The metal horizont camera is so bad it's nearly good.... nearly but not quite
I might be one of the hosts on the @llfpodcast.bsky.social podcast but I like my lo-fi without light leaks :-P

A photo from years ago that came up on my facebook feed.
I think it was digitally captured.

Motherwell Concert Hall.
Scheduled at some point for demolition due to RAAC concrete.
Such a shame, it is a cracking looking building of its type.

Building in Glasgow
These were shot at F11 instead of f2.8.. (4 stops)
However the crazy dynamic range of Kodak 500T allowed me to pull what images from failure.
initially rated at 800 I increased the time in the chems to compensate even more. #widelux #fiomphotography

The PIZZA CROLLA Buchanan St Glasgow
I used to get my lunch out of here regularly, this was when I worked in the city centre as a youngster. Now looking at the sign, it wasn't long open then! (over 40 years family owned)

I am getting more used to the restrictive view from the Xpan by comparison to the Widelux.
The Widelux is fabulous in the world of subway stations. The Xpan is better if you are standing further back but still want to retain an intimacy (of sorts)

The Paraphernalia of homelessness. Glasgow under the M74 at Shields Road.
I made sure there was no one in the sleeping bags before taking the shot. I noticed the graffiti which took me down here, then I spotted these.

Just scanning some images from inside a dark building I shot on the widelux.
I only realised when I came back out that I had dialled the fstop to f11 not f2.8
The film was already being rated at 800 rather than 4…
That’s a fair few stops to recover…
Which it hasn’t 😂
Well not perfectly..

Some more Widelux subway magic, this was from yesterday
500T at 800 f6.
I love how the Widelux can simultaneously show something moving but still. Kinning Park station, with its pink walls

I got into a bit of a stooshie with Zero image on Facebook after I called out their appalling tantrum to a customer over a $11 PayPal fee & not shipping to the USA.
They never replied just blocked me then started a new thread calling me out 😂
I posted about it in a Facebook group not the first time

Glasgow Subway.
West Street.
A little bit under exposed which brought out the grain somewhat. But it just makes the whole place look even more creepy :-P

I made a wee case for the Xpan ii .
I originally cut it for the Xpan, but given the general condition of its paint I wasn’t motivated to finish. Last night I cut the rest & finished
A mixture of leathers.
It is to protect the camera and look a wee bit scruffy.
😂

I don't tend to go anywhere near the inside of old buildings, but an open door called to me and in I went.
It is obvious I need to pay more attention to zone focus
Or go back with a 35mm on a 17mm lens
Or pay attention & take a tripod. It was pretty dark.
Or probably both :-P
