Scanning colour negatives have been a thorn in my side for a number of years.

Tinkerman

From My Lens July 31, 2019

I originally shifted to film photography a couple of years ago, as I got bored, no, more frustrated by the constant tinkering with editing photos in lightroom.

A couple of #LargeFormat #4x5 images taken at Camber Sands Beach, at the beginning of the year.

This was supposed to be the start of a new project, that I have had to defer. It's gone a little mental at work and also the house renovation
Brighton Beach, March 2025.

Developed a couple of rolls of #Kodakgold200 with @takeiteasylab

Turned out great, bearing in mind they expired 18mths ago.

Saturday people. 

Not had much luck with the film camera collection, moving house, dinks and dents aplenty.

A little good news, was a hack I discovered for the faulty winder on my #Minoltax500. I love this camera, especially the 28mm #ro
Another frame from the recent #ilfordxp2 that I put through the #yashicamat124g. 

I love this film.  Have 8 x rolls incoming today, ready for the weekend. 

#6x6 #TLR
Decided to dust down the #yashicamat124g #TLR today. I normally get my film off the web, so paying £11.50 for a roll of #ilfordxp2 was a tad steep.

Love this film as I do the 124g.
Headed up to the dunes of Camber Beach at the weekend, as I'm thinking of starting a new photo project.
