A Brief History Of Photography By Objects – 7 – The Edison Kinetoscope 1893
The Kinetoscope seems initially an odd choice. This early motion picture viewer was not the first to device to show moving pictures. However it’s development would help drive the founding of the motion picture industry and set standards that are still used in the movies and still photography. But it’s also a story of intrigue, a Scotsman and possible murder…. Continue reading A Brief History Of Photography By Objects – 7 – The Edison Kinetoscope 1893

Let’s have a look at some great cameras from the past some known and some not so well known and a film that arrived in the darkest of days and went to the moon and is just coming back right through to a Rock Star who wants to do your D&P. We’ll also snatch a glimpse of Eastern Europe before WWII and check your vision. Continue reading THE READING ROOM – NEWS & THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED (WEEK 13: 19TH-25TH OCT)

I’m currently away for the Scottish half chasing my weans around theme parks and castles in the Midlands and the South of England with a Espio and the lomographer’s favourite the LC-A.

5 of the Most Under-Appreciated Photography Films Today – Guest Post By Paul McKay of Analogue Wonderland
We are living in a wonderful time for film photography. 2017 saw the launch of more new film products than any year since the 1990s, and 2018 has already broken that record with 3 months still to go. We have been treated to old favourites coming back (Tmax 3200, Ektachrome) as well as a continued flow of new brands and extensions (Bretz Skyline, Street Candy, JCH Streetpan 120, Yodica).

But amongst all the classics: the HP5s, Velvias, Portra, the wildly popular Instax range, and more – there are some hidden gems that we feel do not get the attention and the love that they deserve.
