Fairly but hopefully forgiveably underexposed frame of Velvia. Shot in Iceland in January, not long after the sun had slipped behind the mountain. Snæfellsnes peninsula. Canon AE1, Sigma 21-35mm II.

I am shooting black and white reversal film now, too. Enjoying the high contrast and clarity. Even on 35mm, which I don't otherwise use very much! Both shots taken on a Sigma 21-35mm - Canon AE-1P. Developed by @apertureprinting.bsky.social.

I've been intending to shoot most of my serious work on slide film for a lot of different reasons; oddly enough projecting them wasn't on my radar! Saw a medium format project on eBay for £30 and had to go for it. This is the way, forget scanning :). #analogphotography #ektachrome #mediumformat

I took a closeup shot of this tupilaq on 4x5. It's actually marginally taller on the negative than in real life! Obviously needed to photograph the two together; it looks like it's being haunted, poetic really for a little monster carving. :)

Started my large format journey by accidentally exposing a whole box of film. Turns out they are very much -not- individually wrapped. You'd think the black plastic wrapping inside would have been a giveaway but no

Played around with moderate lighting yesterday, neither blizzard white or my usual chiaroscuro. Painted my own backdrop, too! In retrospect I should have put a fill card on the left side of the daffodils but overall nice for an ~hour of tinkering. #stilllife #fujifilm #amateurphotography

Film scanning at home - losing track of which iteration I'm at. But seeing progress! This one uses a speedlight diffused through an AC attachment. Strongly recommend using slide film when setting up your rig. So much easier to focus. #dslrscanning #e100 #amateurphotography #filmisnotdead

Didn't expect but am fully savouring the dieselpunk aesthetic of my film scanning rig. Reminded me of this 6x4.5 shot I took of a railway bridge in London My scifi-Maurice Bloom-industrial sublime era. #filmphotography #industrial #believeinfilm #dslrscanning #mediumformat #vintage

On the topic of macro-photography! With all this neewly acquired kit I feel fairly obliged to start taking some macro shots. So strange how the same images can be so crisp and look like whispy watercolours all at once. Stark and dreamy. #macro #macrophotography #flowers #abstractphotography

4th iteration of my DIY film scanning setup! Got an enlarger stand on eBay for a pittance and succeeded in adapting it to mount my camera. Next up: A tiny lab jack to move the stacked negative and LED into frame in little increments, and hopefully into focus. #filmphotography #35mm #macro

London, South Bank, November last year. Kodak Gold 200 Canon AE1-P FD 28mm f2.8 lens Accidentally underexposed by a stop since I didn't account for a polarising filter. Still like it though. #filmisnotdead #canonFD #kodakgold #london #photographers #amateurphotography

Third DSLR scanning attempt! Getting better, able to improve focus a lot by moving to a setup where the base and camera were locked into a 90° angle. Used playing cards as shims to adjust focus. Also incorporated more spirit levels. #filmisnotdead #amateurphotographers #canonFD #mirrorless #35mm

So trying to scan film at home is an absolute pain. Keeping the film and camera exactly level is the worst part, before we even get into the <1mm depth of field. Lens is still good but yikes #macrophotography #dslrscanning #filmscanning #filmisnotdead #amateurphotographers

Erik Winther Paisley (📷) @ewpaisley.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Self-developed and scanned! Stiching the RAW from the X-H1 together since I am having trouble fitting the whole negative in 1:1 macro. Outputs are 5700x9000! Main issue right now is getting focus right. Using spirit levels etc. but I must be off by a few mm's. #pixllatr #filmisnotdead

Erik Winther Paisley (📷) @ewpaisley.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Might be a bit until my home camer scan matches the lab but we will get there one day. Focus is a nightmare at these working distances! Also might need better software to convert the negative. Kit: Vivitar 55mm f2.8 macro + X-H1, Pixl-Latr holder. #filmisnotdead #amateurphotography #mirrorless

Not sure what to call htis -- celeriac with a side of grapes silver? Either way, the fruit of my efforts at flash photography. Wanted something organic with lots of texture to use as a test subject, besides my trusty gnome. #stilllife #baroque #foodphotography #amateurphotographers #fujifilm

Been trying to master the art of hair lights, assisted by my lovely gnome assistant. And more generally flash photograpy. Using a Godox TT350 (and a TT685 as a key light) after I saw a bunch of recommendations for these two flashes for beginners. #photographers #lighting

By the Bank of England. Reuploading since the compression was a bit off (?). Had a lot of fun watching the crowds move by in levels :). Taken on my 16mm f1.4, Fujinon ISO is like 5000 so that I could stop down for enough to get decent focus across the frame. #streetphotography #London

Pheasants with flowers. Another still life, this one from 2022. Made around the same time as my Royal Photographic Society course. My boyfriend helped light them; several guests came over in the evening to help eat them. #stilllifephotography #stilllife #naturemorte #baroque #amateurphotography

A still life taken to promote with my friend's recent book, the hardcover in blue, a translation of a decidedly strange and fascinating 19th hoax. On my previous camera - X-T20, lens is a 56mm f1.4 Viltrox. - #stilllife #stilllifephotography #naturemorte #productphotography #baroque #gothic

Cold winter morning with the sun very low on the sky. Snow on the ground but fast melting. Belper in Derbyshire. Shot on my Fujinon XF 23mm f2, Fuji X-H1. EXIF: f/10, 1/250s, ISO 320 #landscape #fujix #amateurphotographer #england #derby #winterphotography

Sunset by Portstewart, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Could have messed around with the dynamic range a bit too much (?) but did want to show the texture of the grass in the foreground. #Fujifilm XF 16mm f1.4 #amateurphotography #sunset #northernireland #travelphotography #photographers

Dreamlike mood in this extremely quiet part of Fukui, Japan. We walked here from downtown on our way to this Edo era village on the outskirts. Passed shrines, pretty green houses, stopped in a sleepy cafe. #CanonAE-1 / #Kodak #UltraMax 400 / #28mm f2 lens with a polarizer. #filmphotography

Bright lights, muggy weather, everything endlessly layered and textured. Japan was a gem to photograph! These all on the XF 23mm f2. The only weather sealed lens I had with me, do it saw a lot of use :). #japan #photography #urbanphotography #fujilove #fujifilm

Speaking of having acquired another lens ... My Gear Acquisition Syndrome is bad enough that I regularly go to museums and see cameras I own on display. Stay tuned for the confessions of a camera hoarder. There will be spreadsheets. #amateurphotographer #filmphotography #photographers

Admittedly an unremarkable shot, but I am marveling at the tableaus you can catch shooting wide-angle on the street. Only just ventured into wide-angle photography several years into my obsession, and it's so fun to have a fresh pair of eyes on the city. #streetphotographers #wideangle

Wistful moment, August of this year. Tempted to compile all my South Bank photos. Been photographing there for nearly five years, love the Bank-Waterloo walk. Taken on a vintage 28mm FD lens mounted to my X-H1. #streetphotography #streetphotographer #vintagelens #uk #london #urbanphotography

One of my favourite shots from the South Bank in London. Mudlarks walking on the beach of the river Thames, golden hour on a cloudy day. Shot on my Canon AE-1P, inherited from my father in 2020. Probably Portra 400. #streetphotography #streetphotographer #filmphotography #london #uk

Might just dedicate my Bluesky to photography. Let's see why else is it there! I've been shooting regularly for about four years. Recently joined the RPS. mainly doing #streetphotography, portraits and still life. A few recent pictures from Japan to kick it off:
