Taking the plunge
I'd had this roll of Ilford HP4 for a good few months and was hesitant to put it through a camera. The fact that it was so pristine in it's condition made me feel that whatever I used it for had to be significant. I had to wait for the right opportunity.
As the weeks passed, I began putting unnecessary pressure on myself to plan a shoot around this one film. It was sitting on a shelf, judging me. At this point I decided to stop procrastinating and just shoot the roll, regardless of w...

#ilfordfridayfavourites #lucky
Now & again the perfect image is arrived at by good luck rather than good judgement.
Right place, right time? Double exposure? Film accidentally shot at the wrong speed? These are the shots that we asked you to share for this week's #ilfordfridayfavourites #lucky theme.
@mparry1234 Some very strange but pretty interesting flare anomaly on some 120 FP4+ works well with the shot i think

One of the simplest forms of photography, there's lots of fun to be had with a #pinhole camera and some film or photographic paper.
These are our #ilfordfridayfavourites this week

Project Statement
Since the 1950s, over half of traditional orchards in England have disappeared. This is due to development, conversion of land to other uses, and intensive farming. The Orchard Project is dedicated solely to the creation, restoration and celebration of community orchards. Working in collaboration with the national charity, I visited sites under restoration. I created pinhole cameras out of apples at each location.
Utilising these site-specific cameras, the work captures team members, v...

Window Cleaners shot on ILFORD XP2S
An unknown language
When I started in photography I was always put off from film, by the balance (in my mind anyway), between the effort and time taken out of my workflow in developing, and the rolling cost. As well as my dependence and already intimate comprehension of digital systems. Film was an unknown language, and not one I was prepared to learn at the time.
Expanding my understanding
Recently however I have been looking for different ways to expand my und...
DELTA Professional films
What a fantastic week for black and white film images. Thank you for sharing all of your shots on #Deltafilm with us.
DELTA PROFESSIONAL films use the latest Core-Shell™ film emulsion technology which give them the advantage of a lower grain to speed ratio. This means that you get less grain at the equivalent speed when compared to PLUS films presenting a slightly cleaner, sharper look. We've really enjoyed choosing our favourites this week.
