The photos from these rolls have been much higher quality than I expected. I have tried to separate the images into themes and subjects but think that it has been beneficial for me to not focus on this whilst shooting. I hope that in a years time, all the black and white images I haveContinue reading “3 More Rolls in October”

After receiving back three more rolls of the Fomapan 400, I’m still happy with the results. I haven’t spent as much time editing this time, mostly using auto levels to find the blacks and highlights.

The following shots were taken over the last month or so using Fomapan 400 shot at 250 iso. The film is much cheaper than Ilford and works out at about £4 per roll.

I brought my camera with one roll of film and she took a sketchpad and oil pastels. I didn’t have exactly the tools I wanted, the film was a lowerContinue reading “Instagram and Staying Productive”

After looking through the images from the last few months I have collated my favourites and begun storing them online in full resolution. This way I can at some point either print them in silver via Ilford’s printing services or create a photobook when the time comes. I will still continue to log my imagesContinue reading “Collating Images”
