Sharing my skills
I’ve recently started working as a lecturer on BTEC and HND photography courses at Swindon College. A job which I’m enjoying immensely. Teaching was something I’d never considered before, until I started helping friends who were studying on the same BA Photography course as me. I enjoyed helping them but most of all I enjoyed seeing them understand and use the skills that I’d shown them.
I now teach mainly 16 – 20-year-olds, which is enormously satisfying. Watching thei...

When we set you this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme of #nighttime we were expecting the majority of the images to be on our faster films, however, we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of you choosing to shoot some of our slower speed films in low light conditions too.

This week we shared our latest 'How to' video on YouTube which is all about our range of photographic darkroom papers. As we knew this was coming, we thought we'd tie in this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme of #rcprint.

Today's #handsonfilm must have been a tough #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme as we saw far fewer images than we usually do. However the ones that you shared with us were great.

Some subjects seem to go hand in hand with black and white film photography and boats in one of them. Which is why we chose #boatsonfilm for this week's #ilfordphoto #fridayfavourites theme.

Six Weeks Ago
It started six weeks ago. A Sinar Norma 4x5 Large Format Camera off eBay arrives and my paper negative journey begins.
I had spent the previous weeks poring over the in-depth forums and articles on large format photography, now it was time to put it into practice. My first shoot was on ILFORD MGRC paper. I hastily sat a teddy bear on a table, pointed 2 x 400 watt Elinchrom strobes and a 400 watt continuous light and fired. So 1200 watts in total at 1/30 of a second, that should do it. Flas...

It's been a couple of weeks since we set you the friday favourites theme of #fallfilm and what a beautful selection of images you shared for us to choose from.
