I really did wonder what kind of magic was being sold with these spuds as this queue is always snaking across the square.

A site I'm now intimately familiar with for family outings, a lovely sunny day and playing around with monochrome shooting.

Taken with a Pentax KS-1 and Tamron 500SP mirror. A relaxing breather in the local butterfly house gives some rewarding chances for portraits.

Lake shores and wooded surroundings always give me a sense that a location can be magnetic in monochrome.

Just a handful of shots capturing a couple of features I've overlooked in the past

I'm going to preface this with a friendly note that I'll remove the post if it's not appropriate, but I thought I'd share a bitter tasting experience I've just come across on eBay. Advertised my Nikon F2 and 50 1.4 lens, got an offer which I accepted. Noticed when I came to post that the...

I chanced upon this little one whilst walking home, seemed near the end of life so I planned to place them in my garden on the buddleia. A chance to record some close up details of a month wasn't about to go amis. This was a touch dramatic, yet I felt reflected the texture and strange...

Not often I chance upon some spontaneous duality. Pentax KS-1 and Senheil Munchen Cassarit 50mm f.2.8.

I guess scepticism can indeed lead to luck, which is partly the reason for the thread title. The other is the disparity in form of two recent acquisitions following a lucky antiques store find. A Pentacon 300 f.4 and a Steinhell Munchen Cassarit 50 f.2.8 preset followed me home, the...

My family took a shine to bird watching over the last couple of years, and we are fortunate to have some excellent RSPB sites nearby. I've never had the funds to feel the draw of wildlife photography, seemingly such costly lenses with every possible enhancement of tech was needed. I would watch...

Feeling like I've just been taken back to my highschool days and walked in late to class in the am...how's everyone been? I've been exploring two highly regarded 35mm cameras lately, despite thinking I was done with the format. These were taken on a Topcon RE Super with the RE Auto 200 5.6...

Good morning all! I've had a couple of rolls as per the title which I knew had blank frames due to a wind on issue with my Mamiya C3. Not wanting to waste more cash and having some Pyro around....I thought...why not 😁 I'll share image of the negatives and pics later, but suffice to say as a...

Shot at ISO 400 on OM-1 and Tamron SP90. Scanned with Sigma SD15 and EX DG Macro 50 f.2.8 I like the palette and effect of this stock, it's capable of revealing details that wouldn't be picked out by a more traditional colour negative stock, almost IR like details such as the venation on the...

Roaming the seaside town shooting at 1.4 with the Takumar 50mm. Trash talking across the generations Street shopping to prepare for the apocalypse It was nice to see Jim at the end of the day! I'm impressed with this lens, it's got a character that's different to the 55mm f.2 I have...

Continuing the monochrome IR shooting, this is from one of my favourite nature spots in the local area.

Revisiting my Sigma's ability for easy IR shooting at a local festival this weekend. Using the IR filter attached rendering the viewfinder relatively useless made for some fun zone focused hip shooting.

A candid photo with limited details may be a new aesthetic for me to explore, I've had interest in using soft filters before, but the look hasn't quite been to taste.

Rebellion festival has once again taken over the Blackpool Winter Gardens and the town is awash with colour and personality. Considering how socially conscious most punks are, there's a true feeling to me of camaraderie here with a forgotten holiday resort and it's kin.

Capturing this little guy in possibly the cleanest macro shot I've had from a single shot. Something about sunny moments in summer always make me want to see the smallest details in the world. Using my beloved Sigma SD15 and the 50mm macro lens. I maintain my view, there is something magical...
