About

Just a blog – first thoughts and final words on topics vaguely photographic. I am a photographer who writes about and teaches photography though my own business. That business is a partnership run with my wife. Anything you read here – product recommendations or comments – is my own opinion. Neither me or my business is sponsored or supported by any commercial enterprise.

    Splendid to see this Blog. I shall monitor it. I’ve recently been installing WordPress on various of my clients sites to positive effect ( http://creativethorp.com/weblog/ being a good example) I’m torn between WordPress and Drupal, but WP is far easier to set up.

    Do you have any thoughts about buying 35mm colour film, which I gather from a friend is becoming increasingly rare in the shops. Where do you go for film these days?

    All best,

    Ivor

    Hello Ivor

    Once film was a casual purchase often just a roll or two – when everyone stocked it. Nowadays you have to buy from a photographic specialist or go on line to someone like http://www.discountfilmsdirect.co.uk/ . If you are buying more than you’ll use at once keep the film in the chill compartment of the refrigerator in a sealed food box – preferably with a little sachet of Silica gel to moderate the damp.
