#believeinfilm #filmphotography This morning, early light illuminated the sideboard ...... where I typically lay out prints after a printing session. These are all 5x7's, and I have a few A4 and 10x8's elsewhere. I can peruse them ... before storing them. Well, those not "stolen" by my daughter! 😊

#believeinfilm #filmphotography There is still no internet and with the grandchildren and family staying, they enjoy it when I set up and project old slides. This was taken when I used colour - about 25 years ago. River Mosel. Nikon F90X. 24-120mm lens. Fuji film. Phone snap of projection!

This is a phone snap of a projected slide on the screen.

#believeinfilm #filmphotography For those that do not "know" me here, I am a prototype luddite and stick with making my images, the old fashioned way in the darkroom. I then snapshot it using an ancient phone for posting. It is sometimes frustrating to see how it views compared with the print.

A bnw print on the left ..... with the same print on a tablet, previously posted.

So sorry to hear you have been ambushed once more with your chronic whatsit rearing its head once more, Lea. I have no real "art" or photos recently produced to attempt lifting spirits ... but, we harvested these chili's yesterday. Perhaps they will help ... (unless chili's are a trigger 🙄 ?)

#believeinfilm #filmphotography Recently I have developed 2 x 135 films. UK heatwave so I waited to evening, but the tap water was still 24 deg C. So, I mixed in fridge water; spot on 20. My negs are dense. Overdeveloped and contrasty. A pity I did not try MDC 24 deg times. Printing will be tricky.
