http://maxwellsc.blogspot.com/2009/06/nessie-spotted.html

It's How You Put it Together. Saturday, June 27, 2009. Dinnae feel bad, Nessie. Coach has bin wrestlin' monsters since ya wer sucklin' at yer mothers teat! Stefan "Angus Beef" Milne.

Backwards to the Modern World: March 2014

http://backwardstothemodernworld.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 19 March 2014. Such tips, wow. I've been following the rise (and fall) of various cryptocurrencies for some time and am now accepting Dogecoin. Look over there, to the right. So if you find some useful information here, or download one of my CC licenced images then you can now give a little tip as way of saying thanks. For the uninitiated Dogecoin. Is a fun alternative to the much more well known Bitcoin. To saving turtles in Florida. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Such tips, wow.

Backwards to the Modern World: April 2014

http://backwardstothemodernworld.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Friday, 4 April 2014. Zeiss Ikon Nettar Ilford Pan F Plus test shots. And a modern cable release. The tripod was fine once I got it on the carpet but a slippery devil on the laminate floor. My scanner was having trouble recognising the medium format negatives so these shots are scanned from Ilford's prints. No editing other than cropping and rotating has been done. Eduardo Paolozzi sculpture at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Dad painting a bird table. Ilford Pan F Plus. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Backwards to the Modern World: August 2014

http://backwardstothemodernworld.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Monday, 4 August 2014. Last year I picked up an interesting book snappily titled 'The Art of Retouching Negatives and Finishing and Colouring Photographs' by Robert Johnson. This copy is a ninth edition, revised and brought up to date by T.S. Bruce and Alfred Braithwaite and dated 1918. The urgent need of something easier to use than the knife, and safer in the hands of the amateur, arose, and so "Negafake" Erasing Pencils were invented by Mr. J.W. D'Anter, a well-known and long-experienced L...Usually s...

Backwards to the Modern World: A little box of magic

http://backwardstothemodernworld.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-little-box-of-magic.html

Friday, 5 December 2014. A little box of magic. Last weekend I found myself at a vintage fair in Perth's Salutation Hotel. Horrendous Christmas music aside there was a wonderful array of stalls with all sorts of interesting things for sale. A couple of nice vintage cameras caught my eye but lightness of wallet kept them where they were. What I couldn't pass up however was a box of old magic lantern slides. By Paul Sandby, 1760. Three days later Pepys bought one of his own. The slides are all numbered, so...

Backwards to the Modern World: Wardrobe Convos with the 35B

http://backwardstothemodernworld.blogspot.com/2014/08/wardrobe-convos-with-35b.html

Friday, 1 August 2014. Wardrobe Convos with the 35B. Occasionally I do some photography for Kim and Helen over at Wardrobe Conversations. Usually shooting on either my Canon 600D or Helen's Panasonic G5. So it was a nice change to try shooting some material on the Rollei 35B. These shots weren't for use on their site, just for my own amusement. Check out this post. If you'd like to see the G5 versions. Helen and I went for a day out in Dundee, taking a snoop round the grounds of DJCAD.

Backwards to the Modern World: December 2013

http://backwardstothemodernworld.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 31 December 2013. Rollei 35B Ilford XP2 Super 400 test shots. These are some test shots I took earlier this year with the Rollei 35B and a roll of XP2. It was the first time I'd shot 35mm film in a decade so a few of my exposures were a bit off.to say the least! Still I got a few frames that I was quite happy with including some of Alyson Conway's brilliant Lemming sculptures. Lemming sculpture by Alyson Conway. Seabraes Park, Dundee. Sheep's skull.

Backwards to the Modern World: May 2014

http://backwardstothemodernworld.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 20 May 2014. An old roll of Klick film. Are they still on the go? Turns out they are, only now owned by Max Speilmann which is owned in turn by Timpson which in turn, it appears, is about to be sucked into the gargantuan folds of Tesco. Such is the wonderful world of choice promised by free market capitalism. Stuffed away in a box in the garage I found a few old rolls of Klick's own brand 35mm film which I'm now putting through the Rollei 35B. Although I sent my negs away to Peak Imaging.
