I have invested the princely sum of £23.61 while they're still cheap, just in case those guys in China really do succeed in bringing back Polaroid pack film 🤞 It's in really good condition too, looks barely used. Not many genuine Hasselblad accessories you'll see for that price!

Ahh brilliant look who my September postcard came from! They must have crossed over as they travelled the world 😊 Thank you Kim, this was a cheering little package to get in the post this morning ❤️ #PostcardsFromAfar

Postcard with an envelope, a note and a sticker, all laid out on a desk.

The postcard is a black and white photograph of a buggy on a stormy beach, with a surfboard attached to the roof.

Underneath is a handwritten note on lined paper, the start of which reads "G'Day Morag, A short note from Perth, Western Australia."

The stamp on the envelope has a photograph of a small black and white bird and reads "POSTAGE PAID AUSTRALIA"

The sticker is a drawing of an old Polaroid camera

Oh yay it got there in the end! My husband sent me this picture when he posted it. It’s only a tiny little duck, must have taken it a long time to fly all the way to Australia 🐥

Photo of the same white and purple postcard, being posted into the slot of a classic British red post box. Balanced just above the slot is a tiny yellow rubber duck.

My immediate thought - these things become immediately inaccessible to so many people (like me!) who can’t queue for indeterminate lengths of time I literally called Dishoom yesterday to make sure we can get a late dinner tonight without worrying about the queue www.theguardian.com/food/2026/se...

Screenshot of a paragraph of text from the linked article. The highlighted portion reads: "We spend so much time thinking about how best to reduce the bottlenecks and make it more efficient. And even though most people are happy to be social in the queue and chat, we hate that it makes the bakery less accessible to people who can't physically stand for 40 minutes. When we had the heatwaves this summer, we would get people fainting, which wasn't good."

Sigur Ròs with an orchestra in Glasgow last night 🥹✨✨ Yes this is the same gig we saw in London. Yes I went again and I REGRET NOTHING. Would happily watch this every 6 months or so until the heat death of the universe Excuse the potato quality photo, I only had my phone with me this time.

Very low res colour photograph taken at a concert, from an aisle seat in an upper level, with a good clear view of the stage.

On stage is an orchestra, with a small choir off to one side, all dressed in black. They are difficult to pick out, but the three members of the band Sigur Ròs can be seen in amongst the orchestra, just in front of the conductor. Jonsi is standing in the centre, singing into a microphone.

The stage is dramatically and brightly lit, with smoke effects. The orchestra are mostly lit by white lights, while there is purple behind the choir. Blue lighting can be seen on the stairs in front of me. The rest of the room is in deep black darkness.

Absolutely magical evening last night at Jupiter Artland, celebrating my recent Big Birthday. Dinner in the woods with my favourite humans ❤️ Jupiter Artland is bonkers in the best possible way - highly recommend their wild dining experience if you're looking for an event that's a bit different!

Photo taken in the garden behind the café at Jupiter Artland, a sculpture park near Edinburgh. A woman is taking a photo of a sculpture on the lawn called "Piss Flowers" by Helen Chadwick.

In the foreground are a few pastel pink metal cafe tables and chairs on a brick laid patio area, with an expanse of lush green lawn behind. Dotted about on the lawn are a set of white structures that vaguely resemble flowers, each about a foot high. Behind the lawn there is a small slope, with a high green hedge behind surrounding the garden. The woman is standing just in front of the hedge - she is wearing a flowing pink pleated maxi skirt that exactly matches the pink shade of the chairs, balancing out the whole image nicely.

Interior of Cafe Party at Jupiter Artland, designed by artist Nicolas Party.

The whole space is an art piece in itself. The walls are painted a bright pink, with bold colourful alien looking plants and fungi painted on them. The photograph looks towards a gable end, where a colourful, modern painting hangs showing a man with three birds sitting on his head and shoulders. In the foreground is a low hanging pendant light like a floating white globe, and some cafe tables and chairs. The chairs are all black, and the tables have more decoration on them in the same style as the walls.

Close up view of a plate of food on a section of rustic wooden table in an outdoor setting. There is artificial garland of artificial greenery laid along the middle of the long table, and another place setting opposite has a slide of wooden log as a placement.

The plate has barbecued lamb chops, roast potatoes, lots of salad, sweetcorn and some home grown roasted heritage carrots in shades of orange, yellow and purple.

A wider view of the dinner table in the woodland, with a metal firepit in the foreground.

A few people are sitting at the long table chatting, under a sailcloth canopy. It is getting dark and the area is lit with a string of lights. Sheepskins have bee laid out on the benches and a couple of the women have blankets round their shoulders. Lots of plants in hanging baskets decorate the clearing, and the trees of the woodland can be seen in the background.

OK I do have a Hasselblad question for the experts! (@nealhinkle.bsky.social this may be one for you) The back I bought with the camera works perfectly, but the second film back bought separately may be faulty or it may be user error... Pictures of it here for reference

So this is wholesome! My #PostcardsFromAfar postcard from June went on a little adventure on the way to me It was correctly addressed and sent from Illinois - then somehow managed to find it's way to Belfast, where some kind soul popped it in an envelope and forwarded it on to me in Glasgow

Colour postcard showing a view of a clear blue river flowing through a mountain valley.

The postcard is sitting on top of an envelope with a Northern Ireland postmark and a UK first class stamp, addressed "FAO: Morag"

Next to it is a page from a telephone message notepad, with the handwritten message: "Received your card by mistake so just posting forward to you. Lovely photograph." then something illegible (maybe a name?) and "Cheers from Belfast"

Made a friend on my walk by the canal yesterday. Turns out his name is Ziggy and he has his own Instagram! Also he gives excellent cuddles www.instagram.com/glasgowcanal...

Selfie taken from a low angle with a cat. The whole thing is very reminiscent of the “vibing cat” meme

The photo is mostly clear blue sky and a little bit of greenery - then just peeking in at the bottom left corner you can see the head and shoulders of me and a cat, both looking down at the camera.

I am a middle aged white woman with brown hair and glasses, and I am wearing a green shirt, black top and old school white-wired Apple earbuds. My face is half obscured the cat in front of me.

The cat is a slightly scruffy but very cute looking black and white cat. His face is mostly white, with black across the top of his head and ears, and around his left eye. His eyes are half closed

#BelieveInFilm friends! I have a Big Birthday coming up and to mark the occasion I am getting a very special camera. I need you to help me choose which one to buy. Requirements are in the screenshot here...but what my heart really wants is a Hasselblad So - is it a Hassy? And if so, which one?

What camera shall I buy?

Non-negotiable:

- Medium format SLR
- Modular system with plenty of options to add to it later
- Waist level viewfinder
- Interchangeable film backs
- Good quality / well built

Strong preference:

- Good macro lens available - or some means of getting close up
- Square format
- Not *too* hefty where possible (I realise this is relative)
- Decently weather resistant (I won’t take it diving but it does rain a lot here!)
- Can work without batteries / be all mechanical when I want it to be
- Some mechanism to alert me / prevent the shutter firing when the dark slide is still in!
- Multiple exposures possible
- Bulb mode

- SPACE CAMERA SPACE CAMERA SPACE CAMERA
- …it’s so pretty though!

Nice to have but not a deal breaker:

- Other aspect ratios available
- Eye level viewfinder available
- Built in metering

lol does this even exist?:

- A Polaroid back for the system would be lovely but I’m not sure that’s a thing!

Technical question: Recent photos with my OM2 all have the same distinctive black mark at the top left of the frame. Looking inside the camera I can see a bit of fluff stuck behind the shutter curtain that matches the shape and location, except it's at the bottom right...(cont) #BelieveInFilm

Black and white image of a hospital building.

Towards the top left corner of the frame, in an area of light sky, there is a clear black mark with a distinctive shape and sharp edges.

Black and white photograph that is mostly clear sky, with a couple of contrails visible, and a small portion of a tree and a TV aerial in one corner.

Towards the top left corner is a nearly identical black mark to the one in the other frame, in the exact same spot.

Had an appointment over at Stobhill Hospital this afternoon, a new place to me and as it turned out a good opportunity to explore Springburn park, which is unexpectedly lovely

Photograph taken near the entrance to a park on a sunny spring day.

A path made of scruffy wooden boards stretches straight out in front, with trees and grass at either side. The path leads to a large round metal sculpture in the distance; it is almost circular, forming an arch of rusty metal over the path that acts as a sort of gateway to the rest of the park. The arch is just the right size for a tall human to comfortably pass through. Neatly framed in the centre of the circle is a small tree, dead ahead as you walk along the straight path.

Actually looking again at that autumn roll, I think that the scans were quite a bit overexposed and pulling them right back to match the low light at the time really brings the photos to life. Cross processed Fuji Sensia II again #BelieveInFilm

Close up photograph of a dried out fallen leaf in autumn, caught in the branches of an evergreen tree. The fallen leaf is a rich amber brown colour, and the evergreen leaves are a very deep emerald, almost blueish green tone.

The photograph is quite dark overall, with very deep shadows in the evergreen tree and the background - the only brighter spots are a bit of light in the top right corner, and a highlight on the top edge of the leaf.

An earlier version of this photograph was posted earlier today - it is much lighter in tone but I think less effective.

Morag Perkins @moragperkinsphoto.com · 09/05/2026

This wee thread is partly for @wavesounds.bsky.social, who was asking to see some Xpro Sensia! Here's the autumn edition 🍂 It likes to be just slightly underexposed, and when it all hits just right it will give you these absolutely gorgeous unearthly rich colours with greens that are almost blue

Close up photographs of leaves on what I think is a Japanese Maple tree in autumn. The leaves are rich shades of red and orange, with lighter greens and yellows in the blurred background. Some of the deep shadows are almost purple in tone.

Photies! In colour! Been meaning to post these for ages... Very expired Fujichrome Sensia II 100, cross processed in C41 and exposed about half a stop under, all the way back in May 2022. The film expired in 2001, I'm not the speediest mover 😆 Looook at those colours though! #BelieveInFilm

Close up photograph of a small blossom on a tree in spring - I think it might be apple blossom. The flower itself is a soft muted pinkish colour with yellow stamens in the centre. There are other unopened buds behind it that are a darker, richer pink. The leaves are a deep rich almost blue-ish emerald green colour.

The whole photograph has a rich, deep, grainy tone to it.

Close up photograph of a small cluster of leaves emerging from a bud on a tree in sprint. They are just beginning on open up, spreading outwards from a central point. The green tones are very rich and vivid, with almost emerald greens at the base of the bud - while the blurred background is lighter, with more yellowish tones showing through.

Close up photograph of a small cluster of leaves on a tree, gently backlit by slightly muted watery sunshine. The leaves have a colour gradient from green at the base, through yellow and brown to deep red at the outer edges. One is facing directly towards the camera showing a very clear colour gradient and distinct veins, and the other is curled slightly upwards. The backlighting from the sun shows that they have fine 'hairs' at the edges which are gently glowing.

Another photograph of similar coloured leaves, but this time with more flat light and viewed straight on. The background is a flat pale green, and there are three leaves in sharp focus with a very clear leaf structure and rich colours that range from deep green in the centre, out to a rich ruby red at the edges. The middle leaf is darker, and has almost purple tones in places.

So before you all go block this obviously AI “film photography” account please join me in boggling at the incredible uncanny valley weirdness of it. It’s apparently obsessed with white T shirts and…uhh…what things smell like? Then block it.

Screenshot of an obviously AI generated “film photographer” Bluesky account called “Hadley Penna”.

Image shows a white woman in a white t shirt (of course) layered with a jacket and jeans, sitting at a desk with a laptop, “film cameras” and strips of 35mm negatives with the wrong aspect ratio.

I think a lot of it is light. I go looking for light, usually at the window! It's the same reason I break out lots of fairy lights in the winter, you'll see those featuring regularly too. In fact today is the day my fairy lights are going away for the summer

Contrasty black and white photograph of some decorative items on a bookshelf, lit by a string a white fairy lights.

On the front part of the shelf is a black ceramic cat and a lighter coloured ceramic Christmas tree shaped ornament. The glow of the fairy lights is reflected in the bottom part of the ornaments and picks out the details nicely, especially in the ceramic cat.

In the background are a lot of photography books, and a box of postcards that is stylised like an old box camera.

We do have a lot of weather round here... #BelieveInFilm

Black and white portrait format photograph of raindrops on a window. It has just finished raining heavily, and the drops on the glass seem to swirl slightly. Many areas are blurry, adding to the effect.

The view out the window is blurred and indistinct, with light and dark patches that could be sky and scenery, but it is impossible to tell.

Black and white portrait format photograph taken through a window during a storm.

In the middle distance is a large evergreen tree, with motion blur at the edges and the branches bend and lurch in the wind. Further away the edge of a block of tenement flats can be seen.

In the foreground are blurry lighter spots where there are raindrops on the window.

Black and white contrasty portrait format photograph of a suburban street on a wet winter's day, taken from an upstairs window.

In them middle distance a parent is walking with a covered pushchair and two children. One child has an umbrella, and the others all have their hoods up. The ground is wet and both the road and the pavement are uneven, creating lots of puddles.

The far side of the road is semi detached houses, and this side of the road has a row of front gardens for the blocks of flats I am in.

There is a black bar down the left hand side of the frame, from the edge of the window

The same view from the same window as in the previous photograph in similar weather - but this time the focus is on raindrops on the window and the street outside is blurry and indistinct.

Looking through my long term project and there are definitely a few recurring themes emerging. Weather is definitely one! #BelieveInFilm

Black and white portrait format photograph showing the view from an upstairs window in a suburban street.

It is a foggy day - houses and cars across the street gradually become more indistinct as they get further away. In the middle distance, on our side of the street, there is a lamp post - the light is on and it glows gently, but even in the mist the daylight is enough to overpower it. In the foreground is the front garden of the block of flats I am in, and a damp untidy pavement that has been patched up a few too many times.

Anas Sawar does like a majestic low angle doesn't he? Compare and contrast.

Two current Scottish parliamentary election leaflets, held up in my hand against a blank wall.

One is from Scottish Labour, featuring leader Anas Sawar photographed from a low angle and gazing into the distance majestically, with his shoulders back and a mountain behind him. He looks like Brian Cox presenting a documentary about the universe.

The other is from the SNP, featuring leader (and current First Minister) John Swinney in a much less staged photograph, taken in what appears to be an ordinary garden with bushes behind him. He is smiling, and squinting slightly in the sun. It is taken from a more standard angle and generally just looks much less slick and majestic but more approachable

And on the subject of ‘photographers 100% do it on purpose’, it’s never not a good time to repost this gem:

Screenshot of a post by photographer Jake Walters, featuring a full length photograph of Sir Philip Green taken from a low angle, with two round bushes obscuring his feet. The shape and composition gives a distinctly phallic appearance.

Text of the post reads: “ My portrait of Sir Philip Green taken on his Arcadia office balcony on Oxford Street. He was unpleasant and rude to me and my assistant when we arrived to photograph him so I thought.. well if it's ok for you to act like a prick, it must be ok to make you look like one. So I did.”

For the camera(s) - kinda but not really pictured here but I like the photo! - I'm using an Olympus OM1n and an OM2n, with the Olympus Zuiko 50mm f1.8 and the 200mm f5, and a Vivitar 28mm f2.8 close focus. #BelieveInFilm

Black and white selfie taken with a film camera.

I am reflected in a clear glass shower screen, so the reflection is slightly transparent and the texture of a shower wall panel behind shows through creating an interesting textured effect.

I am a white woman with glasses and shoulder length hair, wearing a checked pyjama top, and holding a black Olympus OM1 camera.

There is a mirror behind me, so a partial reflection of the back of me can be seen in one corner of the frame.

For those who are interested in the technical details: I'm using 35mm @ilfordphoto.com XP2 Super for the project, due to the wide exposure latitude and ability to use it in dramatically different lighting conditions. Tell you what, XP2 really loves fairy lights! And deep shadows. #BelieveInFilm

Dramatic, contrasty black and white photograph of a large string of fairy lights, tangled up in a big pile on a carpet.

The outer edges of the frame fade into a deep rich black, and the only source of light is from the fairy lights, which are switched on. Each one is a point of brilliant white light with a slight 'glow' around it.

Morag Perkins @moragperkinsphoto.com · 22/04/2026

My favourite frames from inside the house are also all about the small details:

Black and white photograph of a vintage camera lens on a table by a window, with out of focus fairy lights creating blurry points of light in the background.

Hints of the string of fairy lights, the window, and the street outside can ben seen reflected in the front element of the lens.

For those who are interested: the lens is an Olympus OM F-Zuiko 200mm f5

Anyway, here is a wee selection of my finds from those days I made it out! No real theme here beyond "I left the house today!" I think there's something about not going out much or going far that makes you really appreciate the details though. I've always been all about the details #BelieveInFilm

Black and white photograph of a section of textured concrete wall with graffiti on it.

The wall has been painted white - now slightly dirty - and it has a sort of brick texture to it.

Spray painted on it are the words "NO ONE IS ILLEGALS"

It's clear that somebody originally wrote "NO ILLEGALS", and somebody else has come along and added "ONE IS" in the middle to change the meaning. The added words are in slightly different handwriting, and the paint has dripped in a way that suggests less experience with a spray can.

Close up black and white photograph of a single fallen leaf stuck to a metal handrail in the rain.

The leaf is an almost-perfect classic 'leaf' shape, with strong visible ribs. The handrail has been painted a dark colour, and has lots of raindrops clinging to it

Black and white night photograph taken from inside a city bus shelter.

In the foreground in sharp focus you can just make out a decal with the stylised outline of a fish with a ring in its mouth, a reference to the Glasgow coat of arms.

Overall the image is very dark, but there are bright points of blurred light from the cars on the main road, and the reflection of a lit up advertising poster on the bus shelter.

Black and white landscape photograph showing a city suburb skyline, seen from an elevated viewpoint on a sunny winter day.

In the foreground are blurry tree branches, bare of leaves for the winter.

In the middle distance are some buildings and trees in deep shade, with a strong silhouette along the edge of a ridge. A building with distinct twin turrets can be seen in silhouette towards the centre right of the frame, with a chimney beside it putting out white steam that is catching the sunlight.

Behind that in the distance are a couple more layers of low city hills, each getting lighter as it gets further away. The furthest ridge has lines of trees along its length.

Long term followers might remember this! My project is still going, about 2 years in now. I've been taking one single photograph every single day to document my life with an energy-limiting condition. Don't really know where I'm ultimately going with it but definitely still going! #BelieveInFilm

High contrast black and white photograph taken in an unkempt wooded park on a sunny winter day.

The photograph looks along a path through a line of trees, branches bare for the winter. Lying along the right hand side of the path is a very large fallen tree, with a row of large twisted branches disappearing off up the path to where the top of the tree would have been.

There is some scrappy chalk graffiti on the trunk in the foreground, and somebody has written "Dylan" on the closest branch.

The image has very dark shadows and bright highlights from the low winter sun, giving it quite a dramatic feel.

Last one from Dawsholm Park - found this giant pile of masonry, all neatly sorted, shrink-wrapped, and stacked on pallets. Absolutely no idea what that's about. Bronica SQ-B with Zenzanon 80mm f2.8 lens @ilfordphoto.com FP4 Plus #fridayfavourites #FP4Party

Square format black & white photograph of a pile of masonry in an outdoor setting, with trees in the background.

A large number of what seem to be stone building blocks have been neatly stacked up on pallets and wrapped in plastic shrinkwrap. Some of the blocks have rounded tops, like they are intended to be the top of a wall or similar. They have been wrapped in small sets, sometimes just a couple of blocks together. One set facing the camera has a large X spray painted on the end.

Also quite taken with this last-of-the-roll effort - it has everything wrong with it, but I think that's kind of why it works? Bronica SQ-B with Zenzanon 80mm f2.8 lens @ilfordphoto.com FP4 Plus #fridayfavourites #FP4Party

Black and white square format photograph taken in a forest in winter.

A square rusty metal object is leaning on the roots of a fallen tree, echoing the shape of the photograph. It may have been a cover for something industrial or a manhole at one time, it is perfectly square, and appears to have a raised ' frame' around it.

There is leaf litter and general forest detritus on the ground, and the dead tree root mass behind is covered in moss and plant materials. Everything is untidy and tangled.

At the top of the frame is a solid straight-edged black bar where the film scanner is slightly misaligned with the image, and at the bottom is a fuzzy-edged bright white bar where light got in at the end of the film roll.

I'm only able to do things in a small way at the moment so my tiny #FP4Party was just 1 (one!) roll of 120 film that I took to the park. This one is my favourite - you can almost *hear* it crawling towards you 💀 Bronica SQ-B with Zenzanon 80mm f2.8 lens @ilfordphoto.com FP4 Plus #fridayfavourites

Black and white photograph of the lower part of a tree in a forest clearing in winter, taken from a low angle.

The tree trunk is leaning backwards away from the camera at quite a dramatic angle, with roots reaching out towards the viewer. A large dead branch cut from another tree is leaning across the top of the roots, giving the sense that the tree roots are crawling out from under it to reach you.

Uhhh, hi Bluesky 👋 I made a post about space photography with a Nikon DSLR and now my notifications are melting... ...anyway, you should know that this afternoon I took a picture of a heron on 35mm film using this sexy boi from 1979. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

Olympus OM2n camera.

It is a vintage 35mm film camera from the late 1970s, very much in the classic SLR style

For no particular reason, I have been eyeing up Hasselblads recently 👀 Anyway I think the take home message here is never lend your Hassy to Michael Collins*. Losing one Hassy in space is an interesting claim to fame, losing two just seems careless kosmofoto.com/2020/02/the-...

Vintage advert for Hasselblad cameras. The picture shows a large black Hasselblad camera floating off into space after escaping the gloved hands of a spacewalking astronaut.

The text reads:

“The launch of the first Swedish Satellite.

We have the Americans to thank.

They have used Hasselblads on every manned space flight.

And on the whole, apart from those which they have left on the Moon, they have taken very good care of them.

One astronaut, though, was unlucky enough to drop his Hasselblad.

He was walking in space at the time, and it went into orbit around the earth.

Like all our satellites, it had taken a year to build, and it had undergone 20,000 rigorous tests.

But, three years later, it burnt up as it entered the atmosphere, and so ended the Swedish space programme.

However, we are still building satellites very much like it, to the same high standard.

They are available in all good photographic shops.

Don't want to alarm anybody, but I left the house today and went to the park to take some photos(!!) Trying out Harman Azure for a bit of wild colour adventure, and made a start on my one-roll #FP4Party I'm still relatively new to medium format and loaded the FP4 out in the wild - wish me luck! 😬🤞

Zenza Bronica SQ-B medium format camera, placed on a desk next to the boxes from two rolls of 120 film - one is Harman Switch Azure, and the other is Ilford FP4 Plus.

In the background is a pink iMac desktop computer.

I've explained this to you before Derek, those are ducks! Why are you like this?

Photo of birds in a suburban canal basin, taken from the towpath.

On the tarmac in the foreground somebody has spray painted the word "SWAN?" in block capitals.

The head and neck of a swan are just visible over the wall of the canal bank. It has turned to stare at a duck that is swimming towards it.

The same scene, but this time a second swan has appeared, and they are looking at each other as if discussing the duck behind them.

I mean I think we all know the answer to that

Version of the Peter Griffin skin tone meme, where the skin colours range from “genuinely disabled” (white) down to “faking it” (brown)

Cartoon - A hand holds up a reference card showing a gradient of skin colours, next to a frowning white man. The gradient is labelled “genuinely disabled” next to the whitest skin tones and “faking it” next to the darker skin tones

Can confirm, it travels well! 😊

The back of a postcard from Jaya, that has travelled internationally from the US to Scotland.

It has the standard markings from having been through the post, but both the stamped 'postcard' markings and the handwritten text are clear and have survived well.

I have blacked out my address

The front of the same postcard.

It shows a colour photograph of an old wooden shipwreck on a beach, printed on glossy photographic paper

Putting together an international postcard for this month's #PostcardsFromAfar exchange An international standard letter is now £3.40, which is conveniently exactly the same as two first class stamps (I hope!) ...turns out one of the stamp books we found lying around is older than the other

Back of an as-yet-unwritten postcard, held up in my hand.

It has an air mail sticker on it, and two UK first class postage stamps. One has a picture of King Charles III and the other has a picture of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II
