Who's going to the Photography & Video Show down in London next weekend (on between 8th and 11th of March)? #BelieveInFilm #ShootfilmBeNice

The old station waiting room, now a visitor centre with model railway in Clare country park (Clare, Suffolk). Ilford HP5 in a Zorki 1 range finder (with a little hole in the shutter curtain). Printed on Ilford MGRC Pearl 5x7 at Darkroom37 in Colchester. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Took my first new member through their community darkroom induction today. Turned into more of a workshop, refreshing them on how to load a film into a tank, develop it and then make a simple darkroom print using an enlarger. A lot of information to fit into a relatively short amount of time.

What better way to while away a dull and chilly winter day (in the darkroom). This was taken on a trip down to Brighton with the OnlyFilms lot. 📷 Hasselblad 503cxi + Carl Zeiss f2.8 80mm Planar + extension tubes (can't remember which one) 🎞️ Kodak Tri-x 400 📄 Ilford MGRC Pearl #BelieveInFilm

The Metro is finally catching up, @givemeabiscuit.bsky.social 😂

Looking for 10 amber glass bottles like this one for the community darkrooom. Does anyone have any or have a trusted supplier? UK only. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

I did a contact print of another one of the glass plate negatives I bought the other week. I used Google Lens to find out that it's of Aberystwyth. Again, no idea of the photographer or when it was taken. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Blimey, I'm in the top spot for something! 😂 I was the user with the highest number of attended photowalk on the wonderful Photowalk.me platform. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Some darkroom contact prints from some glass plates I bought at an antiques fair recently. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Alex Purcell (previously known as Grainyblur on Twitter) has made his way over to Bluesky. Welcome @apurcell.bsky.social #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Everyone please welcome the wonderful large format photographer @sarahstellinophoto.bsky.social to Bluesky. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice #FilmPhotography #LargeFormatPhotography

Had myself a few hours in the community darkroom today. @ilfordphoto.com FP4 Plus printed on Ilford MGRC Pearl and Satin 5x7. Durst M605 and Bromophen developer. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Cracking service from Morco as ever. Placed an order for some Ilford darkroom paper on Friday and it arrived today. Impressive this time of year! www.morco.uk.com #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Question for the darkroom printers. Who has tried @ilfordphoto.com MGRC Satin paper? I'm just about to stock up on some paper. My go to is usually pearl, but I'm tempted to get some satin too, with it looking slightly more matt. Thoughts? #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

First session back in community darkroom for just over a month this afternoon. Stumbled across this negative taken on my Rolleiflex coming up for 2 years ago of a weaver at an open studios event in Sudbury Suffolk. @ilfordphoto.com MGRC Pearl paper. 7in square image #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

I missed 2 Brightscreens on the West Yorkshire Cameras sale, so I went and ordered a brand new one direct from the manufacturer in Ohio, USA. Only took about 4/5 days. Looks really good. Will go out and shoot with it soon. Comes with spacers, so no other calibration needed. #BelieveInFilm
