Out the plane window in January, crossing the alps in a way Hannibal could only dream of...
I spent at least an hour of that flight with nose and camera pressed up to the window. Everyone else just sat reading the in flight magazine and drinking coffee. WTF is wrong with people?

You can get a cheapo flight to Pisa via Ryanair once you're safely ensconsed in the UK, m'dear
Definitely worth a visit... it was weird to go to Italy (which by my definition is a "hot place") in January, and find it was colder than Glasgow. But very lovely all the same

Trying a couple too
clicky
Antwerp's new court of justice. Love it but the gas station in front breaks it's gorgeousness a bit down I find
The liberation of the river Scheldt monument just down the street. Loved the mist and the fact you could just about distinguish the big (ex-)Alcatel building a bit further.
All phone-made, need to take a bit more time to actually get them sharp though I think

I sometimes like the fact that phone pics are a bit more "lo-fi". In the same way that film has certain character to it, this type of kit does too and it's noce to just acept it for what it is rather than wish it was something else.
Loving the pic, Z - a real sense of distance and depth.

it's even more fun processing and printing it plus it's the grainiest film I ever used and I used to use HP5 pushed to 1600 ASA

That's something I must do again - my first Holga film was pushed a stop or two and it really brought the grain out and some of those are my favourites taken so far.James Blast wrote:it's even more fun processing and printing it plus it's the grainiest film I ever used and I used to use HP5 pushed to 1600 ASA
The C41 processed Ilford XP2 Super I'm using now is great but you can't push it and it's quite fine grain. The only advantage is a very wide latitude exposure wise - it's very forgiving. When you have a rather random Holga that's a must
Actually, James, it makes me think to buy some HP5 too. I'm a big fan of Ilford over Kodak when it comes to black and white.

the only infrared I could get back then (late 70s early 80s) was Kodak's, and ye dae ken ye need a red filter tae get the full effect, especially on plants etc?

I need one, actually - a red filter with B&W film gives massive contrast and that's what I like.
