35mm is a gateway drug

From My Lens December 15, 2021

Its been nearly 6 years since the film bug bit me.

Originally I was recommended to get into film, to stop at the time, the incessant tinkering with my digital images (read polishing a turd) and concentrate of the process of taking a photo.

I must say, its one of the best pieces of advice I have received.

Not to put it lightly, the learning curve for film, getting your head around using manual controls, the exposure triangle, developing and scanning film at home, is a steep one. But thoroughly enjoyable, nonetheless.

Margate in March.

Off season. Dreamland's sign tells you so, in case the empty streets hadn't already.

There's something about this town that film suits better than digital — the slight shift in colour, the way the grain holds the cold light

Whilst I have been enjoying shooting digital (see here on my other channel @_from_my_lens_digital_ ) it's great to be shooting and developing

Well, the large format gear has long been sold.

Here's a selection of images taken in Dungeness. Just love this place.  I miss the large format gear, but it was just a little too much of a faff setting up and taking shots
