Analogue and digital photography imposter. When not making images, I play guitar, listen to music, or watch arthouse movies. The GP logo is from my soon-to-be real photography web site, GravuraPhoto.net
Always have a camera with you. Even if it’s an iPhone…
Some medium format piccys taken outside Wicken, Cambs. Pentacon Six, Fuji Acros 100. 50mm f4. Polarising filter. Think I messed up development (Adox Rodinal). Still, OK I guess. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #mono #mediumformat #pentaconsix
Busy day today. And a busy day scanning tomorrow. Slightly dubious about the quality of a couple of these rolls. I’ve tried Adox Rodinal for the first time, and not sure I’ve got the timings right. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead
Yummy, these look promising! Paid good money to have these #Fuji #Velvia100 slide film developed by Come Through lab. @warboyssnapper.bsky.social They are from the Saffron Walden steam rally a while back. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead
Just discovered The Cherry Pit in Cambridge. For those in the know, they’re having a Twin Peaks-themed party sometime around Halloween !
#camerasandbeers #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead Just polished off a roll of #cinestill XX in my Minolta Dynax 800si, with 70-210mm f4. Now loading up some #Kodak #Ultramax.
Almost forgot the #pentax17 ran on batteries until mine finally ran out yesterday! New one installed today. Old one lasted from July 2025 🤘🤘 #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead
Hey #filmphotography #believeinfilm friends. I have a job lot of 14 photography books for sale. I’d rather they all went in one go £50 the lot, or £5 each. Can only post 10 pics, so last in reply…
Some of my August shots for the #FrugalFilmProject #FFP Taken at Fishbourne Roman Villa Nikon FE Series E 28mm f2.8 Ilford XP2 Developed in #Bellini C-41 #BelieveInFilm
Finally got around to developing some more colour film (And took delivery of an Apple press so I can make more cider 😎) #filmisnotdead #believeinfilm
#iphonephoto #digital Window? Wall? I really like the ambiguity in this shot (as well as the colours).
First time trying one of my digital photos on aluminium (present for a friend). V pleased with the result! #digitalphoto #largeprint #aluminiumprint #snowdrop
Getting used to checking dials every time I take this little dude out of a bag - things are never the same as I left them 😂 #believeinfilm #pentax17 #halfframe
Went out with Little & Large earlier today for some fenland frolics #believeinfilm #filmphotography #PentaconSix #Pentax17 #FujiAcros #IlfordFP4
Three rolls of #ilfordXP2 developed in Bellini. 1x 35mm (#NikonFE, 28mm E-series) 1x35mm #halfframe #Pentax17 1x 120 6x9 #Zero2000 Managed to drop the 6x9 neg and scratch it. Grrr. #believeinfilm Wonder why the 120 is a different colour…?
Today I have mostly been going to the cinema (twice) and doing some 6x9 pinhole photography. #pinhole #believeinfilm
