Also what's coming up.

Getting out has been a bit slow recently due to busier weekends with the children as summer approaches, as well as some ongoing DIY decorating projects that have been keeping me occupied. But don’t worry, I have plans to get back out there soon!
Summer is usually a challenging time for me to find inspiration with a pinhole camera. I often lose motivation, struggling with the bright blue skies (yes, we do get blue skies in the UK!). I find myself more drawn to overcast, dark, moody days rather than sunshine.

BUT, I have a plan

In the next few videos, I plan on experimenting more with paper negatives and making DIY pinhole cameras. This August marks 10 years since I first got into pinhole photography, and I plan to celebrate by revisiting the very first camera that changed my photography journey forever. I’ve recently tested this camera (just out a bedroom window) to ensure everything is working fine. I’ve also set up a small darkroom space to develop the paper negatives in a tray. So far, the results look "good", I did meter at ISO 6 but think maybe ISO 3 would be better. 

I'm using Ilford Multigrade B&W Photo Darkroom, not sure what the recommended ISO is?

Again, Thank you all for your patience and continued support. I’m excited to share these upcoming projects with you, and I hope you’ll enjoy the journey with me!
