Develop your OWN Black and White Film.. PLEASE!!

Yeah I shoot film a lot. I love the grain and detail it gives. I know that you can filter and muck around with digital to give the same feel, but why not go to the real thing straight away. 

The sad thing is that so many people have moved away from film, the art is being lost. for like $20-$50 you can get all the chemical and things you need to be able to develop a roll of black and white film yourself!!

I can guarantee it's tons more fun doing this yourself at home. Not only actually taking the photo, but doing the development yourself!! This is where the "art" of photography has fallen down over the years. Please click this pdf by Ilford Photo and do yourself a favor, learn a new technique and have more photographic fun!! 

Not street, but very sweet....

I do love shooting my kids on occasions. They can be wonderful subjects, or nightmares. 

This is my eldest daughter shot on a Nikon F4S using Ilford FP4 100ISO film. I have to say that I buggered the shot a little as her jacket is in focus, but her face is a bit soft and out of focus. But I still really like it and think it works really well. She is quite shy and this image brings that out with her face very soft.

She will be SHATTERED once she sees this on the net.. Teenagers.......

Just a touch of some new work.... Enjoy

I have FINALLY had some time to get a few rolls of film I have been sitting on developed and scanned. 

A lot of the images are from around Abbotsford Convent and the surrounds, but there were also a few out of my Holga as well. 

So feel free to pop over to my flickr.com and take a look.
