Sometimes a test is best

fishyfisharcade10 Comments

This shot was one from a short roll of Fomapan 400 that I bulk-rolled to test that my camera wasn’t faulty – the previous roll had revealed a piece of fluff on every frame which I needed to painstakingly clone out of every shot! Thankfully the offending fiber must have been dislodged when I took the roll out of the camera, and this test roll showed no sign of it.

But, despite just going for a quick walk to fire off a few test shots, I managed to get several I really like, including this lovely picture of an elderly couple walking down the Trans Pennine Trail.

I think it pays to shoot with a sense of purpose, even when running a test.

St. Winifred’s church, Holbeck

fishyfisharcadeLeave a comment

St. Winifred’s church in Holbeck, Nottinghamshire, a former private chapel build for the 6th Duke of Portland between 1913 – 1916.

Holbeck sits within an area of Nottinghamshire known as The Dukeries, because at one point there were four ducal seats, one of which – Welback Abbey – was home to the Dukes of Portland, who still maintain ownership of the estate along with the Dukes of Newcastle.

It’s a significant estate and much of it is private, although there are public rights of way allowing visitors to explore the area. I have more photos to come at a later date where I did just that.

After the last few days of B&W images shot with my Yashica Mat 124G, I’m moving over to a splash of colour. These we taken on the same outing as the B&W photos.

Sometimes I have to spend some time tinkering with the colours when converting C41 films in Negative Lab Pro (yes, Kodak Gold, I’m mostly talking about you), but others often look great straight off the bat, like these vibrant Lomo CN 400 images that I’m going to share in the coming days.
