LOMO Cosmic Symbol, 517 film @100 in Diafine (Bellini Duo Step). Not been used for quite a while, I thought that I would try it again on a bright day. Both probably at f8. I'm a bit surprised how sharp this is, stopped down. The camera is a bit different to use and has some...

Hanimex 35 Micro flash, Fomapan200. Suffolk beach huts and an old fashioned hardware shop.

I'm a beginner with Darktable. From a standpoint of only having made global edits to my images (density, contrast etc) it is a bit overwhelming. As I run Ubuntu Linux on my PC, I don't have many choices, so will work with this. I found that general tutorials didn't do much for me...

From my week in Suffolk. Hanimex 35MF Fomapan 200@100 in Bellini Duo Step (Diafine).

Originally posted in wrong thread, moved to here: Well, ruined half a roll. Being a clever so and so, I stopped the film leader from rewinding into the can on my AF P&S by watching the exposure counter decrease until it hit 0, then popped the back open, just a crack to stop the...

A couple from my week in Suffolk. Hanimex 35MF Fomapan 200@100 in Bellini Duo Step (Diafine). I liked the winches on the beaches, used to drag boats up the shingle. Many now defunct, like this one: And some apparently still working:

Hanimex 35 Micro Flash. Fomapan 200@100, in Bellini Duo Step. My tiny 1980s compact manual camera out for its first full test roll, in Suffolk, this one near Sizewell. The light leak seems to be fixed. WW2 Coastal Defense on the beach.

A few from my scans from the Manchester walkabout. Used my Minolta Dynax 5 with 35-105mm (50mm f1.7 for shot of carving). I should add that most of our shots were in the Northern quarter (older buildings).

Pentax 35 Pino A simple camera from around 1984 onwards that looks more featured than it actually is. A single shutter speed of around 1/125 and a variable aperture from f3.8 to f19. The aperture is selected on a rotating ring through the range in six positions. Film speed is set on one...

Another from my P&S cam, taken after we had finished the Manchester photo walk. Very contrasty scene. Detail in the shadows lost.

One from my P&S with mono film whilst on the Manchester outing. I'm looking forward to the dev of my first colour film since colour film was the way everyone took photos. "Fresh Needles for Every Client"

Just back from the Manchester Photowalk. Huge thanks to Analogue Wonderland and our walk leader Jordan and her helpers for a great afternoon. We had probably a few over 20 turn up, with a good spread of age groups and as many girls as boys taking part. I ran off my colour film, most of which...

Wait until Saturday in Manchester.....competitive photogs in action. I bet they will ruin your composition!

Hanimex 35 Micro Flash And another arrived for me to play with.... The buying of these cameras has become a quest to find the camera image effects (faults) that I want. It is somewhere near to LOMO/Holga type images, but maybe not as extreme. Please feel free to suggest anything that...

A day out sounds to be great! That date is right in the middle of our Suffolk trip dates, but as it's in a caravan, it is subject to having a good enough stretch of weather, so it is a possible for me. My chief supervisor may come along too to make photographic suggestions.
