Hello, I’m Stephen. I’m into film photography, wildlife, baking bread.

I’m newish here. I will get around to adding an avatar, but for now the pachyderm stays.

@tmcfarlane You are a photographer on social media and not using a Leica? You do realise that this is only acceptable if you have either a Hasselblad or a Rollieflex, don’t you? Otherwise how are we supposed to respect you?
I've been focusing my film photography on documenting the last days of #CalTrain's diesel trains.

@14mission You really can’t go wrong with this kind of thing.
Even if you are not thrilled by your shots now, they will become more valuable as time passes.
Having said that, I do like the photo.

@andres1gb I have used 10-year-old Tri-X that was kept in a drawer at room temperature and it was fine.

Your extra exposure is probably a good idea, but I would reduce the development time a little, just to be safe. How much? Who knows? 10%?, 20%? Try it and see.

@zolachrome I was a kid living on a council estate back in the 70s. It seems remarkable now to remember going into a phone box and finding a phonebook and a yellow pages on the shelf. By the 90s you were lucky if there was even a phone in there.
@jbaty You should do a companion post: Guess which negatives were shot on Tri-X.

When I started developing my own film, every article I read told me to cut off the corners of the film to make it easier to load onto the reels.

Well recently I haven’t bothered and it makes no difference as far as I can tell.

So stop wasting your time folks. It really doesn’t matter.

(That’s with 35mm. I haven’t tried it with 120)

I'm usually rather long-winded with my YouTube channel, but I got inspired to try out the "Shorts" format, and you know I'm rather happy with this one.
