hot white light

so took this in a little Adox folder to the bright bright light of Athens in the summer, and boy did it work. fine grain super detailed flim. white limestone with a glaring sun is unforgiving but this film was fab.

Great Studio film

I shot this in my improvised studio, (kitchen shelf) of a small statue ornament that I had aquired, Exposure range 1/15 10 1 sec at F8 ( metered exposure !/15) the resulting images all looked good and minor deviation round the metered exposure worked however the one second exposure produced major grain. Developed in Rodinal at 1:50 for 15min. When the exposure is set correctly the image is smooth and very fine grained. It is definitely a film I will return to

Cool for Cats

This was a random pick from the shelves while browsing in the bookshop at the Photographers Gallery in London (which also sells film, photo pickers). In the spirit of, "oh I haven't tried that before, I'll give it a go" I added a few rolls to my bag. Some I shot in Glasgow, on a day when the weather threw everything at me (typical West of Scotland weather!) and some I used during a favourite walk round a pond in my local woods.
The tonality feels very different from many modern films (and I've used a lot of different films since I started taking pictures in the early 80s)-I'd describe it as smoother, richer, as having more depth. You could describe it as that old school thick emulsion look-if you used emulsions like Panatomic -X or Verichrome Pan then you'll love this one. For my initial experiments, I've been developing it in ID-11 1+1, but I really trying it with tanning and staining developers like PMK Pyro, Moersch Finol and Pyrocat HD. Verichrome Pan in PMK was a big favourite of mine , so a slower fine grain emulsion like Catlabs should be an excellent match. Oh, and I've had no backing paper issues with any of the dozen or so rolls I've shot-overall I would definitely use this film again, especially if I can get my hands on a few boxes of 5x4! Just pick a sunny day or take a tripod though as it's ISO 80 not my usual 400.

A Familiar Film In A New Guise

As has already been remarked, this film is Shanghai GP3. It’s a traditional, medium speed film that I’ve always found to be pleasant and predictable to use. I haven’t shot it for a while because it went through a phase of poor quality control - the ink from the dots on the backing paper left marks on the emulsion.

These problems seem to be in the past and I enjoyed using it. If you like traditional emulsions I can recommend it.

Rewrapped Shanghai GP3

Or at least the little piece of the sticky tape on the end says so. AW does not carry GP3, so I guess a good source if you want to try it? Shanghai is good film.
