Don't worry, Gianluca. It's a genuine English word, just one that isn't in common use.

I really like the minimalism of this. Also thanks for a new word: pluvial. I must remember to slip that into a conversation sometime!

Just how I like things: black blacks, white whites and all the tones in between. Great stuff, Gary!

It's worth a try sometime. Actually it works very well with Fomapan 100 as per the recommended instructions. The combination of a traditional emulsion and a traditional developer I guess.

Oh dear, Gary. Another hole I seem to have dug myself in replying to comments. Hahaha, that throw away line wasn't at all intended as bait. But as you've asked here goes. Like many who stick to the old ways I've come to treat given developing times and instructions a bit like ready meal cooking...

Well I must say I find that surprising, Shaun. A sign of changing attitudes perhaps. It's been a few years since we last attended a forties event but we used to on a regular basis. I recall only once having received a 'no'. Embracing the spirit of things may have helped though because we used to...

Nice work, Shaun. Those sort of events are always great for character studies. Hassle free too as people expect to be noticed and photographed.

Welcome, Gareth. Take a look around the place and feel free to comment. Above all post some of your work, it's always interesting to see what others get up to.

Thanks very much, Gary, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Although this walk was a new one on me there are several others that I take on a regular basis. I'm always surprised that no matter how often I take them there's always something different to see or learn. I'll get round to posting a few...

Thanks for commenting at length. Gianluca. It really is much appreciated and is what forums should be for. I completely understand your point of view and agree that.... The problem is that when dealing subject matter that includes an historical context unfortunately war and conflict or their...

Thanks for this comment, Gianluca. I rather think we are both moving along the same lines. Often I have a specific project in mind which can sometimes take months to complete. This is an example, https://www.35mmc.com/05/01/2025/orwells-greenwich-a-photo-essay/ On the other hand some seem to...

Thanks, Beth. I can't take any credit for the buildings though!

Thanks, Pete. Series of photos stitched together with an historical narrative is something I'm finding myself increasingly attracted to. I find the research involved just as interesting as getting out and about a camera in the first place.

Here in the UK there is an open air museum dedicated to displaying old buildings, small to be sure, that have been painstakingly dismantled and then reassembled. Interestingly enough there's one there that my father played a small part in saving. He was a civil engineer and the road project he...

That didn't even occur to me. The perception of age is related to context and location. This log church is a survivor of a certain time and place and deserves to be appreciated as such.
