My Iceland film photo collection is getting pretty good! By which I mean that this is my fourth set of film photos of Iceland and it’s also possibly the best set so far. Winter 2024 was in black and white and not nearly as high-contrast as I dreamed. Summer 2025 was with my grandad’s massive … More Iceland on film (June 2026 edition)
35mm film photos are very hit and miss. The pictures from Málaga are pretty terrible; quite dark and all the shadows tinted green, the pictures from Helsinki are a bit overexposed (blame the snow) and 17 are missing altogether and most of the pictures from Switzerland in January are a bit dark. But the pictures … More Denmark on film
I meant to send off the films for the trips to Spain and Iceland at the same time but because I never manage to take a full roll (36 photos in a week, far too hard!), the Iceland won’t be ready to go for another month or so and I didn’t want to wait another … More Málaga on film
Having got a bit out of the habit of using the film camera that I carry everywhere I go, I was determined to get through a whole roll of film in Finland. I managed something in the late 20s out of my 36 exposures and used the last 8 in London last weekend but when … More Helsinki on film (winter edition)
Since it’s a trend in 2026, I’m going along with this whole “analogue” thing but it’s just film photos under a new name, and if you haven’t been around here before, I have an entire tag for the photos I’ve been taking on 35mm film over the last nearly seven years, so this isn’t new. … More Switzerland in analogue
If you’ve been around this blog for long, you probably know I like to take film photos. I possess a wonderful 1960s SLR camera which turned up in the loft some ten years after its previous owner, my grandad, died. But it’s too heavy to carry around, so most of my photos are actually taken … More Iceland on film (winter 2024 edition)
For the last few years, I’ve often taken a film camera with me on trips. Nothing exciting, either a 90s holiday camera from eBay or a really light plasticky new camera once the 90s one started misbehaving. There are no settings except flash on/off and the 90s one doesn’t even have that. I made it … More Iceland on film (summer 2025 edition)
It turns out, for some reason, I never posted the film photos I took last year in Dubrovnik. It was a beautiful time and a beautiful town, despite the billions of tourists and the number of cruise ships that came into the port every single day. Besides, I love 35mm film. I like how it … More Dubrovnik on film
I’ve discovered that I’ve missed quite a few sets of film photos but I like them and I think they show a slightly different perspective on places and on travel, especially with the fact that you don’t get to find out whether they even worked until a good few weeks later. They’ll never replace the … More The Eras Train Tour on film
Today is Wednesday 23rd April and I just got my film photos from Pula back – I only got home on Saturday and the film didn’t go in the post until Monday, so I was astonished at the speed of it this time (with my black and white Iceland pictures, I waited four and a … More Pula on film
