Reversal processed some @ilfordphoto.com FP4+ in 4x5 to practice the process ready to do the same for the large format photos taken at my wedding! I will not be taking the photos, I'll be a little busy, but I will be developing the slides afterwards! #photography #largeformat #filmphotography

An image of a 4x5 black and white slide of a woman with longer hair wearing a Sweet (the band) tshirt in front of a brick wall.

The slide is placed on top of an LED light panel in order to view the image.

Because transphobia is justified by, and in turn justifies, misogyny and racism and unequal access to healthcare. So you cannot do one while truly disavowing the others. You can’t be progressive in most ways but not one, because they are all linked.

More aerochrome, as I batch processed a lot recently This is the walk into Staithes in North Yorkshire #photography #aerochrome #infraredphotography

A photo of a couple on a bridge over a tidal estuary. The red roof tiles on the houses are yellow and the foliage is red due to being shot in false colour infrared.

It's been a long long time since I've done any serious posting, but my love for aerochrome is no less. I'm really happy with these photos. #infraredphotography #photography #aerochrome

Reeds sticking up out of a pond. The leaves are reflected in the water. The foliage is bright red due to the photograph being taken in digital infrared to emulate aerochrome film. The water is inky black.

An abandoned car with plants growing up over the front bumper and up towards the headlight. The foliage is red due to being taken in digital infrared to emulate aerochrome film.

Fronds of conifer tree are growing out over a path that leads up into the distance. The weather is very foggy and condensed water droplets are hanging off of the needles of the tree. The foliage is red due to being shot in digital infrared.

Warning: as soon as this user gets their film developed and photo edits done, they will become an insufferable eclipse poster Went on a roadtrip with fellow camera nerds to a small Spanish village. Life changing. I don't and won't have the words to describe the feeling of totality. #photography

My friend's camera pointed at the sun waiting for the eclipse.

The rear screen is missing and is replaced with a sticker that says "shut the fuck up"

The totality of the eclipse shot on my camera handheld before I put it down to experience the moment.

A prominence on the sun is visible as a pink spot on the left

The last moment before totality, taken with shaky hands so a ghostly ring of fire is on show due to motion blur
