I shot this roll of Kentmere over two photo walks, one by the river near Stone Arch and another through a nearby community garden.
Another test roll of HP5, but where the last roll had a bunch of shots I liked this one is boring
I’ve added a new lens to my Takumar M42 collection, a 105mm/f2.8. Usable for portraits or to zoom in on any subject that’s about 6-10 feet away. It’s smaller and lighter than my 135mm/f4 and I find it to be much more useful. Over the tail end of the summer I made many trips to…
What is the ‘right’ way to scan a negative? The answer, from what I can see, is that there isn’t one.
After messing up the previous test roll of HP5 I loaded up the second roll and tried it again. No light leaks during development this time. And no other mistakes either, thankfully.
After getting back in to film photography I’ve shot a wide variety of film stocks. I decided to spend some time with just a single stock/developer combo with the goal of learning how it use it well. Because it’s inexpensive and readily available I picked Ilford HP5 as my stock. And because I like how…

My original plan for this film was to use a tripod and maybe a macro lens to get close-up shots of the rocks on the Lake Superior shore near Tofte, MN.
I shot this roll on a trip to the North Shore. Mostly around Cascade River and Tettegouche, I think.
I really like this photo, though I wish I had framed it slightly better. A step or two to the left and a slight crouch would have made a huge improvement, I think. Instead there’s this huge black nothingness in the top right corner.
