Fenland Camera and Darkroom workshops and co-host of The Lensless and the Large Format Photography Podcasts. Analogue Dreamer.
Posting mostly photo and darkroom thoughts and images.
With the close up filter (attachment) screwed on the lens you point the camera at the subject and press the shutter button having moved the lens to take parallax into account - estimating the 30cm seems to work ok.

Out with some Instax and a half frame camera - taking the highest reading from the highlights seems to work best.

Trying to get my PenEE to think itβs a Pentax 17 . At least I can focus to 40cm with this lovely little attachment.

Contact sheets serve many purposes. Partly as a guide as to how I nailed exposure (and EI setting) for a particular camera. The exposure time taken for the sprocket holes to virtually disappear becomes your standard time. Images too dark = camera under exposure, too light = camera overexposure.

What a brilliant week in the lovely Forest of Dean.
The caravan has been a godsend over the last 5 years, a wonderful way to explore the country relatively cheaply. Julie needs to address some work life issues and these breaks help her gain perspective.

Fed up with weight loss pills and medication and hocus pocus ads on FB.
50-60 years ago or more obesity in the developed world was nowhere near what it is today. People are less and exercised more. 18m ago I got off my bum and got a part time active job. Am lighter and fitter than ever.
