It is my opinion that some photographers mistakenly regard ILFORD HP5 PLUS and its predecessors to be a somewhat cheaper, lower quality response to Kodak’s Tri-X. I hope to demonstrate in this review that this assumption simply isn’t the case.
There’s much more to HP5 PLUS than meets the eye – something that regular shooters of this film will be more than aware of (you folks can leave now, nothing new here).
For those of you who haven’t shot this film before, this review will give you my tak...
We didn't set a theme for our first #ilfordfridayfavourites of this year, instead we've had fun browsing through the huge variety of images that you shoot using our film.
Below are just a small selection of some that caught our attention.
@AdyKerry One of the first pictures I took on my #Pentax67 with 135mm f4 at the Hockey World Cup 2014, using HP5. #believeinfilm
@NavalAirHistory The wonderful Bristol Scout of @ScoutBuilder at @StowAero taken on HP5 with a Voigtlander rangefinder camera

Now & again the perfect image is arrived at by good luck rather than good judgement.
Right place, right time? Double exposure? Film accidentally shot at the wrong speed? These are the shots that we asked you to share for this week's #ilfordfridayfavourites #lucky theme.
@mparry1234 Some very strange but pretty interesting flare anomaly on some 120 FP4+ works well with the shot i think
@rvallafoto I lived at the same place for years but only one time ...
Our XP2 SUPER film is fantastic for scanning as it works with Digital Ice so we had high hopes for this weeks #ilfordxp2 #fridayfavourites.
Did you know you can shoot XP2 SUPER at different speeds from 50 - 800 asa on the same roll and process as standard C41?

Thank you
In 2018, we invited the global analogue film photography community to take part in our latest film users survey. The survey, which attracted 2100 participants when it was last conducted in 2014, grew to over 6,800 participants from 100 countries this time around. This was largely due to the help received from the fantastic film community in sharing it far and wide on social media, blogs and forums, so thank you.
While many of the results are in line with the growth seen since the re-emergenc...
Towards the end of 2018 I was reviewing some of my Autumn film photography and feeling put off by the results.
I've been working with film for some now in an effort to take advantage of the superior dynamic range. And, when shooting in strongly backlit scenes to move away from silhouettes and ambiguity and towards a more controlled journalistic style.
Shades of Autumn
I found that because of the diffused cloudy conditions in London I was struggling with my exposures and the overall look of my images. T...
On April 15th in London, and many other locations around the world, a series of protests and demonstrations took place as an act of rebellion against systems of pollution and excess, which are causing rapid changes in the climate of our planet. I was aware that this rebellion would be taking place having attended a march a few days previous. I was excited to continue shooting in this environment and did not yet realise the scope of their action to unfold, or how rewarding it would end up being photographica...
We're heading into festival season and although wellies are the the 'go to' festival wear here in the UK, we know that some of your summers actually feature sunshine! For this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites we set the theme of #music.

In the summer of 2017 my friends, novice climbers, asked me to climb Elbrus with them. This is the highest mountain peak in Russia and Europe. The idea sounded great, especially because I have loved mountains since my childhood. But my campaign plan immediately included a large-format camera, with which I have been travelling for many years (mostly, of course, by car with a camera in the trunk).
For a while I wondered if I should take a big camera with me too. Would it be better to take a Hasselblad? But...
