lisbon oriente / kodak tmax p3200

I had this roll of Kodak Tmax P3200 sitting in my fridge for absolute ages. So long that I couldn’t remember quite when or why I bought it. It’s not like I have much opportunity for night photography. Eventually I loaded it in my dad’s old Chinon and lugged the brick of a camera with me to Lisbon back in January. My hotel was just around the corner from Oriente station, so it was easy to go for a walk there at night and not have to carry the heavy camera around for too long.

I shot the rest of the film in varying light conditions, including on the London Underground and at an evening reception for a wedding (fair enough results), as well as in broad daylight with sunny conditions (high grain and pretty low contrast as expected). I’m most pleased with the shots below. So much so, that I almost don’t want to share them. Very me of me. 🙂

Some results from my favourite film I shot in 2022.

This was my first time trying Cinestill 50D; one of the pricier films out there. I was wondering how it would do in the mostly cloudy weather I was shooting it in, but it really impressed me. These were all shot in Yorkshire using my Konica C35. Not much more to say.

Results from recent experimenting with a new toy cam I acquired recently. Very basic plastic camera called “split cam”. I bought mine at the Photographer’s Gallery in London for £7, but I’ve seen them go for as much as £30 on “gifts” sites. Don’t be a dummy and pay £30. I was too impatient to fill a whole roll before developing. I’m pretty pleased with the initial results. Let me know what you guys think. Do more?

Konica C35: Berlin (pt 1)

I’ve just returned from my 5th (I think?) visit to Berlin over the last few years, and again I have loved spending time in this cool city. It was overcast and raining / misting most of the time, so I wasn’t expecting much from the pictures I took, but I’m pretty damn happy with some of these. Forget photographing momuments, this is the city. Film used: my go to Kodak Gold 400ASA. The featured images is the view from the steps coming out of Eberswalder str U-bahn station in Prenzlauer Berg.

Few shots in Freidrichschain, between Warschauer str and the East Side Gallery / Oberbaum bridge:

Harrow Camera: Ilford HP5 Plus 400

In my gear talk post, I mentioned a bakelite shell camera similar to Lomo Diana I’ve been using for a while now.Because the seal on these aren’t great, you often get light leaks, which in some cases adds a nice touch, but in other cases can ruin your pictures. It’s been hit and miss with this camera. I’ve tried a few kinds of film, all of which seem to require very bright light conditions to achieve good results with this camera, no matter if the film in question is described as suitable for low light conditions. In this post I’m sharing some of the results I’ve achieved with Ilford’s HP5 Plus 400 (120 mm). These images were taken in Spain, Italy, South Africa, Berlin and London.

Konica C35: Film 1

After a few years of playing around with bakelite shell lomography cameras, I decided this year that I wanted to invest in a somewhat sturdier 35mm camera. I wanted something compact, with a range of focal lengths / aperatures. When I started shopping around, I was originally looking at an Olympus Trip 35. Purely because I liked the look of it to be honest! Yeah, bit of guilty hipstering maybe. After watching a few video reviews online, I eventually settled on the Konica C35 though (Japanese made, dating from the early 1970s, and still cool-looking). It was refurbished by the seller, and looked in good condition on first inspection, though was somewhat heavier than I expected it to be. These are a few of the best shots I achieved with the first film I tried in it; 400 ASA Kodak Gold. I felt this camera and I could be friends after seeing these. All of these images are from a trip to Klaipeda and Juodkrante in Lithuania in September 2016.
