Time for an another film Friday. This was a picture taken with a large format 5 x 4 camera.
Film Friday – Large Format
Film Friday – Arches and Doorways Project
This is an old photograph taken on Ilford HP5 Plus.
This is the entrance to the Quakers friends meeting house in Lincoln. This is part of a long term project of doors, archways and alleys.
This February’s 2026 picture of the month was part of this project.
Film Friday – Stamp End Lock on Ilford HP5 Plus
One from the Archives, a walk down the river in Lincoln, down to Stamp End Lock. This area is still heavily industrialised but not as much as in years past. Lots of old buildings and warehouses in the area that once used the river for transport.
Film Friday – Lincoln Market, Leica M4 and Kodak Tri-X
In Lincoln once a month in the castle square between Lincoln Castle and Lincoln Cathedral we have monthly farmers markets and also a monthly artists market.
I often have a wonder around with my Leica taking snapshots.
Film Friday – Southwold Lighthouse
Southwold Lighthouse shot on my Hasselblad using Fuji Velva RDP-50 film. The copyright date is correct, its from an old film that I just got round to scanning together with the films I shot during this week.
Film Friday – Suffolk Marshes
I’ll be heading Suffolk for a few days soon to do some photography and enjoy some long dog walks with Timmy the Greyhound. When its grey over the marshes I often reach for film and either shoot with my Hasselblad or Leica M4.
This shot was taken nearly a year ago with my Leica M4 while we were visiting Snape Maltings, the weather ideally suited the Kodak Tri-X I had loaded in my camera.
Film Friday – Urban Landscapes
Its been a while since we had a film Friday so here is one I took many years ago. It was either a Canon A1, AT or Nikon FM2 with 50mm lens. The film was Ilford HP5 Plus and its part of a series I did on urban landscapes back in the early nineties when a lot of the old Lincoln industrial factories were still around.
Now most have been knocked down and are shopping centres to housing estates. In the fleeting world we now live even some of those shopping centres have since been redeveloped again.
Film Making a come back?
Now unless you shoot large format film is a choice for artistic reasons and not technical reasons.
Film Friday – Scooters in the Bailgate
Film Friday – Winter Wildlife
We have not had a film Friday for a while, so I thought I would dig an old Leica M4 shot out to publish.
This was a couple of winters ago and myself and Chris was photographing the birds on a local frozen lake.
With the extreme (for Lincoln, UK) conditions I thought I would take a quick snapshot. I do love my Leica M’s for their carry everywhere convenience and as the M4 is purely mechanical its not that effected by the cold conditions.
For my SLR I had the battery grip fitted containing two batteries and a third battery being kept warm in my jacket pocket.
The smaller Micro Four Third bodies, Fuji X100, and if your willing to accept no view finder the Ricoh GR also make excellent carry everywhere cameras.
