For some years, I have been visiting Central Asia. The region with its unique culture and people is always interesting to me.
In spring 2018 I went to Kandahar, Afghanistan and from there to Mazar-i-Sharif and continued to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. During the trip, I got sick and it was not very enjoyable. In autumn 2018 I decided to go again and was excited to do it without sickness.

I don’t know about you, but I have a “box of shame”. It’s where I keep all the photographic odds and ends of kit that I never use, but can’t bring myself to throw away. Well I’ve always felt it would come in handy one day, and it seems that day has come! This story really gets going when I decided I wanted to do something fun with my Konica Pop*, an 80’s classic point and click camera I picked up in a charity shop a few years ago.

Turning your negatives into positives
Reversal processing enables black and white transparencies to be produced directly from high quality films such as PAN F Plus, FP4 Plus and DELTA 100 PROFESSIONAL
How it works
It starts with the development of the negative image. This leaves the unused silver halide untouched, but it is not fixed, as it will be used later to form the positive image. After the negative image has been developed, it is totally bleached away using an acid bleach. This leaves the remainin...
Below are some of the common errors that can occur when processing black and white films. Unfortunately some of these errors can result in the images being lost or partially ruined. By knowing what has caused the errors, you may hopefully prevent any repeat incidents.
Film entirely blank - No visible images or edge signing
A completely blank film with no images and no signing (i.e text in the perforation areas showing product and numbers) - indicates the film has received no development at all.

A double set of images for us to go through this week as we ran this #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme of #favouritefilm for an extra week. We love it when their are a variety of images to choose from, it's always exciting to see what people are shooting with our products.

Wow! What a huge selection of images for this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites #ilfordpanf theme. We've had a great time this morning going though them all and discussing (arguing?) over our favourites.

In the midst of ever more sophisticated technology we live with the illusion of saving time by doing things with more speed, and increasingly relying on computers: programmes work out difficult problems, they plan for us, think for us. Files, servers and systems store information for us, including photographs - hundreds of millions of photographs.

It's been a while since we had a new #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites as we've been on holiday. We hope that you all had a great summer too and managed to shoot plenty of film. For this week we asked you to share your shots on #ilfordxp2 film and these are our favourites.

Making the Most of Life Around Me
I don’t really remember a period of my life when I wasn’t making photographs. My mother got me my first point and shoot camera when I was about five. It was an ‘Action Man Spy Camera’ that took small 110 roll film. I loved the idea of blending in with a camera, trying to document what was going on around me without actually disturbing anything. I still love that.
