A #fridayfavourite that was shot on a Monday

This is during snow we had in November 2024. I only just got around to developing this roll, it spans nearly 10 months from Nov24 to Sep25!

FUN FACT if you shoot snow using flash on an Olympus Pen EE the out of focus snowflakes turn square because of the aperture shape

Yes, they did remove herobrine

A diptych taken in black and white film of a snowy path on the left and a tree branch laden with snow on the right. Because of the camera used, the snowflakes that have been turned into point lights by the flash have become floating squares

It's pretty much a year to the day since I was in the northernmost parts of mainland Scotland.

That holiday triggered some strange migratory response in me and I've been obsessed with going further north to Shetland ever since

Probably won't lug the large format along though!

I tried my best, but the light pollution over the horizon was too much

If you shoot phoenix film without a fluorescent correction filter old tube lights will turn bright green. It's all a bit surreal.

Feels strange to have an infrared photo without a pitch black sky

📍North Lees Hall, Peak District

An old stone hall behind an old stone wall. Photo taken in infrared, so the leaves on the trees are bright white.

It was great for photos, but maybe not the ideal when we'd gone hiking for the views 😅
A misty plateau with visibility around 20m. The photo is taken in infrared so penetrated the mist more than you could actually see in person.

We climbed up into the clouds. These rocks are usually only around 10m above the slope below, but in this weather the drop looked like it could have been endless.

A couple more from my roll of Kentmere 100 that I shot for #wwhfd25 #halfframe

It was fun to take the Pen EE out for the first time in a while.
I've also got a mystery roll of Kentmere 400 that I found in it to develop and I have no idea what's on that one.

Pretty happy with this out of the half frame!

I usually only post as diptyches, but here I like this on its own!

We were at a craft fair and some guy had just put his pet bearded dragon on my partner's shoulder when they went off.

It was a doubly surreal moment

A bit late for #wwhfd but I had to figure out some special brew developer for my film since my last batch of homemade rodinal was a bit flat. AKA, borderline completely useless as in the second photo

Behold Qodinal, my 1+100 Ilford PQ and 1+50 weak rodinal mixture.

I wasn't actually able to get direct line of sight with the Big Lens yesterday because the road was shut off. Luckily someone flew a drone over

I'm sorry to bother you like this, but sadly you are the Local Internet Building Knower and I must ask: do you have any clue or mild guesses for what could have happened here?

Apparently the front just fell off about half an hour ago. Thankfully nobody was nearby or hurt.
A former church now wedding venue made out of yellow stone in a town called Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire. The same building but with the front fell off

Hmmmmmmmm mystery film from times unknown found in the Olympus Pen EE, finished off the last few shots to put a new roll in for half frame photo day.

In today's episode of "Chris please stop doing alternative processes and take a normal photo", I shot paper reversals! And I didn't fog the paper this time

These were shot on #Ilford multigrade V RC Glossy sheets and developed with the Ilford reversal method

The bright white shirts are blue and so show up extremely brightly on photo paper

I neglected to hide the #crewmate after finding it in the quoted post and so additional tasks were received.

The crewmate was found checking inventory in the larder.

New tasks have been received.
