The passion My passion for cycling has fuelled this project, Riding the Boards surveys cycle velodromes across the United Kingdom, these spaces are a hallowed ground for cyclists. Memories Competitively the race depends on a good start, it can be won or lost at the first corner. However the curves on the circuit; the corners, the banking, the lines, are the vital parts in the making of a velodrome track. The projects main interest became the view of the first corner, from the start line. Framing the ...

A popular technique for getting the best from your prints in the darkroom. This week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme was #splitgradeprint. @BlkWhiteFilmPix How did I split grade print this night photo I made on #ilfordphoto Delta 3200 film ? https://youtu.be/9ex-b6_OxEo #fridayfavourites #splitgradeprint #Paris   @JamesPearson #splitgradeprint from a tricky to print negative. Grade 00 for 38s and grade 1 for 11s. Then two minutes burning of the window (that was hard work). @ILFORDPho...

It’s weird, if not taboo to tell someone that I learnt to shoot digital before learning how to shoot film. I guess this may be the case for many of us in the digital era of photography. My journey into photography is what I like to call a beautiful accident or a series of fortunate events. When a photographer cancelled last minute for a charity event organised by a close friend of mine in 2017 I found myself stepping in to fill the spot. I knew absolutely nothing about photography, how to use a DSLR or ev...

So many beautiful shots to choose from for this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites #myfavouritefilm theme. It seems you all have your favourites and after looking at some of the images that you shared with us, we can see why. @RyanHK_ I think HP5+ is my all-time favorite... No other film has its latitude or versatility. I've shot it as low as ISO50 & up to ISO3200. #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites #myfavouritefilm   ps_alpine_photo Trevor Hunt on Chatyn-Tau (4412m) SE couloir (1800m, 4...

A Covid-19 Isolation Photography Series Before and After is a photography series that features the abandoned streets of Toronto captured during the coronavirus pandemic. During lockdown I spent four months isolated in a small apartment downtown and had the majority of my life put on pause. When phase 1 of reopening started I was eager to get back outside, to get back to normal life. Much to my surprise when I left my apartment, the streets were completely abandoned. It was a surreal version of our new r...

Well you have certainly kept us busy today. This has been by far the most popular #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme that we have had for a while. We have spent a lot of time going through your #filmpeople shots this morning and have finally narrowed our favourites down to the ones below.

Toby Van de Velde takes centre stage this week as the 29th interview in our In Focus series. He was nominated by John Whitmore back in September who described him as 'Constantly producing wonderful analogue images.' Section 1 - Background Share your favourite image / print shot on ILFORD film and tell us what it means to you? This is a tricky one to answer. Narrowing it down is nigh on impossible. This is a recent favourite from a couple of months ago, shot on Kentmere Pan 400, shot in my Billora Bell...

A chronic case of GAS To cut a long story short. In a previous life, i.e. before kids, I suffered a chronic case of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) and ended up as the proud owner of a Richard Ritter 7x17” Ultra Large Format View Camera. As every GAS sufferer believes, buying your way out of limited talent is the only path to follow. The plan was to produce stunning panoramic negatives for Platinum/Palladium contact printing. The combination of huge negatives, old school contact printing and expensive em...
