Why is Kiki Pan packaging so adorable? It's my friend's 13 year old daughter Tanisha's project. Kiki is her beloved cat. Please repost here and on other social media to raise awareness! camerafilmphoto.com/products/kik...

Kikipan320 packaging. Turn it over, it has paws!

She dropped by Camera Film Photo and made this display: Cats visiting the Pyramid of KikiPan

Fallen rose petals. My iPhone was in my pocket, so that is what I used.

Rose petals that have fallen from a flower in a small vase in the top left hand corner of the photograph. They are lying diagonally across a ceramic coaster in the centre.

A few more from my first roll of Kiki Pan 320. I used a yellow filter, which moved the factory original lens hood far enough forward to cause some vignetting. Pentax Spotmatic F Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4 Developed in HC 110 1:31 for 8m 45s #kikipan #kikipan320 #believeinfilm

A small shop called Madam Calliope's Metaphysical Varieties. There are chairs and planters with flowers by the entrance, which is under a roof overhang.

A wooden notice board attached to a fence. There is a painted cartoon-like dog cutout at the top of the notice board under a pitched roof frame. The dog is looking up towards a dog poop bag dispenser on a fence post.

A somewhat dilapidated store called Pier 66 Market & Liquor Store. The area at the front has an uneven path with a planter, mailbox, and a parking sign.

From my first roll of Kiki Pan 320. Thank you to Camera Film Photo HK and @zdp189.bsky.social for the film. Local forest walks with my Pentax Spotmatic F and SMC Takumar 50mm f1.4 lens. Film developed HC 110 1:31 for 8m 45s. #kikipan #kikipan320 #believeinfilm

A walking path leads from the bottom of the photograph and disappears into the forest. Trees and ferns surround the path.

From a walk through a local area of temperate rain forest. A couple of moss-covered trees in the centre each have bent branches that curve to the left and right. Ferns surround the trees.

Rare and protected Garry Oak trees in a preserve. The trees are surrounded by dense underbrush that occupies the bottom half of the photograph.

Another photograph of the Garry Oak preserve with more open space in the foreground and mid-ground. There is a sun-bleached dead tree on the ground centre-right in the frame.

I finally got around to posting my photograph, "Garry Oak Preserve", for #worldwidepinholephotographyday 2026. The location is close to my home in North Cowichan on Vancouver Island. ONDU 6x12 Rise multi-format camera with Kentmere 200 film developed in HC 110 1:31. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

Twisted and bent trees dominate the scene, with underbrush covering the lower area. A black-and-white photograph made with a pinhole camera.

A lovely new zine has landed on my very messy desk. Thank you @paulasmith.co.uk for my copy of AMBLE In the Forest Vol. 1. The personalised card was a much-appreciated bonus. Interesting to think that it might be the only copy in British Columbia...

Chris Bone @chrisbone.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Not much to show from my second roll for #folderweek April '26. I omitted to change the exposure when moving from shade to a brightly lit location. Rookie mistake! Kye Bay, Vancouver Island. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, Kentmere Pan 200 dev in HC 110 1+31 for 5 min. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A beach scene at low tide with bands of sand of different tones running diagonally from lower left to centre right. The sand is dotted with sun-bleached oyster shells. In the middle distance is a small band of water with a few boats. On the horizon, there are mountains on the mainland of British Columbia. A cloudy sky occupies the top half of the image. The location is Kye Bay on Vancouver Island.

Chris Bone @chrisbone.bsky.social · 3mo ago

For #folderweek April '26, I finished off a roll of @ilfordphoto.com HP5+ that was already in my Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, then exposed part of a roll of Kentmere Pan 200. These are from the roll of HP5+ developed in HC 110 1+31 for 5 min. at 20C. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A large derelict house surrounded by trees and covered in graffiti.

Part of an old disused garage covered in graffiti.

A graffiti-painted wall with a strange "extraterrestrial" figure and the words "batteries not included".

Garry Oak trees in a preserve to protect this increasingly rare species. The lower half of the photograph is almost entirely dense undergrowth.

Chris Bone @chrisbone.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I have developed one of my films from #worldwidepinholephotographyday, the other one is still in my RSS 6x6f with a few frames left on it. #WPPD ONDU 6x12 Rise multi-format Kentmere Pan 200 HC 110 dilution B (1+31) for 5 min. at 20C Please click on the images to view, particularly the second one.

A black and white photograph made with a pinhole camera. It shows Garry Oak trees and underbrush. The trees are fairly skinny and twisted in silhouette against the sky

A black and white photograph made with a pinhole camera. It shows boathouses and some floating homes on either side of a wooden dock. The image is very tall, and the camera was placed just above the dock to give an exaggerated perspective. Most of the clear blue sky appears very dark thanks to a red filter.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography #foldersweek Camera, film, meter. Let's go. Though it is rather dull presently ..... mmmm.

A photo of a folding camera in a leather case, a light meter, a roll of film.

Out and about today with my ONDU 6x12 Rise, and RSS 6x6f pinhole cameras, both loaded with Kentmere Pan 200. #worldwidepinholephotographyday #WPPD

This old red cedar fence needs repair. Olympus AF-1 P&S. My last post for #FP4party this time around. Thank you @paulasmith.co.uk for organising. Cheers, until the next one... @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ developed in FX39 II 1+19 for 15 min. #fridayfavourites #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A rustic fence made from split red cedar logs. It is in need of repair.

This part of a rustic fence made from split red cedar logs has collapsed. It is partially obscured by blackberry bushes that have been cleared from the surrounding area.

Chris Bone @chrisbone.bsky.social · 4mo ago

The first 30+ frames from my Olympus AF-1 P&S all had major light leaks, a first for this camera. Strangely, the last few were fine. I have a hunch! #FP4party @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ developed in FX39 II 1+19 for 15 min. #fridayfavourites #believeinfilm #filmphotography

An old wooden barn now serves as the Old Farm Market. This black and white photograph shows the end wall decorated with farming tools and various pieces of horse harness. At the bottom are two cartoon-like characters of a mule and a cow.

Hi #FP4party folks, anyone else experiencing problems posting on Bluesky? I can't add photos.

The Duncan Showroom is a slightly shabby and funky live music venue. Sometimes, people stop to play the old pianos outside. #FP4party Fuji GW690 v.1 @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ developed in FX39 II 1+19 for 15 min. #fridayfavourites #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A live music venue called the Duncan Showroom has old pianos outside for passersby to play. In this black-and-white photograph, there is also a wooden ticket kiosk outside the entrance.

An old poster from a previous 39 Days of July music festival covers a doorway in the side of the Duncan Showroom music venue. There is ivy growing to the left and over the top of the poster. A plastic milk crate has been left on the ground in front of the doorway.

Bastion Square in Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island. #FP4party Fuji GW690 v.1 @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ developed in FX39 II 1+19 for 15 min. #fridayfavourites #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A black and white photograph showing the front of an historic three-storey building in Victoria, British Columbia. The area in front has old ornate gas streetlights, now converted to electric. There are circular patterns with brick surrounds on the ground. A tree casts its shadow at the left-hand end of the building.

A little self-reflection for the #FP4party. Fuji GW690 v.1 @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ developed in FX39 II 1+19 for 15 min. #fridayfavourites #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A view through a shop window in black and white. A mounted deer head and some dried plants are behind the window. There is a swirly pattern painted on the glass, together with the word 'VINTAGE' partially visible at the bottom of the photograph. An indistinct reflection of the photographer can just be seen.

Behind schedule, but arrived in the end. My first post for #FP4party. Coffee Time Triptych. It's wide, so you may need to click to view. Fuji GW690 @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ developed in FX39 II #fridayfavourites #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A black and white triptych of an old garage that has been converted to house several small businesses, including a bakery and coffee shop, an art gallery, a used book store, a hair salon, and an acupuncture clinic. People are sitting at tables outside enjoying coffee and conversations.

Kiki Pan 320 is in the house. Many thanks, Dan K @zdp189.bsky.social and Camera Film Photo HK. Neat to see developing times along with more cat goodness inside the box. Results to follow.

Three boxes containing Kiki Pan 320 black-and-white film. The boxes are printed with a cat motif representing Kiki, the office cat at the film supplier's office.

I have been having some fun with triptychs recently. This is my first attempt, created in the Lightroom Classic print module. The photographs of a local skatepark were made a while ago using my ONDU pinhole camera and Fomapan 200 film. #believeinfilm #filomphotography #filmisnotdead

A black and white triptych made up of pinhole photographs of a skatepark. Each photograph shows the graffiti that covers most surfaces around the skatepark.

Another rainy day in Port Alice here on Vancouver Island.

A black and white photograph of a rainy and misty coastal scene. There is a thin strip of water at the bottom with a jetty extending from the lower right-hand corner, where a group of trees is shown in silhouette. On the opposite side is a steep forested slope extending down to the water. The cloudy sky that merges with mist on the water makes up most of the image.
