I once took my Toyo 45a to the top of Snowdon with my 6x17 back.
Took the train of course as I’m not daft.

I shot a 35-year-old roll of Tri-X Pan film through my Yashica Mat 124G yesterday to see if I could do a better job loading and unloading this time, avoiding light leaks. Shot this 400 ISO film at 50 ISO to compensate for the age. Developed in caffenol. Scanned with the Epson V600.

Roll of Kodak Tri-X pan B&W 400 ISO film that expired in 1990. Black and white photo of the bark at the crotch of a tree. Sunlight dappled patch of woods Autumn yard decorations: a metal pumpkin reading “grateful, thankful, and blessed” and another that says “bee happy.”

Winter in Siberia is harsh and cold, and Siberians' faces are gloomy, but once you cross the threshold and become a guest in their home, they will be ready to give you their last sugar cube.

#filmphotography folks, can I get a little input? Light leaks in the Yashica Mat 124G or did I do something to expose the film while loading it? This pattern appears at the edges of most frames on the roll. this is only the fourth roll I’ve run through this camera. Never seen this before.

A dramatic black and white mountain landscape featuring a jagged, snow-streaked peak rising beneath towering cumulus clouds. The dense forested slopes in the foreground contrast with the open alpine meadows and the textured rock face of the mountain. The deep, nearly black sky and bright, sculpted clouds create a striking infrared-like effect, highlighting the depth and grandeur of the scene. Captured on Rollei Superpan 200 film with a Pentax MX and 100mm f/2.8 lens, developed in Ilford DD, the image showcases the film’s extended red sensitivity and its ability to render bold contrast and luminous tonal range. A black and white photograph of a translucent American flag backlit by the sun, its stars and stripes glowing against a bright sky. The sunlight passes through the fabric, creating sharp contrast and delicate shadow play, while faint reflections and a blurred hillside appear below. The composition feels both reflective and symbolic, blending light, texture, and form. Captured on Rollei Superpan 200 film with a Pentax MX and 100mm f/2.8 lens, developed in Ilford DD, the image exhibits the film’s characteristic deep contrast and infrared-like tonal response.
