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
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
📷 Yashica 635 TLR 🎞️ Kodak Gold 200 🧪Bellini C41 🖨️ Canon Pixma A morning happily spent with @warboyssnapper.bsky.social at the Crank Up steam rally near Saffron Walden. First self-developed roll of colour film 😎 #believeinfilm
I appear to have successfully developed my first two rolls of colour negatives!! Chems: Bellini C41 #believeinfilm
Another great photozine incoming. Stoked to be in on another one. What a great community we have 😎🤘 #believeinfilm
The Photozine collective@photozinecoll.bsky.social · 2mo agoA few months ago, the collective put out a call for its new zine, Convergence. This was to be a collaboration between collective members and selected artists. In total there were 26 artists chosen, 13 from the collective and 13 featured artists. You can see all the featured artists here.
Just in... "Thank you for your recent submission for our upcoming photography exhibition Anglesey Abbey: 60 Years with You. I’m delighted to say that we have selected your photo for the exhibition, which is taking place in the Heritage Orchard from 1 June – 31 July ." #believeinfilm
The fruits of a day in the darkroom with the very generous and talented @warboyssnapper.bsky.social Printed from a Kodak Tri-X 120 negative taken on my Pentacon Six. The smaller print was selenium toned.
Thanks @paulasmith.co.uk. What a delightful diversion 😎 I really enjoyed leafing through your fabulous zine. I should wake up and do one of my own 😉
Just printed out a 2013 medium format image taken on my Yashica 635. Scanned on my Epson V750. Edited in Lightroom/Photoshop. Printed using my cheap-but-handy Canon Pixma. It’s been chosen as part of an exhibition of photos for Anglesey Abbey’s 60th anniversary celebrations. #believeinfilm
Paula is a great photographer - highly recommend her stuff 😉
Paula Smith@paulasmith.co.uk · 3mo agoTotally overwhelmed by the support for my new photozine! Thank you so much for the reposts, the orders and the encouragement. Plenty still available so if you are interested drop me a line - or visit: paulasmith.co.uk/shop/books/ #believeinfilm #eppingforest #walthamstow #leytonstone
Latest squeeze - bit of a bargain (until you factor in a lens/filter ring repair tool, a battery adapter, batteries, and film 😂😂)
Met up with @warboyssnapper.bsky.social at Crank Up near Saffron Walden. Great photo ops - we both took TLRs (among other things!!). Here are a couple of iPhone pics to tide us over until I get around to developing some colour film…
Photo friends. Anyone want a 26” Spectraview colour managed monitor? The screen does have a scratch, but not major. It’s free to a good home - just no longer part of my workflow. #photography #colourmanagement
Some more scanned negs. Shots taken in Ely, Cambs. Mamiya RZ67 Fomopan 200 Dev in Ilfotec LC29 Scanned on Epson V700 #believeinfilm
Some favourite recent photos. Abbey-Chesterton bridge, Cambridge. 📷 Mamiya RZ67, 50mm 🎞️ Fuji Acros 100 🧪 Ilfotec LC29 #believeinfilm
It’s been one of those days 😎 Mixed results by the look of things. But seems like my chemicals were ok after all @warboyssnapper.bsky.social #believeinfilm #mamiyaRZ67 #leicaIIIa #nikonFE #mono #filmdevelop #ilfotecLC29
