I'm a great tea drinker, can't stand the smell or taste of coffee, so last night when I was having a cuppa an a smoke I thought I'd get a few quick shots with my 1Ds and 40mm 'pancake' to see what sort of bokeh it produces, if it was no good then I haven't lost anything as my Helios 44-2...

For a long time I've had a hankering to get me a 16mm cine camera, I missed out on a Bolex H16 EBM it was being sold as 'for parts or not working' by 2 quid it sold for £92, only because I didn't have the balls and the adrenaline rush was to much. So today whilst perusing eBay I came across a...

Whilst perusing you-tube tonight for 'DIY Telecine' videos I came across one guy '(super) 8mm' who had done a very good job with his own equipment. Wanting to find out more on how he did it I went to his G+ page, still looking for how he converted his gear and captured the film, scrolling down...

Last year I'd read with interest @Pete Askew 's write up of his D.I.Y large format camera project and it peaked my interest. And tonight I have successfully processed my first couple of sheets of 5x4 FP4+, nerve's were jangled when I thought I had filled my tank with the fixer first, panic...

Not much movement in the IR spectrum for me at the moment, so I thought I would try my hand in the garden. Every year my neighbour' rose bush puts on more of a show on my side of the fence than her's, when it's in full bloom there are a lot more petals on show ( I'm not a gardener, so no tech...

Here go's on my first post. Had the day off today annual gas safety check for the boiler, and was kicking my heels wanting something to-do this after noon rather than sit down in front of the TV, which is oh so easy to do these days, I went out to a place over looking the Thames valley and...

The names Richard, I'll answer to most things. I mainly shoot digital but have recently gotten back into film, I just need to get out and about. My main interests after modifying one of my Eos 450d's is IR photography, and I'm starting to get some fairly reasonable results in post processing. I...
