Another of my tube collection St Paul’s I think but happy to be shown the error of my ways. #widelux f6 Kodak 500t converted in post. I had an idea this would be a monochrome whilst taking. #filmphotography #panos #panorama #tube #londonunderground

I also keep weird and wonderful things in a tank full of water. This is a bubble tip anemone surrounded by various sea mushrooms. The kaleidoscope of colours it has are truly staggering.

My take on the small minded nationalists and their wee summit of stupidity.

You may or may not have noticed this… Most of the uk supermarkets have stopped selling mackerel in tins. Replacing it quietly with shit from South America. I understand this is due to overfishing… But this was quietly done hoping people wouldn’t notice, after-all it says mackerel on the tin…. #shady

It's been years since I moved away from a dominance of landscape photography in my output, returning back to a dominance of urban work. This one is from a decade ago, shot on my ever trusty (at that time) 5dmkii 10 min exposure. From Elgol Isle of Skye. #photography #skye #landscapephotography

A beautiful vista showing the Cuillin from Elgol, the sea is very still due to the very long exposure of the image.
the sky is vivid sunset colours there are rocks in the foreground

There are negatives then there are VV negatives. Compression is not always kind to negative space negs, but these look fine. Kodak Ektar, developed in ECN2 Minor dust removal and off we go. #hasselblad500cm 80mm #filmphotography #hasselblad #croatia #film #beltofvenus

These larger sized, 3 image frames from ikea make great homes for roughly 80cm panoramas. So glad they are now making larger ones The fit the widelux near perfectly The face on gets too many reflections from fishtank and window 😂 Side on you can see the image better #widelux #filmphotography

Shame on the uk gov for conflating 2 things to guilt layer you into thinking it’s illegal to do street photography. This was shared on fb, I have checked the veracity and it is a legit uk gov pamphlet Street photography is not a crime. Don’t go down the whole every photographer is a pervert route

My postings are still a bit thin on the ground, I am spending far too much time with my reef tanks and not enough time out photographing. Here we have: The rather wonderfully modern forward looking Brutalism that is the BOAC building Glasgow Gillespie, Kidd & Coia designed

A flattened image from a 360 degree taken by my drone of the uncovered Egyptian Halls Glasgow, it's been covered by scaffolding for about 15 plus years. The flattened looks like a widelux attached to the drone. hopefully the 360 which is also here will show.

John F @johnfar.com · 10/07/2026

Glasgow looks really empty in many of my images. It’s a combination of day time, exposure & traffic lights. Day = weekends Time = early Exposure = 30 sec + Traffic lights = I wait & see what the timing is on them and use this time to get the camera in & the shot taken @realitysosubtle.bsky.social

Unintentional camera movement. The tube can be a bit bouncy if trying to shoot on 1/15th whilst moving Some lines are better than others widelux f7 kodak 500t #widelux #panos #tube #panorama #filmphotography

Been too busy setting up my nano reef that I am forgetting my photography. Ikea have recently increased the range of pano frames and are now offering a larger one. I have 3 frames currently on the wall with the smaller version with 3 b&W Thinking of these as a set #filmphotography

Little & large in the family I need to replace the bellows in the No4 (leather already in the bag) The No1 has had a fall at some point so needs a little bit of bending into shape again behind the door. I may strip them back to wood / recover or varnish #filmphotography #panos #kodakpanoram

After a long long break my good lady finally agreed for me to have a fish tank in the house again,last time I ended up building a purpose built shed in the garden for them. This time it’s reef tanks so not gonna start breeding them again… One of my corals through my large format loupe viewer

My take on tonight’s election results in Scotland. Another five years dominated by constitutional obsession, grievance politics and division, with the SNP and Reform now feeding off each other in a never ending outrage machine.

Says it all really… Weeks she was hounded for. Garbage is celebrated for getting “gifts” It would take your average worker earning £50k a year 100 years to earn that and this gets given it as a gift with no “strings” attached

More London tube stations 500T Widelux f7 I was well clocked shooting this one. It was only the 2 of us so me on the floor framing up to get right to the top of the escalator did stick out a bit #filmphotography #film #widelux #panos #panorama #london

Reasonably good crumb Nice bubbling throughout and open structure without big holes Very tasty

John F @johnfar.com · 03/05/2026

Been after one of these at a low price for a wee while now. £93 inc postage. (Buy it now) Bit of a doer upper for sure but I am cool with that. Kodak panoram no1 (orig variant) Serial no 666 😱😱😱 There is another on eBay just now sitting at £99 with 28 watching it’s likely to go north of £200

I ran out of bread so just used one of the loaf dough from yesterday Looks decent 40 mins with lid on and ice cubes in 10 mins off, then flipped upside down for 5 mins to deepen the base colour and crisp Significant overnight rise in fridge. Probably added another 50% mass before baked

John F @johnfar.com · 02/05/2026

That’s where sourdough is easier You can stop and restart the process 😉 and here we are 2 hours later

John F @johnfar.com · 02/05/2026

Hour 1 You can see how much it’s already grown. Very active

John F @johnfar.com · 02/05/2026

And post sourdough addition and extra mixing. Looks good. Now covered with recyclable clingfilm (what a great step forward) and will be left to see how it develops for 8 hours or so before heading to the fridge

Seems ok after an hour of hydration Sourdough and salt in (Himalayan pink)

Trying the wild farmed flour today along with my usuals. 500g WF 200g malted rye 300g eight grain To this I will add 600ml of water and about 250 ml or starter. Making it reasonably high water content but not too high. Will see how it is in a few days #sourdough #homebaking #breadmaking

John F @johnfar.com · 30/04/2026

Ok second and final from this batch Looks decent enough I expect it to be a little dense as per last one. Less seeds and less wholemeal next time

130

John F @johnfar.com · 30/04/2026

Just to give a small indication of just how read it is. I fed this before going to bed. The top of the black band is there it was when fed. This is one seriously ready to go starter 😂

010

John F @johnfar.com · 29/04/2026

I keep three sourdough starters A San Francisco Black Death And a local one. This is the Black Death after nearly 2 months in the fridge un fed I took a tablespoon spoon from it and tossed the rest. It’s now ready to bake from. Such a great starter with a lovely flavour.

John F @johnfar.com · 27/04/2026

That came out nicely Dutch oven heated to 250 deg 40 mins Lots of ice cubes in with it. Lid off for 15 mins at 200deg Looks like a decent bounce. Probably doubled in height, and that’s straight from the fridge

John F @johnfar.com · 27/04/2026

Started making this batch of dough on Friday. It never really rose much on the first rise overnight before going in the fridge And hasn’t risen much in the days that have passed. Let’s hope I get a good oven bounce. #homebaking #sourdough #breadmaking

This makes me think that the people are going into the belly of a beast. London Tube station travelator Widelux f7 500T With the people straight on to the lens they are caught without motion even though it was a 1/15th exposure #widelux #filmphotography #london

A rarity for me I didn’t have a pinhole or other camera with me when I came across this tonight. Debating with myself whether it is worth the 50 mile trip or not

Super tasty but could have been doing with a bit more hole action They are their in their hundreds but smallish

John F @johnfar.com · 19/04/2026

I always have found loading dough into the Dutch oven a bit of a booger… I don’t have one of those silicon things to make it easier. So stopped using it for bread for a while. Brainwave Turn it upside down load onto the top It’s a lodge one so has a flat top anyway for using on the stove top Bingo

Couple of briefs for the sold out Happy Mondays Gig at the Barrowlands tonight. 18th April 2026 I can't go, so looking to move on I am not looking to profit from this so slightly below what I paid £90 for 2 #glasgowgisgs #happymondays #barrowlands
