North Norfolk Coast

[Shaun Haselden]

These are a few shots taken during 2015 whilst visiting Burnham Deepdale and Burnham Overy Staithe in Norfolk. I just love this place so much. Shot using my then Mamiya RB67 with standard lens onto Kodak Tmax 100 film which was then developed in Paterson FX39.

Wonderful. Less processed, it seems, than your digital shots, they have an earthiness to them which I like a lot. Very fine shots, Shaun.

Thank you Rob, your comments are appreciated and yes, my digital shots are far more graphic than my silver halide shots. It is at times like these that I wish I hadn't removed the more traditional form of photography from my life. I love the older style of imaging a great deal with its limited depth of field due to the size of the format and I love the soft, delicate tones that it gives. If I were to reinvent things yet again, I would prefer to use Fuji Acros 100 or maybe Ilford FP4+ in Tetenal Neofin Blue. Now there's a temptation for me.

I had an RB67 Pro SD, with good lenses, but sold the lot. I never got anything like as good as you have here. And it was very cumbersome. I hope you share more, Shaun.

Very nice set. The first Old Boat shot is my favorite.

 

[Pete Askew]

Super stuff, Shaun. It give a really good feeling of the place I think.

[Shaun Haselden]

Thank you so much for your positivity and support. Regarding my silver halide photography, I specifically used a wide aperture to maintain a shallow depth of field so that my photographs would keep an old time look reminiscent of my favourite old images. I also shot using 6X7 cm to limit DOF even more. I love the mid tones that this format captures but wish I had used Fuji Acros 100 film in place of T Max 100, Acros being my favourite.
