David Fincher liked it
āShoreās work has been a personal inspiration from my earliest interaction with it. With Modern Instances , I am humbled to have his profound insight into the rigorous over-thinking that made it possible. This insight, delivered with such clarity, grace, and humility, will no doubt affect how you make or appreciate photographs ā it might even alter how you see.ā David Fincher
This is really ace dude. Lovely to see the full set like that. Congrats

Just cancelled my flickr pro account. Iāve not uploaded anything to there in over ten years, and I donāt really use the social stuff at all, so there wasnāt much point paying for it anymore.
Even though Iāve still got my free account, it feels like the end of an eraā¦

Iāve cycled to gigs in cold wet weather and had my lenses covered in condensation when I got them out at the other end, and theyāve been fine. I think most lenses arenāt weather offically sealed, but can cope with a bit of a splash

Me, my camera and the lens got soaked taking this photo. I was crouched down in the surf, thinking at that point the power of the waves had gone, when a massive breaker washed over me when I was looking inland. That was with my 35mm f2, which is one of my cheapest flimsiest lenses

Is it for getting 35mm onto a 120 spool?

Yep. I donāt use my medium format nearly enough, so I thought Iād try this. Only a tenner - less than a roll of film these days - so not a great loss if itās a disaster
Iāve got theseā¦but never actually tried them yet
Iāve only been using black and white cause I canāt afford any colour at the moment. Definitely encourages me to take more pictures.
So, I accidentally redscaled my first roll of film using these. Initially I thought it was down to the expired film I used, and then I remembered that redscale is just normal film exposed from the other side. Hey ho - you live and learn. Maybe Iāll get the next film right
Iād also rather have had the photos as landscape rather than portrait, but I guess thatās a factor of how my bronica advances the film. I suppose I could put the camera on a tripod and rotate it 90 degrees, but what a ballache

Just looking at those Kodak price increases for March
Japan apparently so I donāt know if thatāll be the same in other places? Iām seeing a lot of people using low megapixel digital cameras (me too) so maybe thatāll ease off the demand for film?
Probably a great time to buy up lots of cheap digital point and shoots from the early 2000s and sell them on Depop for lots more.
what are the 2 numbers and are they american dollars?
I havenāt bought film for a few years and I feel like Iām losing my mindā¦ Ā£18 seems to be the going rate for a roll of portra?! what has happened here? it was like max Ā£6 a roll last time I checkedā¦
seems like B&W isnāt as badly affected - HP5 still around Ā£8/roll
The big film producers decided that the market was shrinking, so reduced their capacity to output. Except it wasnāt reducing at all, meaning that supply was massively restricted as a result. And when demand massively outstrips supply, they can get away with raising prices like thisā¦
