Time for an update: I still use film, though. Not vast quantities, but I have a darkroom, and I'm not afraid to use it.

I enjoy every image I take: I hope you'll enjoy looking at them.

Goodbye to all that?

I’m not sure how many blogs I have written since the start of the pandemic, but I suspect at around 400. And looking for signs that normality might be returning, I’m particularly pleased that I shall be writing full-size articles for EPZ again. You can see the first one HERE.

So my output of blogs will be reducing, though as I’ve promised a few people, I will be continuing to write them from time to time. As I’ve said more or less from the start, I welcome ideas that people would like explored in this format. After my initial run through of the photographic alphabet, it’s often been a struggle to find something to write about. But a morning walk has often inspired me.

That’s all for today, but there will be more blogs to come!

Porcelain processing

People commented on the look in my last post and it seems like a good idea to share the secrets for Christmas. I learned the technique several years ago: a model’s boyfriend told me about it, and a website that described it in detail: I tried it, l...

You develop your own films don’t you?

If you have your own darkroom, or if you use film cameras regularly, there are always a few people who mention the attic. As in ‘Grandpa’s cameras are in the attic. I don’t even know if they have film in them!’ This leads me to ask if I can have a l...

Choose your pond

There’s an old saying about being a big fish and a little pond. Do you want to be the most important person in a small organisation, or are you content being a relatively small cog in a big machine? It’s the same in photography. With relatively mo...

Graduated filters

This is for Hannah, and anyone else who has come across the casual way that a lot of togs talk about one or two types of filter that landscaper photographers use a lot: graduated filters and neutral density filters. A graduated filter is one that i...

And let's all hope other forms of normality will return before too long. Take care out there!
