Field Notes

A small notebook about film photography, long walks and slow travel.

Shooting Portra in flat autumn light

Overexpose by a stop, keep the horizon low, and let the colour do the work. Notes from three rolls and one very wet afternoon.

A coastal path, two days, one lens

Carrying only a 35mm prime forces you to walk closer. A short list of what worked and what I left in the bag.

Home developing without a darkroom

A changing bag, a tank and a kitchen sink. The cheapest setup that still gives consistent negatives.
