I must have been testing something when I shot a series of flowers out the garden earlier in the year.
Possibly a developer / film or lens before selling it.
I do know they were on my eos1n
But here are some of them to cheer us all on a Sunday morning

I do the odd drone up in the sky kind of thing as well.
Tonight, Sighthill Bridge Glasgow.
This is as high as I can legally fly. I was pretty windy up there according to the drones sensors. I did try a hyperlapse but there was movement due to the ferocity of the wind....

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.
Edinburgh old town.

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)

Old and new buildings on one of Glasgow's corners (Ingram at Hanover and GOMA on Queen St in the background)
The widelux bending everything around it.

The remjet is on the back rather than the emulsion side.
Didn’t look like this after the pre wash ?
So you do the pre wash, shake about drain, then add water to rinse it off?
Then after the fix and rinse has been done
Remove it all from the reels and run it through your fingers in water.

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.

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

Someone asked me recently how much remjet stays on the reels. Sorry I can’t remember who it was.
This gives a fair assessment of 500t

250d always comes out with more on the film and more on the reels..
but we aren’t talking a lot on the reels. But it is more..

The remjet remover goes in and then comes out
You think nothings happened
Then you put it near water and boom.
Remover stays clean
Couple of washes and it goes in clean to the developer

Oh no
They are still going and still throwing tantrums towards customers on Facebook 😂
Doesn’t ship to the USA just now
But if you want to buy his lovely cameras and support his stinking attitude they are still there 😂
Screen grab for reference

This should see me through a quick round the subway and maybe some stop off points today with the Widelux and the Xpan
2 of the best 35mm pano cameras

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.
