The first part of our trip to Bishop Auckland and the historycan be found HERE. As well as the fuji I had my Canon EOS 1000FN loaded with some kodak portra so shot a few frames around the castle and town. Below the windows of the castle just before the entrance there are coats of … More Bishop Auckland on film, February 2020
Regular readers may remember from a previous post about All Saints church in Newcastle, that a medieval font was rescued from being destroyed by the marauding, pesky Scots, and ended up in St.Wilfreds Church up in Kirkharle. Sophie and decided to hunt it down on a mixed weather day on our last outing for 2019. … More St Wilfred’s Church & Kirkharle ~ Dec 2019
A little break from my film photography this week, but I have again been digging through old albums and photo’s that I boxed up when Mum died, and I came across one that she started just after I was born, through to when I was 10 years old. It was cool to look through my … More Film Friday
We are still on the sea front at South Shields, and as always, I have to photograph the Weebles when I go there. 🙂 I’m quite impressed with the Canon’s close up facility. I think this is my favourite weeble I saw a seagull having a barney with a crow there’s the beginning verse on … More Film Friday
I’ve had a couple of scares with the Rollei SL35, twice the film jammed after 20 frames, and on the last outing I got strange effects on some of the shots. As I’m doing a year of film I needed a back up SLR so managed to purchase a Canon EOS 1000F N for £19.99 … More Film Friday
Still with the Rollei SL35 and the roll of Silberra 400, these are the shots I took with it at South Shields. Strangely none of these ones had alien light leaks. But this one had a lot of hairs on it! This one did better I can never resist photographing the Weebles And that’s the … More Film Friday
Last week I posted my B&W shots in Newcastle, so this week I’m going back over the bridge to Gateshead. Same roll of film, and more wierd bits. This next one I took in an underpass, but I have no idea what happened to it. I quite like it, looks like aliens are about to … More Film Friday
I’ve got a couple of rolls developed now, so a few Fridays taken care of! Haven’t been out shooting though as the weather has been abysmal here. A couple of weeks ago I took the Rollei SL35 out to Newcastle and discovered that although the film seemed to be winding on, the counter wasn’t moving … More Film Friday
In November 2019 we travelled down to the Cotswolds, to a town called Burford, where Phil’s sister’s son Aaron was getting married to his girl Rachel. We stayed at the Bay Tree Hotel. The wedding was held there too so not far to walk to the wedding 🙂 It rained most of the time that … More Film Friday
I now have 2 rolls of kodak portra 400 developed. One was in my Minolta Riva Mini, and the other in my Olympus XA. The roll in the XA had been in it for over a year whilst I was busy with my 2019 385, though now and again I took it with me on … More Film Friday
Here at Fraggle Towers, the year of shooting film has begun. I’ve yet to start with the Rollei, am saving that for outings with Sophie, but in the meantime, I’m going to be doing a daily instant with the Lomo Instant wide, using fujifilm Instax wide film. I’ve missed a couple of days as I … More The year of film on Fridays.
The Minolta Riva Mini has fast become my go-to film camera, especially when I’m out with the Fuji as my main tool of the day. The little Riva fits in my pocket, has no settings to apply, just point and shoot and hope for the best. Loading and winding the film is automatic, so on … More Newcastle Upon Tyne Sept 2019
