Living and working in London's iconic East End. Rekindled my fondness for film photography and home development. Dabbler, definitely 🤔🤭

If at first you don't succeed ... Give Up!!! There's no point being a damned fool about it 😄 That's the end of my flirtation with C41 home development (for now). I'm convinced that the developer is kaputt.

It was a beautiful afternoon here in Olde #London Town (as was yesterday). Therefore, obligatory #canarywharf #sunset #cocktail and #digital #iphone #photos. #bokan #novotel #holidayvibes Loved the cocktail. I feel slightly squiffy for a school night 🤔🤣 “the best camera is the one you have with you”

Calling home C41 developers. My first attempt is suboptimal. I see a tiny hint of possible images towards one end, and the information along the edges seems clear. Cs41 powder set, been sat around unopened as powder since 2019(I guesstimate?) mixed tonight. Not hot enough, out of date or camera?

When late night idle internet scrolling has (to my wallet) dangerous real world consequences. But serendipitously, asking nicely got me the last unboxed 35mm #fomapan #ortho #orthochromatic “sold out” roll at the Photographers’ Gallery

Ah, found two rolls of exposed #120 #blackandwhite #films in need of #development. I think they were taken a couple of years ago on the #Holgaweek walk organised by @georgeg.bsky.social which started at Trafalgar Square and on through Chinatown and Soho. 🎞️ #Arista 400 and #ilfordfp4+ 125 in #HC110B

Four pictures from Sunday's sunny stroll with the #Olympus #PenEE2, #Fujica #Halfframe and the supremely #vintage #Kodak #brownie using #ilford #fp4+ and #kosmofoto #mono. Although I am easily pleased, to say I'm blown away by the images from spray and pray would be an understatement.

Well I'll be jiggered. Might still be a hot mess, but I didn't expect to see any actual images from the two #halfframe cameras I took out yesterday. The #Olympus #PenEE2 has zero metering as far as I'm aware, & the #Fujica said all was f22! Shame about losing 2 frames from the #kodak #brownie

Blasted through shooting from the hip on a wing and a prayer. #believeinfilm

It's a beautiful sunny blue sky day (and I have wasted half of it already 🫣. So, I will be experimenting with this lot. #ilford #fp4 #fp4party #35mm film in the #penee2 #halfframe and re-rolled for the #kodak #brownie (possibly oldest #camera I own) with #kosmofoto #mono in the #Fujica half.

#sixnations #rugby #ireland #england. I am conflicted, being a dual national. On the bright side, unless a draw, my team wins 😉👍🏽

So I think I have now caught up on developing any outstanding #B&W film … and I still have about 800ml of #HC110 left. There's a lone re-roll of #200T that someone gave me shot donkeys years ago that is haunting my guilt ridden soul 🫣🎞️ - never having done #C41, I suspect #ECN-2 is beyond me.

Very low res scans (5mp Maginon negative scanner), but do we think the actual development of the negatives is OK?(HC110 1+31), I'm just concerned as the HC110 has been open for around four years... just seeking reassurance I can carry on using the HC110 for the rest of my undeveloped B&W films... 🤔

I've rolled some Fomapan 400 onto the 127 Verichrome backing paper that came with this cute Kodak Baby Brownie and will give it a try soon. Yes, I realise now that ASA 400 is likely way too fast for the basic shutter speed, but let's trust to luck, eh🫣

Showing just how out of the loop I am, can someone kindly identify this 400 ASA 120 film for me? Fomapan? Ilford? Time to get round to developing it (after 2+ years 🫣🤭

A couple of images from the #shittycamerachallenge organised by @getymk.com (when the sky was clear and the sun shone ☀️)

Persistence pays off 🤔? Test run Fomapan 100, Kodak HC110 1+31 Might have underdeveloped But there are negatives 👍🏽
