The Story of Harman Phoenix:

As a newbie this film was always going to be a wild card and I did really struggle to get anything decent in low light, but I like how the rest turned out - warm and grungey. I think with more knowledge/experience you could get a lot of fun and unexpected variations from just one roll. Will try again!
I'm ashamed to say that I've had this roll of Phoenix loaded in my Nikon F for a while. I blame it on the British weather. Finally got around to using it on an overcast day and didn't hold a lot of hope for the results. Oh was I wrong. This film is excellent. It picks out the reds in particularly and really makes them bloom. I'm not really a colour shooter but I would recommend this new film from Ilford. If this is the first experimental batch I can't wait to see the improvements
A very unique warm tone that in the right conditions was really pleasing. I definitely wouldn't be shooting it at ISO 200 as the shadows just seem to fall right off, but shooting it at ISO 125 seemed to help with this while still keeping a warm and contrasty image.
It's probably not for everyone, and I think some cheaper stocks like Gold, Ultramax and ColorPlus probably have it beaten currently, but I can definitely see it's future potential and it's well worth shooting if you like more abstract and creative tones in your work!
Decided to load the film into a point and shoot, to see how it coped with a more basic camera, and took it out on a sunny day.
well I was suitably impressed by the pops of colour - especially the reds and green tones. Reminds me of album covers for some reason 😊
After getting my first roll of this developed I realized its something very special. Repeating what others have said it's not as precise and well rounded as more traditional film, but certainly creates very interesting results. A lot of my own photographs are used as references for paintings, so I love that it captures things a more accurate exposure would miss. Because of this I would say keep a roll of this on hand for when you want something intense and unpredictable, just be aware that theres a wild animal in your camera that you can't fully tame!
