There's a memorable phrase before the movie opening credits appear. "Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfuckin' last one of you!".
The Panther is a real nice film. I have two left in my fridge. I did a test scan with Epson an Vuescan, My wife did not like the 'pastel' Epson scans, So I continued with Vuescan. But I prefer the Epson ones.
I love to experiment and create interesting images rather than technically accurate photographs. This film soup was made by adding 2 cups of Asda Moonflower and Ylang Ylang washing powder to a bowl of tepid water. I dropped 2 films in and left them over night. I removed the films and transferred them to the airing cupboard for a further 2 days. The films were then left degrading in my room for about a month before I got round to shooting them. Before shooting I just used my hairdryer and dark bag to give them a quick blast. Despite the drying time the films had a stickiness too them which didn't really go. I shot this film once on my LC-Wide of images of Street Art in the Brick Lane and Shoreditch area of East London. I then transferred the film to my Pentax ME Super and shot the dinosaur exhibits at the Natural History Museum. When the film was finished I rewound, however to my dismay the film had come off the spool and I exposed it to the light. It took me a minute to get the back on before I considered most of the film had been destroyed. I don't know if these neon colours are as a result of the soup or my light leak. I find with the Pentax ME Super the film is wound so loose that a great deal of light may have penetrated this film. I have another film to develop from this batch so I will confirm the outcome after my next batch of processing which had no light leaks!

Third roll of 35mm in my Belair Jetsetter - black and white this time. Sure, you can buy a 35mm back for the Belair now, but who needs it when all you need is cotton wool to hold the film in place and black tape to block off the film-counter window? I shot these at a sailing club about a 30-minute drive from home, on a very overcast day. This was the first time I tried 135 with the 6x12 frame in place, and I really like how wide they are. Still not overly impressed with the sharpness of the plastic Belair lens, though.

Lubitel + Redscale + Sunset + Beach = Awesome in my opinion. These pics remind me of the cover of The Endless Summer surf movie. I really love how these turned out.
I found a bunch of unprocessed Panatomic-X from the 30s-80s in an antique store trash heap. I asked how much for the film. the cashier just said "take it, nobody develops film anymore." I laughed, took it home and mixed up a can of #Acufine. All hand processed, in the bathroom in the basement that my cat uses. Couldn't be more #diy. I feel like there's a story meant to be told here, and I feel the need to tell it to the best of my ability.
