{the smoke from the chimney in this picture just kills me...happy sigh}
{Populating my photos sucess! You like the man in the hat yes?}
I'm quite taken with the gritty quality of these photos... After trying the black and white film with the La Sardina and my refurbished LC-A, I was very very excited about using this film with my Superheadz Yellow Peace. I'm not really sure why I haven't used it in it before...
After much thought, I've decided that this film is amazing. No matter what camera I've used it in, its produced lovely results. I still adore it in my Diana Mini but I couldn't be happier with the results in other cameras too.
Location: Leeds and Liverpool Canal
Film: Ilford XP2 ISO 400
Camera: Superheadz Yellow Peace
Oooo all these spots look so familiar! Great atmosphere in these photos! Also - I have nominated you an award on my blog x
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire :) I'm heading over to your blog now!
DeleteWow, the first one looks like taken a couple of decades back!
ReplyDeleteIt does! I think it's my favourite photo at the moment because of that :)
DeleteThese shots are awesome. Especially love the first one. I need me some black and white film!
ReplyDeleteyou do :) this one is great one to try as can you can process it with C41 chemicals too
DeleteOh, the swans ♥ beautiful!
ReplyDeletethank you, they followed us along the canal, so I had to take a photo.
DeleteOh wow! I've just shot my first roll of this in my Diana Mini after seeing your results, I can't wait to get it back! Where do you have your pictures processed?
ReplyDeleteHey Susan, I get mine processed at a Max Speilmann shop near to where I work, you can get them scanned to disc for £3/£4 there in 20 minutes and you can get a 10% card as well, which has helped with the cost too. Worth a try if you have one near you I'd say definitely.
DeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your Diana Mini results!
that is SUPER cheap! I get my done at snappy snaps and it takes at least an hour and costs £8 for a disc! I needs to move out of London! xo
DeleteYeah there aren't any Max Speilmans there apparently lol. Elle from Everything Reminds Me of You said about westendcameras.co.uk having a £3.99 to disc deal if you mention it from the website though...worth a look
DeleteThat first one.. sort of creepy but I love it.. and the smoke just puts it all together!
ReplyDeleteBlack and white is so amazing, I can't wait to experiment with it!
I never thought creepy, but now you mention it, it could be couldn't it. I'm looking forward to seeing your results in B&W.
DeleteI absolutely love ilford film. It gives you great results in pretty much each camera you use it with. Definately one of my film of choice. Great pictures! Love the first and third one.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love those two as well :)
DeleteI love these! Your so right about the smoke x
ReplyDeleteI was so excited when I saw it coming up :) and thank you
Deletethat first photo - so gorgeous! and you're right, that film is incredible. I need to shoot more black and white film. as always, you are my inspiration in all things photography <3 xoxo
ReplyDeleteps. I totally set myself the same challenge of 'populating' my photos more!
it's a good challenge I think - I'm getting there slowly :) you need more black and white film, I agree, the ilford xp2 is 3 for 2 in boots btw!
DeleteThese are really amazing shots Rhianne. The smoke in the first photo really makes the shot. I remember taking a shot of a friend in b/w about 10 years ago lighting another friend's cigarette. It took me about 5 years to notice that the lighter flame was actually lit in the photo and I got so excited x
ReplyDeleteI may or may not have stared at that first photo for awhile, because I was so taken with it. Black and white usually looks so stark, a little brash and uninviting ... but the brick abode managed to look cozy in that photo. (Perhaps because of the smoke?) ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, to me, anyway, swans always look angry.
I really should experiment with black and white with my superheadz. These photos are amazing, I especially like the third one down. I would say it was a populating success, I like how the how the line of people are stretch out along the river.
ReplyDeletegorgeous. i wish i had your talent. the first picture is by far my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful monochrome shots!
