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...

Heading West
Last September my family and I headed west. It had been a few years since we’d visited the West Country, we had come to love it when our family was young, and now that they were grown we decided to return to see if it still has a special place in our hearts.
While my teenagers packed their essentials - clothes and iPhones, and my other half packed enough books to keep a large reading group going, I set about doing the important task of packing my camera equipment.
My focus was on which...
It's been so much fun this week looking through all of the #fridayfavourites #filtered shots and finding out out what your favourite combinations are. The most popular combinations that we've seen are FP4+ with a yellow filter and HP5+ with and orange. There were also some fantastic shots on SFX with a variety of red filters.
It was a tough choice, but these are this week's favourites.

This week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites put our #kentmerefilm in the spotlight. After seeing some of the great images that you shared with us, we wonder why we haven't done this before.
Manufactured here in Mobberley, our Kentmere films undergo the same high quality processes used to make our ILFORD Photo range.

Beginnings
I came to analog photography late. I enjoy being able to feel the film and create with my hands, and the suspense of not knowing how the final shots look until you develop the film. Shooting film changes the style of how I work. I take less pictures and think more. It is more immersive, I have more time to feel their characters, their experiences.
I shoot all my projects in medium format film. I do use digital, but only for commercial photography or for working on reports.
