Finally Getting to Glastonbury Tor [Ilford XP2 Super 400]

Images shot on JCH Street Pan 400 in the Lomo LC-A It’s been a while since I shot any JCH Street Pan 400. So long has it been in fact that I don’t even know if it’s being made anymore. At the time of writing, the places I’d usually order some from … Read more

Images shot on Ilford Pan F Plus 50 in the Lomo LC-A Shooting fluid scenes with moving subjects in changeable lighting conditions – i.e. out in the streets – with an ISO 50 film is not recommended. Don’t get me wrong with that wording. I’m not recommending that you don’t do it. … Read more

Images shot on Ilford FP4 Plus 125 in the Lomo LC-A The sun was out and I wanted to shoot some film. I didn’t really care what film, or with which camera, or even where to shoot it. All I knew was I didn’t want to waste the good light … Read more

Images shot on Ilford HP5 Plus 400 in the Lomo LC-A When I lived in Shanghai, wandering around with my Yashica Electro and shooting in the streets was my number one creative pastime. For some reason though, when I came back to England I didn’t feel so keen to walk … Read more
