Film Photography Podcast

I am really enjoying listening to this podcast. It's a refreshing change from the usual photography podcasts which I also enjoy.

Film Photography Podcast

It is at times laugh out loud hilarious and could equally pass as light entertainment or comedy. Well worth checking out.

M8 Infrared Photography

The much talked about sensitivity of the M8 to infrared light, got me thinking that it would make a good camera for infrared photography. In fact it makes an excellent camera for infrared photography. Metering works fine with the filter in place. View for composition obviously unaffected due to rangefinder window. Results very impressive.

Definitely my choice for shooting castles and ruins against skies with a few fluffy clouds.

The Keepers of the Light

Reading an interesting book at the moment. I heard about this book some time ago (while listening to the excellent History of Photography podcast by Jeff Curto. It's not your usual podcast, its actually a recording of his university lecturers). Astute readers of my blog may notice the slight resemblance to the title of this blog!!  Anyway, it's called The Keepers of Light: A History and Working Guide to Early Photographic Processes. It's no longer in print, but used copies are readily available. I got mine from Amazon
