Update
Day 40 dubblefilm DAILY black & white 400
A very gloomy day following lots of rain and a walk round the Matley Wood area. Black and white film just felt perfect for the mood.
Day 39 Kodak Gold 200
As soon as the cool kids realise Kodak Gold is better than Portra that’ll be it, the price will rocket. So for now I’m going to max it out…
Day 38 Kodak Gold 200
Late afternoon doggo walk featuring a snippet of golden hour
Day 37 Kodak Gold 200
Now you are probably wondering what’s the deal with the slightly cross processed vibes…
Day 36 AGFA Optima 200 Professional (expired 1995)
This roll of AGFA Optima 200 Professional expired 19 years ago and goodness knows how it’s been stored.
Day 35 Rollei RPX 400
I’ve learnt so far this year, during shooting a roll of film a day, that it’s ok to just randomly shoot a roll of film with no expectations. It’s involved me having to rethink how I take photos and it’s led to some unexpected nice surprises along the way.
Day 34 Ilford HP5 Plus
There’s a footpath that I love in the Exbury area. One that’s shrouded by green boughs and hedgerows in Spring, with bluebells galore. A lesser known spot that only a handful of locals use.
Day 33 York Photo Labs DXG 200 (expired 1989)
This roll of York Photo Labs DXG 200 35mm film expired 35 years ago and goodness knows how it’s been stored…
Day 32 Lomography Potsdam 100
I’ve shot so much 35mm recently and whilst I love it I needed a break from alllll the scanning in, so switched to 120 film today and my trusty Lubitel 2.
Day 31 RETO Amber D100
As the sun was out I took a punt and loaded up the Canon EOS 3 with a roll of new-to-me film, RETO Amber D100.
Day 30 Polaroid Color Frames
We made the long drive to Gloucester today for a family meal to say goodbye to my eldest son, Tom, who is moving to Poland in the coming weeks.
Day 29 Kodak Gold 200
A gentle Sunday morning stroll down to Bucklers Hard from Beaulieu village with the plastic but fun Ektar half frame camera. Boy oh boy it’s hard work shooting 72 frames!
Day 28 Kodak Portra 160
Fog. Thick fog. Hmm Plan B, an impromptu stroll along part of Lymington’s Sea Wall, accpanied by the Isle of Wight ferry fog-horning past in the murk and the creepy tinkle of bits of yachts and boats in the breeze.
Day 27 Expired (1999) Ilford XP1 400
There I was all ready to develop it it when I spotted at the very last minute that although it’s a black and white film stock, it’s also C-41 developing process. Mind f*ck 🤪
Day 26 Polaroid High definition 100 ISO
Polaroid High definition 100 ISO. This film - where to start. Bought a couple of years ago in a job lot on eBay, it’s been sat on my shelf since. It’s expired (obviously) and from what I can gather form online searches it dates form the early 2000s.
Day 25 Lomochrome Metropolis
Down to Lepe once again on a overcast and slightly drizzly morning, this time with a roll of Metropolis
Day 24 Fujifilm Fujicolor 200
Back with the Leica MDa and zone focusing!
Day 23: Ilford Delta 400
As we turned to walk back we felt the force of the wind and drizzle. Incredibly refreshing and perfect for what had been, up to that moment, a pretty stressful day.
Day 22 Fujifilm Fujicolor 200
I left the Shire and headed into the city today with Kitty. I’m a bit apprehensive about shooting around a lot of people so I opted for the dinky Rollei 35T which is so small and inoffensive, mobile phones are bigger.
