A grainy, black-and-white landscape photograph captures a row of multi-story terraced houses lined along a riverbank. The architecture features prominent gables, chimneys, and bay windows, characteristic of classic European townhomes. A wooden fence and sparse shrubbery separate the buildings from a narrow walkway at the water's edge. In the center, a tall, dark evergreen tree stands out against the pale sky. The calm, dark river in the foreground provides a near-perfect, slightly blurred reflection of the entire scene, creating a symmetrical composition. The image has a soft focus and heavy film grain, evoking a moody, nostalgic atmosphere.

That's lovely! How did I miss that's it Polaroid week? 🤦‍♂️

Polaroid Week — celebrating instant film and the global community behind it.

A quartet of images from a recent mooch around a cars and coffee event. Old cars are so much more photogenic than the modern ones we all drive these days!

A low-angle, eye-level shot captures a modern, multi-story office building with a pale gray facade and large, rectangular windows. In the foreground, a concrete accessibility ramp with metal railings zigzags upward toward an entrance. Below the ramp, a white concrete retaining wall is marked with light blue graffiti and fronted by a narrow planter containing sparse green grass and weeds. This planter is bordered by a dark brown brick wall that sits adjacent to an asphalt road. On the left, a leafy green tree partially frames the stark, institutional architecture, emphasizing a sterile, urban atmosphere.

IKR! My DIY is non existant but I was wondering if that was press fit plumbing? Don't seem legit to me...

A vertical, eye-level shot captures the utilitarian rear of a brown brick building. Three large, grey plastic Veolia dumpsters sit in the foreground on cracked asphalt marked with "LOADING." On the brick wall behind them, a chaotic cluster of grey electrical conduits erupts from a wooden housing, sweeping upward and to the right like a frozen wave. To the right of this mess is a large, rectangular patch of lighter-colored bricks where a window was likely filled. A weathered pink door, security cameras, an ADT alarm box, and a slatted metal vent complete the industrial scene.

A vertical, eye-level shot captures a galvanized steel Altron utility pole centered perfectly against a blooming cherry blossom tree. The tree’s thick, dark branches spread symmetrically behind the pole, heavy with dense clusters of pale pink and white flowers that create a canopy across the upper frame. In the background, a red brick wall and house with white-shuttered windows are visible. To the left sits a weathered grey electrical box. The composition is strikingly balanced, juxtaposing the cold, industrial textures of the metal and brick against the soft, organic explosion of springtime flora.

Always great to jump in and see how we got here and where it goes 🍿

Yay! Great to see you here. Been waiting for some images from your RF645. Lovely.

A high-angle street view captures the architectural contrast between the Brutalist Brooke Lawrance House and a modest residential dwelling. To the left, the massive multi-story office building features a repetitive concrete grid of windows and a prominent white entrance portico. In the foreground, a paved sidewalk curves alongside a multi-lane road toward the right. Occupying the right foreground is a two-story red brick house with a white door numbered "29" and a small patch of green lawn. Mature green trees soften the transition between the imposing grey commercial structure and the traditional domestic architecture.

Secrets of the Darkroom | Alfred Buckham YouTube video by nationalgalleries

Amazing images and a hugely creative artist. Darkroom skills to die for. Most people couldn't do this as well in Photoshop. Doing it in the darkroom is insane.

A large, modern glass curtain wall reflects a distorted streetscape, creating a surreal, liquid-like effect. On the left, a tall, white building with numerous windows appears to melt in wavy patterns. Below it, a traditional brick structure with dark-framed windows is similarly warped. To the right, scaffolding on a building under construction and a sleek, dark skyscraper are visible through the shimmering reflections. The glass panels of the foreground building are divided by a grid of thin lines and silver fasteners, layering a sharp geometric structure over the fluid, dreamlike urban environment.

Been a while. Look who's back...

For THIS?

I don't hate it... I love it! I'm yet to try any handheld Trichromes. I must rectify that, but obviously not with the Big Boi 😂

Thanks @hazeleyecrow.bsky.social! Do you want a postcard of it as thanks?!?

Oh man! My OCD is bugging the hell out of me with this stuck on 99. Someone please tick it over or everybody unlike it so I can get on with my day 😂

Nice! What focal length?

Yeah. It's an "odd" focal length given X100VI is 35mm equiv.

It would great to use one for a while to see how it "fits". It felt good in the hand and I'm unsure about the FL also. I like wide mostly, but I don't think 28mm is my go to. Not wide enough... With 100mb there's plenty of room to crop but angle of view etc....

High-angle studio shot of a black Fujifilm GFX 100 RF medium-format mirrorless camera, showcasing its sleek, rangefinder-style body. The design features a textured leatherette grip and prominent tactile top-plate dials for shutter speed and exposure compensation. Mounted is a compact prime lens with a knurled focus ring and a large, square metal lens hood. The "FUJIFILM GFX 100 RF" branding is clearly visible in white and red text. Set against a minimalist white background, the lighting highlights the matte finish and professional build of this high-resolution, large-sensor camera.

Fujifilm were in today running us through their cameras and lenses. The GFX 110 Tilt Shift is insane but this little bad boi stole my heart 🥰
