Jessi & Camera

Views around the South Stack lighthouse just off Ynys Gybi [Holyhead]

Is this my triumphant return to tumblr? Who knows. But I went to visit TSS Duke of Lancaster yesterday and I wanted to share the photos :)

Last macro post (for now) – a snail shell and some ants on a flower bud.

Macro cobwebs! I love how much detail is in these shots.

Bees!

I guess I do macro photography now.

Spring is here; flowers are blooming; polarising filters are showing their worth...

was out taking photos the other day – mostly on film – when I stumbled into what appears to be someone’s LARP site :)

From a roll of KONO Rotwild redscale film I shot back in January and just got processed. Wouldn’t want to use it all the time, but the colour shifts are amazing

Still to come: a B&W roll I shot the same day...

Made 6 identical prints, then sepia toned them to different degrees. (Top-left is an un-toned print for comparison. Please excuse the crummy job I did masking off the top-middle.)

Then used a DSLR to make a video of me flipping through them.

I know, I’ve not done a good job of uploading things lately, but I’m still playing around with cameras and chemicals and a darkroom, and I’m still enjoying all those things :)

set I put together for a zine on the theme of urban storytelling / neglected spaces / nooks and crannies

Yeah, I’ve really fallen behind on keeping this blog up to date. I guess it’s just gonna be sporadic posting from now on, at least for a while. Good archives though :)

I love textures in B&W
