Another from the edges of #Tomintoul, this time on HP5. Sitting above the site of the former working quarry. The mirror box is a unique way to view the landscape from different angles. (A few light spots removed)

Wood carving in a tree stump of an ancient looking face

Spotted behind the #Glenlivet ranger station #Tomintoul. I believe it's called a McBogg, but may be mistaken. Captured on #KodakGold @400 ISO.

The wonderful Portsoy in Moray. Wanted to take my camera up that way all Summer but didn't happen until last month. Shot on my Cosina C1, HP5.

My copy has finally arrived in the Cairngorms too. Was persuaded by your unboxing video to take a closer look. Cheers ☝️

Three different colour films. Personally I love how the red pops and contrasts with the greens on the Santacolor.
1. Rose, Wolfen 500NC @ 400 ISO. 2. Fir, Santacolor 100 @ 400 ISO. 3. Moss, N&T Kodak Vision3 @ 800 ISO.

Good boy. Sometimes he stays but mostly he gets fed up and jumps off. Bergger Pancro 400 pushed up to 1600. Pretty pleased with how it still came out. #filmphotography #analoguephotography #35mm #photography #humberside #dog #dogphotigraphy

Shooting a lot of Kodak Gold recently (due to the amazing weather) but this one shows why it's still a great film to shoot on a cloudy day too. #kodak #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #minolta
