography - Norfolk August 18
A lovely weekend spent on England’s shoulder.
Ilford HP5 roll 5 - July / August 18
A lot of personals on this roll, but here are the more general ones. I love Ilford but I think after the next roll I’m going to give something new a try. Maybe a Tri-X.
Portra 400 roll 3 - April 18
My film camera has been in hibernation for a while in favour of some digital shots. I've been trying to nail editing down but got bored/brilliant so it's back to film. Note the ridiculous variation from snow to sun in the space of two weeks. Good old England.
Digital Iceland 3 - The People
Digital Iceland 2 - Reykjavik
Iceland
Iceland is beyond comprehension. I like to think of myself as being very imaginative. I like to create little worlds in my head, the wackier the better, on a pretty regular basis. The only type of dreaming I do is lucid, I write stories about my dreams and the fanciful places my head takes me to. My imagination even breaks into the real world at times in the form of my habit of greatly over exaggerating even the most mundane stories, though this probably isn't something to brag about.
Digital Iceland 1 - The Landscape
6 Days of Ice and Fire.
Ilford HP5 roll 4 - February 18
Liverpool is a beautiful place when it's not freezing you to death. London isn't too bad either, when it's not burying in snow and... also freezing you to death.

Digital February 18
The Month I went home to eat on the farm.
Kodak Ektar 160 roll
The colours are deeper, the blacks are blacker but it's so much harder to use! Still, this was the first roll that I (almost) managed to get the full 36 photos out of so clearly things are improving. That or I've learnt to leave my camera at home when I'm drinking... Anyway I had a lot of fun with this roll in both London and sunny Liverpool.

Portra 400 roll 2 (January 18)
It was mostly personal pics this time around, but I snapped off a few as I wandered around too.

Kodak 400tx (January 18)
Sometimes a roll comes out great, just as you expected/hoped. sometimes a roll comes out a little fuzzy. And sometimes you get hammered and figure it's a good idea to try and use a 400 iso film in a dark bar underground and waste 3/4 of a roll of expensive film. Ah well, lessons learnt! Here are the ones I took when I sobered up. Plus one example of how not to shoot in a dark bar...
