More from Great Yarmouth with the YashicaMat




Took the YashicaMat 124G out for a spin, loaded with Ilford FP4.
Ivy's "Noted Teas Shop" has been there for years, goodness knows how they continue to make money. Likewise Pertwee and Back, the local Ford Garage.
The bonus was spotting BONO in disguise feeding the pigeons!

Keep it Analogue

Couple more darkroom prints from last Summer's holiday in Skiathos.
We'd been on a boat trip round the island and now were wandering around the old town.
Still amazed at the way the 10 year old developer has handled these exposures.

10 Year Old Developer


Back in the darkroom after a lull of a few months where everything became "instant".
During our summer holiday to Skiathos I took just one camera, my Yashicamat 124G twin lens reflex TLR, loaded with Ilford FP4...keep it simple stupid is such a good mantra.
The daytime sun was very direct and contrasty but the FP4 handled it well enough (see picture of chair).
When I finally got round to developing this roll of film a week or so ago I realised I was out of my usual developer but found a 10 year old botttle of Agfa Rodinal. Now I have heard that this developer is long lasting, even when it looks like gravy brownings, which this did. Crossed my fingers, diluted 1:25 and 9 mins in the tank.
Printed under my Meopta Magnifax enlarger with a Companon 105mm lens onto Ilford MG rc paper.

The darkroom bug is back......
