Dear readers,

Apologies for the lack of posts during the past week. I've been busy with non street, photography projects along with my day job.

Here is another few images from London, all shot on the Olympus OM-D E-M5 using the Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f1.8 lens:

I'm back from my a week away in sunny Valencia. However here in London the summer hasn't even started yet, or it's come and gone.
Here are some photos from the last month or so, shot on the Ricoh GR1v & Fujicolor Superia 400 X-TRA:

More snaps around town. It's amazing what you'll find if you just look.

London on Film - Fujicolor Superia 400 X-TRA (09/04/2013)

Now that the clocks have been brought forward and we it stays lighter for longer, I've been shooting more colour film, and doing so has got me searching for a cheap alternative to Kodak Portra 400 at ISO 400.
First up on the list of films to try is the Fuji Superia 400 X-TRA. I've used this film before in the Nikon FM3A and have got fairly good results. The colours are nice and vibrant but indoor shots sometimes suffer from over saturation of skintones when compared to Portra.
Anyway I do like this film and personally I prefer the over saturated colours to Portra. My only problem with it is the slightly larger grain size and lack of exposure latitude when compared to Portra 400. Although I haven't tried (maybe I will in my next roll), I doubt you'd be able to expose Superia 400 at ISO 800 and get acceptable results.

Here are some shots of London using this film in my Ricoh GR1v. I have to say, I really love the colours the film's reproduced in the first photo. Let me know what you think.

London on film - Ilford HP5 Plus @ ISO1600 (03/04/2013)

What a pleasant Easter Break, and I certainly needed in order to recharge my batteries.

Today's post is a bitter-sweet one, as It's the end of my Neopan 1600 photos, but the start of my HP5 Plus. Luckily when HP5 is pushed to ISO 1600 and processes in Microphen, it produces a look consistent with Neopan 1600.

Have a look and tell me what you think and which you prefer. All photos shot on the Ricoh GR1v and Ilford HP5 Plus, pushed to ISO 1600 and processed in Microphen stock solution:

Here's a pub themed London on film. The shenanigans that people get up to on a Friday night after work cannot be summed up in words, so here are a few photos instead.

The Daily Commute (05/05/2012)

After a long week the long weekend is finally here. Unfortunately us Londoners have to endure a weekend of bad weather and more importantly another 4 years of Boris "Bungles" Johnson who was re-elected as London mayor.


Here are some shots to put a smile on your face.


The first shot was taken on the brand new Olympus OM-D E-M5 + Panasonic/Leica Summilux 25mm f/1.4.
