Medium format

Transparency film scanning continues, with my concentration on medium format images while I acquire more 35mm slide mounts.

Even when an image isn’t that impressive, the detail therein makes the image great to look at: from my twin lens reflex’s gorgeously large viewfinder to the image’s old-fashioned square shape, taking photos in medium format has been a delight.

    Gliddon Road, west London. Genuinely can’t think of why I went there.

Two views of an ornate headstone. I think I prefer the first.

The most recent images I’ve scanned have been from 2007. Since then I’ve taken many more images on digital and on 35mm, but looking at these scans (just a single pass this time) I may well return to this camera. The limited exposures on a roll and slower technique in taking pictures may lead to a more considered image.
