I have been using Kodak BW400CN recently, it’s not true black and white film. It is black and white but it uses a colour process to be developed, I am using it because it means I can get the photos developed in Belfast and don’t have to send it away, but I have come to love the film, It’s really nice and contrasty if its developed properly.
I spent St. Patrick’s day this year in Dublin again, hanging out with a couple of friends. Dublin was completely packed, but it was still good banter. I did however manage to get my hand a little mangled during a game of ultimate frisbee when I was body-checked backwards into a tree… I am a little accident prone…
On Saturday I attended my first Flickr meet up in Belfast. It was really good banter to meet up with other photographers and take a walk around the city, then get a tour of the newly renovated and reopened Ulster Hall. Unfortunately there was an event on in the Ulster Hall on Saturday evening, so the blinds were down and there was lots of dry ice and light testing going on, nevertheless I had a good day and got a few good shots anyway. I think my favourite photo from the day was inside St. Anne’s Cathedral, again I’ve been playing with texture overlays…
Here are a couple more…
More on Flickr as usual
This is fast becoming a photo-blog. It’s been 120 years since the first photographic film (as we know it today) was produced. Many of you who read my blog may find this a little odd, but there is still an excitement that comes with picking up your developed film. Something a little unexpected,a hint of anticipation at the photographs that your eyes are about to see. I think this is one of the reasons I love film, and also experimental photography, the slight uncertainty about it. I picked up some photos today, and put the best of them up on my flickr, but here are a couple of my very favourites from the two films.
