Field Notes

film photography, long walks and the occasional recipe

Baltic light in late October

The sun stays low all day here in autumn, which makes everything look like a late afternoon. I shot two rolls of Portra 400 along the coast and a roll of HP5 in the old town.

Developing black & white at home

A changing bag, a Paterson tank and a bottle of Rodinal are honestly all you need. Notes on dilution, agitation and the mistakes I made so you don't have to.

A short list of cameras I still use

Olympus XA for pockets, a Pentax MX for everything else, and a Yashica Mat for when I want to slow down even more.
