Lost Film & Polling Stations. 27th October.

I took this photo back in April when I was in London for a friend's birthday. A couple of weeks ago I found the roll of film containing this photograph on a shelf... so I finally got it developed today! I'm a little annoyed that I waited so long to get it developed as the photos have, but I'm still happy that I've found a whole load of lost photographs. 

I'm scanning in a few rolls that I got developed today, so the scans may be uploaded sometime soon.. either on here, my website, or facebook (look below for links). 

It was voting day in my little town on Thursday, this small parish hall was garbed in "Polling Station" signs, definitely thought it was worth a photograph!

I'm off to London tomorrow to start at Rankin on Monday, quite excited.. I aim to blog daily if everything goes to plan.

Positive Negatives, a brand new scanner. 8th October.

I have FINALLY bought myself a decent scanner so I can now start the massive job which is scanning in my hundreds of negatives. I have a collection of Negatives from the past 2 years, some of which I don't even remember creating, it will be a journey of discovery as I haven't printed the majority of these beyond small contact sheets... I am quite excited and I shall share any beauties I find along the way... 

Here are 2 photographs from the Unison strikes in November 2011 (taken with a Bronica SQ-Ai):

Pinhole Tree. (5x4 Negative Scan). 15th December.

I am cheating today as I took this photograph yesterday, it is just a simple negative scan but I am printing it tomorrow! I shot this on a 5x4 pinhole camera, the camera I used has a really wide angle, it is great though and it makes the photographs really effective and interesting! I have been ill today (hence the lack of photograph-taking today) but I shall be better and taking photographs tomorrow!

Lloyds of London in 5x4. 3rd of November.

So, today I developed the film from the 5x4 shoot I did at Lloyds of London.. and here's a quick scan from the shoot! The quality is not that great as I have a basic scanner, but looking at the negative you can really appreciate the great amount of quality that using Large Format can bring!
