I feel pretty lucky to have landscape like this a short walk from my back door. I still need to work on my developing time with #Caffenol and Rollei ir400, but I’m pretty happy to be getting some results. Snapped with my OM1n. #believeinfilm #filmphotography #selfprocessed
A lone adolescent Scots Pine stands amongst the heather, basking in sunlight and surveying the mixed spruce and larch woodland skirting the hazy mountains beyond. Wispy clouds impress light moving textures across the sky like gentle brushstrokes from a tired but happy Bob Ross.

High altitude wilderness on #lomochrome via my Olympus Pen FT. I tend to get pretty desaturated skies with lomochrome and I'm not really sure if it’s down to shooting it at 100 iso, or it’s just how the film is in general. I still love the look anyway. #hff #halfframe #believeinfilm #ハーフカメラ
Sunlight sparkles off the leaves of wild plants and trees that carpet the rugged foreground, in the distance clouds kiss the mountain tops as they drift through a summer sky.

Some nice light on the old road just before the leaves begin to turn for autumn. Fujifilm point and shoot with @harmanphoto.co.uk Phoenix 200, shot at 100 ISO and processed in the kitchen sink. #believeinfilm #harmanphoenix
An old well trodden path ascends through ancient oak woodland, its flanking battlements of mossy dry stone wall catch dappled sunlight and shelter travellers as they pass along the ferny floor.

Little summer glen, captured with a Fujifilm point and shoot on my first roll of @harmanphoto.co.uk Phoenix 200. I shot this at 100 ISO, processed it with fairly old Tetenal chemicals, and I’m actually really happy how the pics turned out. Feels like it did on the day. #believeinfilm #harmanphoenix
Light dappled moss covered boulders in the foreground lead past an old tree to a sunlit glen, and on to the hazy peaks of the mountains in the distance.

I’ve been doing some leisurely experimenting with Rollei infrared, so it’s been great to have a glimpse of sunshine here in Scotland. This is a half frame shot from my first roll processed in D76 (just Caffenol and C41 prior to this). #believeinfilm #hff #halfframe #ハーフカメラ #selfprocessed
A black and white film photograph of a rocky dell. Dappled light cascades in through birch trees to illuminate the ferns and grasses scattered amongst the boulders.

Rain clouds over Cusco, on half frame #Lomochrome via my Olympus Pen FT. #believeinfilm #hff #ハーフカメラ #filmphotography
Purple grassland and shrubbery lead through ancient stonework to a city sprawling across the hillsides beyond. Blue grey clouds break open in curtains of rain across the illuminated horizon in the distance.

Lima coastline on #ilfordphoto XP2 super via my Olympus Pen FT. Since I'd shot mostly colour prior to this it was great to find a black and white film I could develop in my existing C41 chems. Happy #hff #halfframe #ハーフカメラ #believeinfilm #selfprocessed #filmphotography
A six lane highway winds away from us along the Peruvian coastline, between palm tree scattered beaches and city supporting cliffs.Waves break against the foundations of a sprawling clifftop coastal city.

A colder than it looks winter cloud inversion captured with my Olympus Pen FT on Fuji Velvia (cross processed in C41). Normally I see these in the morning at this time of year but this one was late afternoon when the sun was close to setting. #believeinfilm #selfprocessed #expiredfilm #hff
Low winter sun flits across the top of a cloud filled valley between the forest, heather and grassland covered slopes. Long shadows track towards us from the trees who do their best to reach above the fog. The scene feels warmer than the day it represents.

I’ve still a lot to learn with black & white film but it’s helping me to reflect on light and shade more. Although this isn’t the most amazing of scenes I’m really happy with how it came out considering my track record with #caffenol developing. OM1n on Rollei ir400. #believeinfilm #selfprocessed
Late morning light cascades through the deep woodland layers of oak, beech and birch, and on to the sprouting bracken floor.

Rugged valley views high in the Cordillera Blanca, captured on Lomochrome purple via my trusty Pen FT. The landscape here was so different from home and I’m glad I captured some of it on this film stock. #believeinfilm #halfframe #hff #🎞️
A winding river flows through a sunny but cool valley with tree lined grassland at its base, and scattered shrubbery leading up the rocky slopes towards the snow capped and cloud lost peaks of the Cordillera Blanca.

Winter walks because the views can be so atmospheric, plus I treated myself to some sweet new boots. I’ve been working my way through a load of expired Tudor 200 film and occasionally get a roll with a stripe. I've no clue what causes it, but hey it adds to the mystery! #believeinfilm #expiredfilm
Frosted and snow-dappled heather carpets the landscape, weaving through characterful old Scots Pines before dissolving into the softly illuminated fog beyond.

Spotted while spotting the local early morning garden foliage rustler. 35mm half frame via my Olympus Pen FT and some expired Tudor 200. #believeinfilm #expiredfilm #homedeveloped #halfframe
A young roe deer looks at you from its leafy glade, as it ponders the crisp but bitter tang of fresh dock and dandilion ruffage.

A blustery day at Sandwood bay. The winding walk through the machair to this remote beach on the far north west coast is well worth it even on a wild day. Such a beautiful spot. Tudor 200 half frame via my Olympus Pen FT. #believeinfilm #expiredfilm #homedeveloped
Aquamarine Atlantic Ocean waves crash against the dark rocky Scottish foreshore, as a lone wind battered sea stack keeps watch from the distance.

Low light breaks through slithers in the cloud cover to glance off rocky mountainous layers of a barren Peruvian landscape.

This is my second attempt with caffenol, and I clearly have a long way to go. Massively underdeveloped but glad I got some results. I'm going to try a bit more with this same film stock now I have a benchmark to work from. Rollei ir400, taken with my OM1n. #believeinfilm #homedeveloped #caffenol
A black and white photograph of the Scottish countryside in summer. A path trodden across grassland in the foreground leads through gorse to birch woodland and on down to the sun bathed valley in the distance. Small whispy clouds drift across the skyline at their leisure.

Happy Summer! Barely capturing images on ancient Ektachrome with a Kodak instamatic I bought for 5p. #believeinfilm #expiredfilm #homedeveloped
A technically terrible photograph of summer flowers on expired 35mm film. Warm feels though!

A warm full moon at twilight, captured via my om1n on expired Trueprint 400. #believeinfilm #expiredfilm #homedeveloped
A 35mm film photograph showing a warm autumn full moon rising over  hills beyond a darkened valley. Soft clouds pick up the lunar glow as they whisp across the twilight sky.

Happy Sunday! have some soft and dreamy sunset feels courtesy of this expired tudor 200. #believeinfilm #expiredfilm #pointandshoot
A 35mm film photograph showing the last rays of sun as it disappears behind the distant mountains, leaving the foreground of landscape shrouded in a soft warm dusk.

A well deserved snack stop in the Cairngorms. Our little green loch (An Lochan Uaine) is quite a beautifully unique spot in Scotland, so many of the lochs here are dark and peaty. 35mm half frame on expired tudor 200, via my Pen FT. #believeinfilm #expiredfilm #halfframe #ハーフカメラ
A 35mm film photograph of a mountain biker taking a rest on a fallen tree, while enjoying the view across a green lochan cradled by steep slopes of boulders and Scots pine.

I love the anticipation of first roll exploring with a new camera, especially when you've attempted to repair it yourself. Expired tudor 200 via my (at the time new to me) om1n. #believeinfilm #expiredfilm #homedeveloped
A 35mm film photograph of a foggy pine forest in the early morning. Layers of trees gradually fade into the distance as they approach the central low lying sun.

I feel so lucky to have this view to wake up to - grainy early morning light, captured on some very expired film (30+ years out of date trueprint 400) via my om1n. #believeinfilm
A grainy 35mm film photograph showing the early morning light as it illuminates layers of oak and beech tree tops that peek above low lying fog in the Scottish highlands.

Dawn for a new year. Hope everyone has a good one. Fuji point and shoot on expired 35mm Activa 200.
A film photograph of dawn breaking over a mist filled valley. Soft warm clouds wisp across the subtly glowing sky, with its rainbow like palette of colours contrasted by the silhouetted tree line in the foreground.

One of the attractions of a hilltop wind farm! Half frame via my pen-ft on ilford xp2 super. #ハーフカメラ #filmphotography
A 35mm film photograph of a dark black and while landscape, with silhouetted tree branches in the foreground framing a strikingly bright fork of lightning that is reaching down from the heavens to kiss a mountain top in the distance. Layers of forest, fields and hills progressively lighten with an increase in distance to the atmospheric stormy grey sky beyond.

A sun kissed summer evening in a Scottish glen, captured on Portra 400 with my Olympus Pen FT. I made a film photography feed focussed on alternative process and atmospheric imperfection if anyone out there in the ether is interested. #analoguefilmfeed #BelieveInFilm bsky.app/profile/did:...
A half frame 35mm film photograph showing a lush green steep sided Scottish glen on a late summer evening. The rocky winding tree lined river at its base leads you across a landscape of sparkling sunlight and deep shadows, through a dreamy haze of washed out evening light that is reflecting off the camera lens.
