Heroic was the thought going through my mind as I decided to take the shots Pete- that lamb commanded some presence.

Haha I was in somewhat of a rush Gary, the two split as I clicked the shutter 😁

The wonder of spring time and the next generation of fluffy life in the fields. A welcomed scene from a canal wander with a pre-set Takumar 135mm that’s quite impressed me.

I’m discovering this noir dripped shot thanks to a more recent post you linked this to Pete, and wow is this inspiring!

Shaun, what did you use taking this shot? I have piers and sunken walkways similar to this near me, and always find I fluff the composition and renders are never quite as I imagine them. Regardless, mood is one of a lighthouse guide that never returned home.

Crisp and sharp render Gary, glad to see the Rollei is out and about with you on travels. That moose and the closed sign shack are my faves of the shots. Any plans for the next outing? I’d encourage shooting some choice scenes wide open- fantastic separation is possible with these.

The Cointreau bottles really feel of a time passed-they bring back memories of Taboo and Mirage, Midori and Pisang Ambon- the memories of those drinks smells and taste, as vivid as the colours. Great pair Aldous.

This is exactly my mindset for this camera- plays nicely with m42 mount lenses as well.

I feel the same Peter, portrait is what I often find my eyes drift to for orientation, quite often see my best compositions come from this in 35mm Congrats on the camera find- a friend of mine gave me his dads, and coincidentally it was the camera I had from my dad many years before- never my...

Nice experimentation Gary- the palette is quite UV- you chose a good scene to accentuate the effect.

I would be game to try some less than good weather with the HP5+ Gary, it responds kindly to dull light and overcast skies- maybe that’s what’s led to popularity in the UK 😅

Thank you Pete, I’d be interested to hear what memories stick in your mind from the southern coast of your past- it’s certainly a surprise how much time has changed my perspective on Blackpool as growing up in and around it sowed a seed of determination to get the hell out of dodge- yet here I...

Thanks Gianluca, the detectorist was an entertaining fellow and turned out to have a few box brownies, though loved onto drones

A few recent TLR shots to share with the series. Never cared much for HP5, but maybe I wasn’t appreciative of its tonal flexibility. And speaking of flexibility- 120 film is great for scenes within scenes.

Exquisite Tony- vibrant dahlias look incredible standing alone in the black.
