Ok, looks like the Brownie of 1954 capture something. Next step: The enlarger.

Now that I completed the test run, let’s go to the darkroom and see what is coming out of this. Using a fixed 1/30 @ F15 is requiring imagination !

This "new" one to me is fully functional and based on the CAMEROSITY system of kodak, was built in March 1954 (glass lens). While I wait for those 620 film rolls I ordered to arrive, I will perform a little cleanup. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmcamera #kodak #filmphotography

A friend of mine, in 2008. The day after her wedding she decided to do a "Trash the dress" in the ocean. Can't remember the camera, the lens and the dev process, but was shot on #Ilford Delta 400 #cayolargo #cuba #believeinfilm #filmphotography #filmisnotdead

A young woman, having her feet in the ocean, but the picture is cut at the knees, her arms behind her head that is leaning backwards, laughing. She is wearing a white wedding dress and a pair of dark sunglasses.

Another lost roll from a trip to Boston around 2003-2005. Since I was starting with film photography and darkroom processing, the quality is not always there. (even 25 years later the quality is not always there). 📷Canon EOS Rebel G 🎞️Fomapan 100 No more info about the processing.

A black and White photo of a tombstone where we can read:
" The Remains of Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks and Patrick Carr Victims of the Boston Massacre, March 5th, 1770 were here interred by order of the Town of Boston - Here also lies buried the body of Christopher Snider Aged 12 years, died February 22nd, 1770."

Boston around 2003-2005 First time trying to do street photography. Canon EOS Rebel G, 50mm 1.8 (nothing sexy) Was not taking notes at that time, so I can't say more. #filmphotography #streetphotography #monochrome

Before I lock myself in the darkroom for all the afternoon processing films, I decided to post this quick digital shot from Portugal, 2018. When I look at it the only caption coming to my mind is "End of the road". #photography #digital #portugal #cemetery

Picture of a cemetery, with a narrow path going to the horizon, going narrower with the perspective effect. On each side of the path there are several cemetery vaults. The image is lightly desaturated with a small HDR effect.

It is a car... or a golf cart with doors, depending on if you are looking at it with European eyes or North American eyes. When we saw it, my wife and I, we remembered immediately the old Louis de Funès french movies we were watching as kids Sorento, Italy, 2023 #monochrome #photography #italy

Unfortunately it is not the way chemicals and silver grains work. Your 1st fixing attempt removed some of this grain and If you followed the process, this negative had a stop bath and a couple of rinses/washes so now you can handle in broad light. Your options: Work on a scan or on enlarger

Actually I am here: The room has been stripped, the new insulation is done, the electricity is half done. One wall is ready to be plastered. This weekend I should finalize the plumbing and the electricity and maybe closing a second wall.

Some people asked me why I did not post in a while. Was busy working on the new darkroom. Remember this old post: bsky.app/profile/patr... 1st I had to sell all the tools to clean this room and be ready for transformation and it took longer than I thought:

You asked for it... Here are Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola (the one in color) and Riomaggiore. All from June 2023. Even crowded by tourists, those 5 jewels (with my previous post of Monterosso al Mare) are incredibly authentic. #italy #cinqueterre #travelphotogrpahy #EastCoastKin #Scape

Maybe a bit early for #EastCoastKin #Scape but I am too happy to see Friday arriving. Monterosso al Mare, 1 of the Cinque Terre, #Italy, June 2023 Seascape? Landscape? Cityscape? Probably Somethingscape.

A day like the others in Sainte-Anne, Martinique

2 local residents doing regular chores. 1 man on the left holds a bag and is about to cross the street, another one in the center is walking toward a building on the right. The scene is framed by trees on top and handrails at the bottom.

Did not post in a while. Busy with the website plus the new darkroom. But still able to add a new baby to the family. After looking at it for a while I found an Olympus XA-2 with the flash for a good price. Thanks to @bob1948.bsky.social for answering my questions. It is so small !! #BelieveInFilm

OMG! While preparing some stuff for my “will be ready this fall” darkroom, look what I found in old boxes: 2 binders of my first exploration in film photography, 20 years ago. Pictures are so old that I even have hairs on some. And for some others I dont even remember who are on them.

Quick snap in my backyard. Was absolutely not setup for it. So I moved quickly. Each spider in this picture is 1 to 1.5mm They have just hatched. I suspect they are Argiope aurantia. If it is the case they will be 20-25 times this size by the end of summer. #entomology #spiders #macrophotography

Very small black and yellow spiders, between 1 and 1.5mm in size they are between 50 and 75 in numbers. They look like floating in the air, but they are all attached to a web.

I know, nothing fancy here, but guess who will load his first roll of 35mm film in 15 years this weekend? #BelieveInFIlm #EastCoastKin
