I'd shoot it at box speed Laurens, better to underexpose than blow out the highlights with slide film.

Thanks Laurens! Yup, northern end of Perthshire.

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.

Hey Laurens, I've got some half frame shots from the start of Sept so could get them scanned and maybe contribute one. Is submission only via the form that requires a google account or can we just tag a pic #wwhfpd25 and it'll get included?

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.

This is so cool. I developed a roll of Kodachrome in caffenol ages ago but kind of forgot about it as it looked a bit underdeveloped and I hadn't worked out how best to scan it. Great to see some good results as inspiration.

NP, you'll get a tutorial on YT for these, they're fairly simple.

Phin @heyphin.bsky.social · 24/07/2025
My guess would be lens misalignment, possibly even just one of the elements if it has had a knock or been dissasembled in the past.

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.

That's interesting Bob, cool to hear how versatile film use was. I guess the film still available today probably wouldn't be sensitive enough for that sort of thing. The stock I used here is classed more as near infrared I think.

Phin @heyphin.bsky.social · 11/07/2025
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.

Hey thanks Eimhin, nature deserves most of the credit here I think.

Or just on the grey concrete because it should be fairly neutral.

Phin @heyphin.bsky.social · 09/02/2025
Have you tried just clicking the white balance dropper on your black borders? That should remove the colour cast from the film stock.

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.

Sure of course, I basically used the CL recipe - 1 litre distilled water, 16g sodium carbonate, 10g vitamin C, 40g value brand instant coffee, 2g potassium bromide. Semi stand developed (agitate at 5, 10 and 15 mins) for 55 minutes at 20 deg C.

Hey thanks! Yeah I keep under developing, and times seem to vary a lot between film stocks so I'm trying to do a few rolls the same until I get it worked out.

Phin @heyphin.bsky.social · 04/02/2025
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.

You can get collapsible bottles, but I just use old soft drink / soda bottles and squirt a little butane lighter refill gas in the top before storage. It’s heavier than air so creates an inert layer on top of the fluid that stops oxidisation. Plus fridge storage and they last for ages.
