Character Portraits
There’s a bit of character in this young man’s face, don’t you think? He visited our studio today for some quality time with his dad, and they have great images to prove it!
Mini Camping Adventures?
I offered to borrow one of these for a holiday. Lovely location too. Janette didn’t seem too interested. #mini. Image captured on the vintage Nikon FG20 on Kodak black & white film.
Man’s Best Friend
It’s often been said that a dog is a man’s best friend. This studio portrait made today certainly proves the point.

Eabha’s Preview
Here’s Baby Eabha. (Sounds like Aava) If there’s one thing that really pleases a photographer, it’s when a customer comes back for more. Eabha was in the studio a year ago for a baby session, and now she’s back with her mum and dad for another great visit. Here’s one of her photos…
Ilfosol 3 Developing Fluid
It’s a cog wheel. It’s on that big crane thingy on the pier at Donaghadee. What’s special about it?
It was captured on a manual Nikon FG20 on Ilford FP4 ISO 125 film. I found an old bottle of Ilfosol 3 Developer in the garage and decided to try it out. This developer is noted for its fine grain. The bottle was still unopened and even though it must be about four years old the liquid was still clear. I developed the film for 7 minutes. The guideline was 4.25 minutes, but I didn’t trust it! Especially when it said that dev times of less than 5 mins could give patchy results. So 7 mins it was and the negs are lovely. Good contrast, low grain.
Here’s a few other examples…
Buffet Lunch is served at Carn Industrial Estate, Craigavon.
Donaghadee Lighthouse. How often has this been photographed? This shot on Ilford FP4 in the Nikon FG20. f/16 @ 1/125sec on ISO125.
Signs of the Times. The vehicle technology of the future – electric charging points in a car park.
Throwing stones into the sea at Bangor Co. Down has been a youthful pleasure from time immortal. Being filmed doing it by a friend with a phone is a relatively new part of the experience
