Holga Week is an annual photographic event that celebrates the humble Holga and runs from the 1st to the 7th of October. I frequently miss it, so this year I made a concerted attempt to take part as I have a number of Holgas and love messing with them. They say that if you can …
FujiColour C200 35mm Film
A recent trip to Marlay Park, on a lovely Summers day for a Pinhole Workshop, enabled me to take my Canon 300V loaded with a roll of FujiColour C200 film for an outing. I am trying to keep better notes on what film I used with which camera, in an effort to help me decide …
Colour Development
The kit I use for colour development is the Tetenal ColourTec C-41 kit, it comes with all the liquid chemicals you need, you just have to add water. Initially I was nervous about trying to develop my own C-41, however, I found it to be easier than developing black and white film. I just realised …
C-41 Stand Development Results
Well, even though this process is simple, my first attempt was a disaster, as I had forgotten to add the third chemical to the developer mix and I sadly lost three rolls of film. Oh well, I will try again. I have caught up with my colour development, all of which I did over two …
Polaroid Street Shots
A few weeks ago I took my One Step 2 out for a walk in town with a pack of black and white film as well as the remainder of a pack of colour film. I used flash suppression and did not use the lighten or darken options. Also, I did not cover the prints …
Instax SQ10 Close up/Macro

Lomography have done this with their Instax cameras, so the idea is not new, but, this is the first time FujiFilm have made …
Cinestill X-Pro Daylight 50
I shot my first roll of 35mm Cinestill X-Pro Daylight 50 Film, to do this I shot it at box speed with a Canon 300V over two mornings, both of which were both sunny and overcast. I used no filters, nor have I post processed these in any way, I had them developed by Conns …
C-41 Film Stand Development Process
This is the process I am going to use for developing my C-41 films using the stand development technique. I will post some scans of the photos I process this way. I have processed C-41 rolls at home before, using the regular system. Previously I have used the stand process for black and white films. …
My Top 5 Colour Photographers
My top five colour photographers are: Saul Leiter. I love his colour street work from New York. Some of the elements of Saul Leiter's work that appeal to me include, his use of abstraction and his use of the colour red. He has documented one particular area of New York beautifully. http://pin.it/vbuQx3T Aberlado Morrell. In particular …
