#ilfordfridayfavourites #lucky
Now & again the perfect image is arrived at by good luck rather than good judgement.
Right place, right time? Double exposure? Film accidentally shot at the wrong speed? These are the shots that we asked you to share for this week's #ilfordfridayfavourites #lucky theme.
@mparry1234 Some very strange but pretty interesting flare anomaly on some 120 FP4+ works well with the shot i think

An unknown language
When I started in photography I was always put off from film, by the balance (in my mind anyway), between the effort and time taken out of my workflow in developing, and the rolling cost. As well as my dependence and already intimate comprehension of digital systems. Film was an unknown language, and not one I was prepared to learn at the time.
Expanding my understanding
Recently however I have been looking for different ways to expand my und...

An experiment in chemical possibilities
When I took up a camera after a few years’ hiatus in 1990, I was surprised to discover that I could no longer get a black & white film developed through the nearest camera shop, never mind through the local pharmacy. If memory serves, I was told it would cost $40 for a single film. Naturally, I returned to processing my own film just I had done when I first took up a camera in the early 1970s. The world had moved on, and colour film was the default medium f...

An Interest in Large Format
Large format is an immensely rewarding and enjoyable way to make a photograph. It can also feel overwhelming when you’re just starting out, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. This article is for anyone with an interest in large format.
I got into 4x5 because I wanted to challenge myself, and to try something new. Over the last two years it has become my favourite way to take a photograph. There’s something special about slowing down and being so deliberate with each...
