f/1.1 Colour snapsh!ts

In which I remember that Portra 400 shot at box speed is just too slow. One day I will invest in some C41 equipment & experiment with pushing colour, but not yet.

Little exhibition PhotoSoc had at a local coffee shop last year.

f/1.1 Snapsh!ts

The usual Tri-X @ 1600 souped in Xtol, but by now the Xtol is 15 months old so I gave it an extra few minutes after testing it on a scrap of the leader. First time I’ve ever used a wetting agent & ended up with probably the worst drying marks I’ve ever had, so I don’t think I’ll bother with it again.

In Inverurie for a friend’s wedding.

North Uist Archaeology 360

An installation featuring my North Uist photospheres, accompanied by English/Gaelic narration & original musical compositions that I recorded, plus drone footage from Uist Film, is now open at the Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre. So if you happen to find yourself in the Outer Hebrides in the next few weeks, do have a look. Maybe buy a book :)

North Uist 360

But fear not if your travel plans for May/June do not include remote islands off the cost of Scotland, as the installation shall live on in a smaller form as part of the larger archaeology exhibition that runs throughout the whole summer!

Narrative Clip – 2015 part 3

Okay, so only 3x Clip posts this year is pretty poor, but in my defence I did spend a substantial amount of time since the last post living on a remote island where I didn’t wear it, so…

Starting off halfway through the island stay, when I came back to the mainland for a friend’s wedding. Trying to pay a conference registration before the midnight deadline when the fees increased.

Klasse S Snapsh!ts

I’ve been meaning to put a decent roll through the Klasse S to test it out, but so far all I’ve managed to use it for are party snapsh!ts with flash. At least I know the flash works?

Starting with possibly the only non-flash non-drunk non-dark shot, the usual Tri-X @ 1600. Hopefully this indicates that the camera can actually take nice shots when it’s not being abused in the dark or with drunk hands…
