Film shooter in the Garw Valley…….

A self portrait shot with my Lubitel 166 medium format using kodak Portra 400.

I realised that landscape photography was not this cameras strong point as most of the photographs were very soft indeed.

It may have been my fault as I shot them on infinity stopped down to f11 to f22 thinking that would give me the best results but obviously not, unless the camera has a fault.

All the closer shots were far sharper and contrasty, well you live and learn and I really like using the camera so I will pick my subject matter a little more carefully next time.

I have loaded some Fuji Neopan 400 next so lets see what that brings…….

A Garw walk after the rain……

Went out for a little walk tonight after the rain with the hopes of catching the last rays of sun before it disappeared behind the mountain.

I didn’t want to take out the tripod so I bracketed 3 exposures in camera and shot on continuous high and hoped for the best.

Little & Littler…..

I pass these horses on the way to and from work everyday but noticed an even smaller one yesterday so stopped to take some photos.

The foal was very nervous so I kept my distance but still managed to get a few.
