Yet more black and white photographs for my current project, this time though experimenting with my Holga and medium format film.

All photographs in this post were taken using a Holga CFN (plastic lens) camera and Ilford Delta 400 120mm film.

They were taken in the same place (and surrounding area) as the pictures in the post below, albeit on a sunnier day.

The main advantage medium format film has over regular 35mm is a much larger resolution. When coupled with a Holga camera you get a desirable soft focus around the edges along with heavy vignetting.

My latest black and white photography project has now been completed. A selection of the best prints have been stored for display in a portfolio box.

Each photograph was printed by hand using traditional darkroom techniques, over the course of several weeks.

Some of the hand printed images consist of photos from earlier posts. I’ll try to get some of the newer images scanned at some point to display online.

I’m currently working on the next photography project and should have some photos to show soon.

As part of a larger photography project I am working on I spent a day rattling off a couple of b&w films, trying out a few ideas. These images were from a roll of Ilford XP2 and processed at a local hour lab, unfortunately they came out slightly sepia.
