74560: Portra 800 | April 2024

That roll of Portra I mentioned from St Ninian's yesterday? Well, here it is. Gulabi work fast.

I recorded some environmental audio and put a wee video together. It was windy as all hell so I didn't get as much audio as I would have liked, so had to kill a few photos from the video - but yo...

72230: Rollei RPX 25 | March 2024

Normally I rattle through film at a decent pace. Nothing that I'd consider wasteful, afterall I'm shooting because I enjoy it, but March in particular was notably lacking on the film front, but that's because of this bloody film. It really held me up.

A friend gifted me a couple rolls of it...

St. Ninian's Fife Earth Project

We jumped in the car and tore up the M90 to St Ninian's Fife Earth Project this morning. This was an unexpected find while doom scrolling TikTok one day.

On the drive, I did some token research.

American Artist, Charles Jencks, was commissioned by local developers to turn the 930 acre...

UltraMax 400. March 2024.
The Devil's Pulpit.

When I worked in the camera shop, a couple of american tourists came in. They were stuck, as they'd just landed in the country and the camera they bought for their travel was dead on arrival. They wanted it repairing, except we didn't do repa...

Scarborough

A collection of photos taken in Scarborough ca.; 2012-2015

COP26 at Glasgow Green

Some photos from Climate Protest in Glasgow, taken yesterday afternoon.

Shooting stars with M10-R.

I'm not very well equiped for taking photographs of stars, I use a single camera and a tripod and don't have any fancy star tracking gear. But every now and then I like to just point my camera up and make some exposures and see if I get anything interesting.

Looking online there's a basic ...

Halloween Theme (cover)

Synths: Behringer Crave, Model D, Dreadbox Typhon.
Sequencing & Drums: MPC One.

FILM: Camera??? + AGFA 200

Turns out that one of the rolls I developed the other week was an oldie from around 5/6 years ago, not long after I moved to Glasgow. I was working in Cathouse at the time as a party photographer and would occasionally take in a film camera to fuck about with.

I can only guess that the came...

FILM: Leica M6 + Fuji Superia 400

I developed another few rolls of film the other week, but left them at my pals to dry. Only just got them dropped off this eve, but making my way through scanning them. No idea whats on them, so seeing as I go.

Here's the most part of a 36 exp. roll of Superia 400, but I've ommited a few ...

Yorkshire.

We'll be heading back to Scotland today, here's some photos from the past few days.

Hog Wyld - 143POP! (unreleased video)

Somewhere between receiving the masters back and releasing the album we were deciding on the first single to release to promote it. At the time I had just had an eye test and discovered I needed glasses, but the biggest take away from the test was that I wanted to use a snellen chart in a lyric v...

Photos with Leica M6 + Neopan 1600 (complete roll)

Here's the scans from Balloch the other day. Quite pleased with the metering in general, I screwed a few up but that was on me rather than the camera!

Afternoon in Balloch

Headed to Balloch today. I took the M6 specifically to rattle through a roll of Neopan 1600 for the YouTube channel. I have no idea if the photos I've taken are actually any good or not as they need developing, but I very much took photos for the sake of taking photos - not being precious about i...

Restored negatives

As I make my way through my great uncles archive, I'm keeping taking a few out of each scanned batch that I particularly like. This is so I can restore them a little, and by removing some of the blemishes that have occured over decades of being improperly stored I can get a bit more of a feel of ...

James C. Simpson 35mm Negatives: "Seaside Scarborough"

Here's a collection titled 'seaside scarborough'. No date, but once again I'm assuming 50's.

Shot on Ilford Panchromatic film.

James C. Simpson 35mm Negatives: "Dalia, North Scotland"

I found some negatives wrapped in makeshift paper holders with notes scribbled on them from either my great uncle or my grandad - I'm unsure which as their handwriting is very similar.

This is a collection titled 'Dalia, North Scotland'. No date, but I'm assuming 50's.

Shot on Ilford ...

A couple of home town projects...

I've packed my bag and headed south to Scarborough for a week, as a couple of close pals are getting married and me and Bryan are handling photography duties for them. Now, that's on Saturday, but I've got a few days eitherside of that to see family etc. I packed a few extra rolls of film since I...

gone, finally (demo)

Ambient pieces like this may well end up as bed tracks on my youtube videos going forward, rather than relying on the YouTube sound library.

Hospital

Went for a walk around Pollokpark. 20 minutes into the walk I got stung hard on my ankle. It was a wasp. Having not being stung by anything like this since I was a wee kid, I was suprised at just how much it hurt. I walked it off, thought little of it. Robyn inspected the sting and I took a photo...

"Say, that's a nice bike..." (demo)

Picked up a synth last night from a pal, and it's given me a fresh source of inspiration. I've got the basics down for 5 or so tracks today, here's a little work in progress.

Synth is Typhon.
Programmed beats.

Loch Ard Forest

Been a little quiet on here the past couple of weeks, I've been deep diving into some archive drives I've got pooling together tons of photos. In a few days, it'll mark a year with the Leica Q2 so I'm putting together a wee YouTube video looking back at a year with it and how it's been to use, wh...

Hog Wyld | WYLD [debut album]

WYLD, the debut album from HOG WYLD - lone purveyors of SwaggerPop(TM) - is finally here.

Forged in the face of 18 months of isolation and global despair, the ten track LP is a techni-coloured explosion of synth-tinged swinging classics; an unabashed celebration of both life and death. A ...

Cornershop.

Went t' shop for snacks, some guy was like "I wouldn't go in there". I waited, sounds of smashing and screaming. A unhappy customer going wild at the owner. She comes out, flings a four pack of IRN BRU at the shop and it sprayed all over a baby in a pram. She goes away, I go in.

As soon as ...

Alice (Patreon)

Here's the full selection of the photos with Alice yesterday.

Typically when hanging out with people I tend to walk about for a chunk of the day with them, taking photos as we go in various spots that catch our eye - though we didn't really get chance to do that as we were mostly just havin...

Star Gazing above Paisley

Last night we drove to the braes car park looking over Paisley and Glasgow, we got there just after the sun had set and the intention was to wait around and watch the meteor shower.  But the glow from the city below, and everyone's headlights in the car park made it seem unlikely we'd spot a...
