Neil Forshaw Photography

I'm a photographer that started in digital but now mainly works in film. I was surprised to discover in a world obsessed with getting the best image quality above everything that people would spend thousands on digital cameras that could be beaten (in quality) to "obsolete" film equipment going for a couple of hundred pounds. Here's my photographic malarky for the world to see. Check it out.

Gig Photography On Film, Again

I’d just got hold of some Kentmere 400 film and thought I’d give it a try especially with pushing it to ISO 1600. I haven’t done a gig in a while so it seemed a good opportunity. This time I had the Nikon FM with F/1.4 lenses at my disposal. Unfortunately the day before my 50mm F/1.4 broke and was stuck at F/1.4. I decided to use my 85mm F/1.4 instead so I could use some flash as well.

A Clear Trip To The Lakes

Me and a college from the Preston Photographic Society went to the lakes today.  Starting in the Langdale Valley for most of the trip I took my Pentax 67 and my Nikon FM. In the Nikon I was trying out some Kentmere 100 B&W film. Much cheaper than the Ilford branded stuff. Results were OK but not special.

Beginning With An End

Got my Bulldog 8×10 camera all sorted out and have created my first shot with it. Unfortunately I knocked the camera during taking of the picture so it’s ended up not very high resolution. Oh well next time make sure I’m more careful.
