Mostly film with the odd smattering of digital. I like old concrete and steel. 📷 @filmphotomotive for car stuff

Back again, this time with a few from @ntshugborough where we stopped off en route home from Chester. I shall now disappear again for probably about 6 months. Unless it's longer than that. Or maybe not? 📷 Olympus OM1n 🎞️ Ilford FP4 . . . . . #shugborough #nationaltrust #olympusom1n #ilfordfp4 #analog

Continuing my (very) occasional series of "Richard has gone to a place for some kind of holiday-adjacent activity, and taken a camera with him", a few odds and ends from a day spent wandering around Chester a couple of weeks back. My Rolleiflex (which is the usual go-to for this kind of thing) is in need of a service, so my OM1n has had a bit of time out in the sun for the first time in ages. 📷 Olympus OM1n 🎞️ Ilford FP4 . . . . . #chester #olympusom1n #ilfordfp4 #filmisnotdead #analog

A little selection box from a few days in Amsterdam before Christmas. Maybe I'll manage to post more than twice here this year, but no promises... lots more over on @filmphotomotive though if you're in any way interested in cars! 📷 Rolleiflex 2.8C 🎞️ Ilford HP5 #amsterdam #rolleiflex #keepshootingfilm #ilfordphoto #streetphotography

Continuing my very occasional series of photos-I've-taken-on-holiday, a few weeks back Monica and I went to Cork for a few days. Awesome food, cool architecture and public transport that actually seems to work. Very much recommended! 📷 Rolleiflex 2.8C 🎞️ Ilford FP4 . . . . #cork #visitireland🍀 #ilfordphoto #ilfordfp4 #filmisnotdead #keepshootingfilm #rolleiflex

A few bits and bobs from a trip to Bath back in November. I've not spent enough time wandering round fresh places with a camera since the 2020 unpleasantness... . . . . . . #bath #bathsomerset #visitbath #urbanscape #mediumformatfilm #filmisnotdead #keepshootingfilm #rolleiflex #ilfordphoto #ilfordfp4 #ilfordhp5 #6x6 #streetphotography

My second attempt at @harmanphoto Phoenix in 120 (the first one being over on @beardycars ), and this time I gave it another stop over box speed. Still awkward to get the colours looking how I wanted, but I think better overall for the additional exposure. *Definitely* one you'll want to scan yourself though! . . . . . . #peakdistrict #landscape #landscapephotography #ladybower #pentax67 #harmanphoto #harmanphoenix200 #phoenix200 #mediumformatfilm #pentaxfilm #keepshootingfilm #filmisnotdead #analog #documentingbritain #britainonfilm

At least five years ago, @perry.scope and I had a bit of a wander round Barbican one evening and said we should definitely go back. A couple of weekends ago, we finally got round to it. There's a lot of modern building projects that could learn a lot from this place...

Caught up with my black and white developing, including the single roll I shot whilst we were in Edinburgh a few weeks back

Another visit en route from Loch Lomond to Edinburgh was Cramond Island (and the causeway over to it). Unfortunately we were a bit limited on time on the island due to the tides (the causeway disappears pretty rapidly as the tide comes in), but there was time for a bit of a nose around the WWII-era bunkers
