A canal in Amsterdam, seen with my Zero Image 6x9 MF loaded with Kodak Portra 400.

I thought I had resolved the little bit of film curl in my Zero 69MF...this shot suggests otherwise (unless the building on the right is built really, really badly!).

Our neighbour's incredible cherry tree...I shall be stealing the fruit (if I can get to it before the starlings). Happy Tree Tuesday...with a little bit of flare.

Zero Leaks

...well, at least not in the bathroom of our wonderful Riad in Marrakech (Riad le Clos des Arts). Yet another accidental shutter opening led to the light leaks, the rest of the image is me, taking a shower.

Silbury Scratched

Another scratched negative from my trip to Wiltshire. This is Silbury Hill, as seen en-route from Avebury. This was shot with a Bronica SQ-Ai on Rollei Retro 80S. Film was developed in Exactol Lux and then scratched whilst squeegeeing :-(.

Ultimate tree

My favourite tree in Norwich, in the churchyard of St Peter Mancroft. I have yet to do justice to the way this tree captures the light, the luminosity is amazing. Until I get it right, this will have to do!

Well, I assume this is a cantilever bridge, although I am happy to be corrected by a bridge geek (I must have at least one in my contacts).

The advantages of a late spring

My entry for WPPD 2013, shot along the riverside in Norwich, by the Bishop's Bridge. I'd not normally be hopeful of shooting daffodils on WPPD but this year it was possible as we had a longer winter than usual meaning spring arrived late. This was made on expired Kodak Portra 100T tungsten balanced film.

Another boring Catherine Wheel shot, made in my mother's garden. This will be my last post for a few days as I am off on my travels again.

Poles Apart

The Old Penfold posted a photo:

I don't know where to start with all the technical errors in this shot. Focus is out, negative scratched, fingerprint, dust.

All of these things being considered I really like this shot, the misty atmosphere, the errors. I'm going to nail my colours to the post, this is one of my favourite shots that I've made over the last few months. HFF folks!

Shot with a Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 80mm on Rollei Retro 80S. Developed with Exactol Lux.

The de-rigeur mode of transport in Amsterdam, even in winter (hence no leaves on the tree Tuesday tree).

My favourite shot from my first collaborative roll with the remarkable Jana Obscura. First shots were exposed in Seattle, the roll was then mailed to me in the UK. I shot Stonehenge with an 8Banners Graphite Dragon 6x18 pinhole camera (curved film plane).

Again...a shutter opening when it shouldn't, leading to abstract results.

Weir'd x Seattle

The Old Penfold posted a photo:

Another collaboration with Jana Obscura, an awesome pinholista from Seattle. In this case the shot is dominated by a weir in Costessey, near Norwich, and I don't see much of Seattle.

The weir was shot with an 8Banners Graphite Dragon 6x18 pinhole camera (curved film plane). Jana shot with a Zero 69MF and a lot of style!

I spent much of the time in Amsterdam looking for a boathouse and (Pretty Belinda)...to no avail. This is one of the shots I made on the way. Zero Image 6x9 MF loaded with Kodak Portra 400.

Salisbury x Seattle

Another collaboration with the remarkable Jana Obscura. My exposure, made with an 8Banners Graphite Dragon 6x18 pinhole camera (curved film plane), was shot in Salisbury, by the Cathedral. You can see the lawn and some of the cathedral itself. It looks like Jana was in the woods.

Seatlle and the Stones

The first image from an excellent Pinhole Film Swap with the utterly awesome Jana Obscura (check her shots out, she rules!). First shots were made in Seattle (in a Zero Image 69MF I believe) and the roll was then mailed to me. I then shot with an 8Banners Graphite Dragon 6x18 pinhole camera (curved film plane). In this case my shot was at Stonehenge...which should be recognisable.

Oh, and this is the first roll of film I have scanned with my new, shiny and superb Epson V700...I like!

If you want to participate in a Pinhole Film Swap then head over to our group, we'd be delighted to collaborate.
