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

Yeah a truly beautiful place to be. And with a long exposure you get to appreciate it at the same time 🤩

John F @johnfar.com · 14/09/2026

Thank you. They never noticed at all 🤩

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

Thank you, I doff my cap to the architects that allowed me this vista to capture 😀

Why thank you John.

You canny beat a subway station for the dramatic architecture

John F @johnfar.com · 01/09/2026

😂 at night I just shoot wide open and focus mostly at infinity

It handles it remarkably well. Even with a steady hand I struggle with my xpan when it is as dark

Thank you kodak 500T processed in the ecn2. Nothing fancy just great architecture to work with. 🤩 Shot at 400, which is about as low as it can really go in a subway. Adding an extra stop at 800 is overkill and increases the grain, 1/15th probably f2.8 but it varies. Some are f4, as light allows.

John F @johnfar.com · 30/08/2026

Thank you Peter. I feel they go together well as a coherent set. I love the colours of subways :-)

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

No they don’t And this demonising shit isn’t on. It’s hard enough without the uk government spreading falsehoods. As this shit spreads through the general public they become more belligerent towards street photographers, never once thinking that their selfies with people in the background are..

The pamphlet is 100% legit Confirmed via multiple sources and here is the guidance which is even more explicit www.gov.uk/government/p...

This just enrages me, whilst there are perverts out there, for the uk gov to tie street photography into this is shocking…

040

John F @johnfar.com · 21/08/2026

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

I haven’t bought a camera in ages, however I have been spending more than I should have on setting up my marine reef tanks. It’s now CAS, Coral Acquisition Syndrome…

John F @johnfar.com · 14/08/2026

Looks great A Berlin subway trawl is long overdue for me. They will fit in well with my other subway images 🤩

Not as smooth as it could be. Prob an easy fix. The seller is open to offers. I have one. Don’t need another A boxed example is unusual ebay.io/m/moW3p1

a good way of putting it

John F @johnfar.com · 09/08/2026

It is most definitely different, that’s for sure

John F @johnfar.com · 09/08/2026

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

unfortunately it doesn't seem to properly show 360 degree images :-(

020

John F @johnfar.com · 09/08/2026

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 · 21/07/2026

It’s incredible cheap Looks like a “refreshed license” they are perfectly ok I got one for office the other week for my wife and it was no bother.

John F @johnfar.com · 21/07/2026

The problem with prices is we are used to the curve being low on order cameras. However mostly the curve is moving up again and new stuff ain’t cheap 😞

John F @johnfar.com · 12/07/2026

I was out with my drone this morning. It has been a while. Soon as I put the battery in it stated it was over the class weight. This was every battery. All DJI all marked 249g Anyone else seen this with a firmware update ? DJI mini 4 pro And a gull shat on it in the air 😂 #drone #dji

John F @johnfar.com · 10/07/2026

On a sadder note this image as you see it is no longer possible. The middle building down the road burned to the ground a month or 2 back. Forever changing the vista in the heart of Glasgow at central station

John F @johnfar.com · 10/07/2026

Traffic lights = Time to get in & the shot taken it’s, so I can stand in front of any traffic whilst it is stopped. You can also add in for longer streets the timings at the lights before to slow the traffic. @realitysosubtle.bsky.social #6x17 #pinhole #pinholephotography

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

Seems like I was off here for near a month. Not sure how that happened. Not been out making images, not doing much really. I have a week off next week, will see if I can get some traction going. I have 2 loaves fermenting in the fridge after I made a batch last night. So I must be moving again 😊

John F @johnfar.com · 09/07/2026

I have one, unfortunately it made the junked list. From memory it was a mechanical issue with it. The winder mechanism, it just keeps winding and winding but doesn’t stop 🫤 Lovely small camera for the brief period it did work

John F @johnfar.com · 12/06/2026

Is it just me or is Facebook down ? Same with messenger. I initially thought they had shadow banned me for upset maga supporting Epstein deniers but I reckon it’s not just me 😂
