James BlackwoodWho doesn’t love the gear acquisition bug?? May have treated myself to a <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Linhof?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linhof</a> Technika to save lugging the heavier thing around for some quicker shots. So far I love it but the lens it came with has a few limitations and some really nice quirks. <br> <br> Test photos on expired film and it’s come out nice. The Carisbrooke castle photo is on my trusty but heavy AF monorail Toyo. Must. Develop. The. Slide. Film. I keep blaming the delay in processing on needing a million bottles for the chemicals (it’s not cheap, doesn’t keep and mixes in the wrong final amount for me). That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it, and it’s nothing to do with a total loss of confidence in myself on that front. <br> <br> Must remember focussing loupe though. That’s essential. 🤦<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/largeformatphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#largeformatphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/toyo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toyo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/linhof_munich?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linhof_munich</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/linhoftechnika?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linhoftechnika</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fomapan100?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fomapan100</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ishootfilm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ishootfilm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/analoguephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#analoguephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bnw?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bnw</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackandwhite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhite</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/4x5?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#4x5</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/5x4?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#5x4</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/isleofwight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#isleofwight</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pureislandhappiness?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pureislandhappiness</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/architecture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cowes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cowes</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/carisbrookecastle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carisbrookecastle</a>
