Olympus Pen EE2, canister of Fomapan 400, flat white coffee and teriyaki chicken rice bowl - Social Brew, Copenhagen.

So, I thought the Fomapan 400 was a short roll that I had used some of already. Seventy four “shots” later … it did finally feel like the end of the roll. 🙄🤔🤣

Wandering around Prague, happened to walk down a tiny cobblestone street and saw this shop. While talking to my mate about it, the guy came out to chat to us about his tintypes. What an amazing, interesting and engaging man and his equally beautiful dog. Honza Sakař(?)

Drat. Brought four rolls of 35mm (2 colour, 2 b&w) with me flying from Gatwick. Completely forgot to get them out of the carry on bag, so they have gone through the CT scanner. I guess I will see “experimental” results 🙄🤣

Cheers Gav. That's a whole day I can see disappearing 👍🏽😂

It's the smallest form factor of camera I own and should only sacrifice one pair of socks. Bearing in mind I have to fit seven days worth of clothes in as well 😂 plus, you never know, scouring the flea market I might get a #cccp Czech made camera 📸

Feeling the guilt now. I shall take my trustee XA2 plus a couple of colour 35mm rolls 👍🏽

I’m going to Prague, but not planning to take any film. Downside of budget airline travel is lack of luggage space 🤔🙄🤣

Ooh. Lanthanum. Impressive 👍🏼

Ooh, at least try a few shots ‘normally’ as I seem to remember really liking the colours as being jewel like on the lot I tried a few years back and I still have a few rolls in my fridge. Or was that the Truprint FG? 🤔

Very snazzy packaging for the film.

I feel your pain - black ice did for me as I turned around from taking a photo of some street art on a wall last night. Luckily, no bones broken and no harm occurred to iPhone nor camera.

Denmark 🇩🇰 or Denmark WA 🇦🇺? I’m guessing Western Australia 🤔🤣

City Airport? Love that it’s in my doorstep. Just a shame none of my upcoming destinations can be reached from LCY.

If at first you don't succeed ...

Give Up!!! There's no point being a damned fool about it 😄

That's the end of my flirtation with C41 home development (for now). I'm convinced that the developer is kaputt.

It was a beautiful afternoon here in Olde #London Town (as was yesterday). Therefore, obligatory #canarywharf #sunset #cocktail and #digital #iphone #photos. #bokan #novotel #holidayvibes Loved the cocktail. I feel slightly squiffy for a school night 🤔🤣 “the best camera is the one you have with you”

Thank you G. I'll describe it as serendipity 👍🏽😄

Thank you for your responses. I’ll have another attempt this evening with a 120 film that is unimportant (in case it’s the chemistry or a noob error on my part. I’ll also try to get the chemicals warmer to try to hit 39C more consistently.

Supposedly colour negative but showing no images, so either an issue with the camera, the chemicals or, far more likely, with me doing something wrong, lol

Calling home C41 developers. My first attempt is suboptimal. I see a tiny hint of possible images towards one end, and the information along the edges seems clear. Cs41 powder set, been sat around unopened as powder since 2019(I guesstimate?) mixed tonight. Not hot enough, out of date or camera?

A cocktail instead is always a good choice. 👍🏼

I'm going to be a complete copycat!!! 🤣

Absolutely fantastic, @georgeg.bsky.social - I think my favourite is the multiverse (? - actually, an apt description) iconic power station photo. 👍🏽

Just call me FomaMan 🤔🤣. 🎼🎵🎶 I see a red door and I want it painted black...

Photo of four boxes of 100iso 35mm, two boxes of 100iso 120, two canisters of 400iso orthochromatic 120 and a roll of unboxed 400iso orthochromatic 35mm laid out on a bag from the Photographers’ Gallery in Ramillies Place, London.

When late night idle internet scrolling has (to my wallet) dangerous real world consequences. But serendipitously, asking nicely got me the last unboxed 35mm #fomapan #ortho #orthochromatic “sold out” roll at the Photographers’ Gallery
