Right, back from hols - where are we at? Pete, we can always email xenforo for support if need be...? email me if you like

Cheers, yep, it's on the bugs list

In case it wasn’t obvious, 35mmc is going to be down for the night and some of the day tomorrow. The website is still totally intact and fine, but the devs have taken backups of various databases and so as to avoid any potential loss of content changes or comments etc, we have decided to keep it...

Hi all, I thought I would start a thread here just to keep people in the loop about the big 35mmc update. It has begun, so the current status is that the website is in maintenance mode and cannot be accessed. It is expected to take all of today, but might also creep into tomorrow. If it does...

I thought I would respond to the recent topic about real photographers with an example of what I see as real photography within my own work. Real photography for me is summed up almost entirely by intent. That is to say, if a person picks up a camera and imagines what they are going to take...

Hi Dave 😊

Nice! It looks perfect on my phone, and I bet it does much bigger too!

My favourite colour film is Portra 800. Sucks to be me.
