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.
Fotography is Phun!!!
Photography is FUN! Time and again people tell me how much they’ve enjoyed their studio experience. It’s great fun, as young Aarya and Priya found out when they came for a family Photoshoot this afternoon.
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.
Sisters ….
Two lovely sisters, Marie-Therese and Brona, who brought their mum for a special Photoshoot at our Dundonald studio.
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…

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

More iPhone iMages
A visit to Newcastle on a wild, wet, windy Tuesday, and an opportunity to capture some images with the iPhone. I was fascinated with the tumult of the sea at the mouth of the Shimna River, so I opened the ‘Hueless App’ and quick iPhone snap or two later…
Go on, use your iPhone camera, and record life as it happens.
Waterwheel in Monochrome (#Nikon #BlackandWhite)
A visit to the cafe at Dundonald Old Mill is an opportunity to make an image of the historic mill waterwheel at the building. I photographed it from several angles, using the Nikon F100, and a role of Ilford Delta ISO100. Here’s one of the resulting images…
