Who doesn’t love the gear acquisition bug?? May have treated myself to a #Linhof Technika to save lugging the heavier thing around for some quicker shots. So far I love it but the lens it came with has a few limitations and some really nice quirks.

Test photos on expired film and it’s come out nice. The Carisbrooke castle photo is on my trusty but heavy AF monorail Toyo. Must. Develop. The. Slide. Film. I keep blaming the delay in processing on needing a million bottles for the chemicals (it’s not cheap, doesn’t keep and mixes in the wrong final amount for me). That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it, and it’s nothing to do with a total loss of confidence in myself on that front.

Must remember focussing loupe though. That’s essential. 🤦

Trinity landing, cowes. Supposedly public but it depends on how pricey your boat is, I guess?

First test actual film photo from the large format. I'd hoped to have a more interesting photo but the tide was high and too rough to get to where I wanted with the intention of getting some halation effect on the film.

It's also the first lunch break I've been able to take in a long while, so it is what it is. Loving it so far and need to learn more, make some adjustments to the bellows frame as I accidentally knocked the front standard giving a little wierd dpeth of field when it should have been locked.

Oh, and developing. No more sloppy habits! clean fingers and clear dust before scanning in. 🤦

Nerdy stuff:
