Todays show is a special one that was recorded originally as part of the Tales From The Magic Box podcast's December special. Henry did a great job of cutting it around many other segments from other podcasters, but it is presented here in full. Neil heads out along the railway line in search of a couple of pictures. He does that quite a bit it wou…

Alex and Neil finally get back together for a chat about what they’ve been up to since they last properly spoke in June! Finding inspiration, lockdown photography walks, homemade developers, contact printing and loads more... ...oh, and they finally announced a winner of the episode 50 competition...! ------------------------------- Bruce Fisher - …

Neil heads off out for a walk with too many cameras... Speed Graphic, Holga, ONDU, A1 & the Vista Colour Camera...which ones will he actually use? Tune in to find out as they say...!

Neil has a go at a different spin on making positives from black and white negative sheet film... Apologies, audio is screwy on this one, not unlistenable but annoying. You'll see... If any listeners have an answer on how to fix this please drop me a line! ------------------------------- As always please feel free to drop us an email at sootandwhit…

Welcome to the Err train! Whoo Whoo! Neil has received his Pixl-Latr and does an impromptu unboxing and review, no real planning and lots of rambling, but hopefully of interest! On the shows Youtube channel (yes there is such a thing...) there is also a (not great) video that hopefully demonstrates the Pixl-Latr better than an audio podcast. We'll …

An episode that had every intention of just being a short follow up to show 53 that took on a life of its own... Neil is in the darkroom making paper negatives with the monstrous Kodak folder he picked up earlier in the day. Success, failure, some better success and some final images. Oh and he 'ended' the show several times so make sure the 'end' …

In todays show Neil visits his first car boot sale since the world went down the toilet, shoots some film around the sale and comes away with some surprising bargains. He then goes for a wander through the woods chasing elusive rays of light to make some more photographs with Stewie the Speed Graphic. He also gets attacked by mosquitoes. Honestly, …

Just Neil this episode out in the forest following part of the Southwold to Halesworth narrow gauge railway line again. This episode he brings along Stewie the Speed Graphic, his Canon A1 and the Minolta Riva Panorama to make some images on sheets of Foma 400 and some 35mm Kentmere 400. ------------------------------- Forgot to make proper notes, s…

Alex and Neil are back after a 12ish week long break! As such they’ve got a massive list of stuff that they want to chat about, but only touch on a small bit of it - but don’t worry they do throw themselves head first into many a rabbit hole. Some of them are even related to photography! Shooting lenses outside your normal comfort zone, Gandolfi ca…

Neil with another short Public Service Announcement regarding film processing. I posted in the -/+ Facebook group the other day, and would like to pass the info on to any of you guys that don't read Facebook, that during these peculiar times of COVID-19 and government enforced lockdown I know some of you lovely people may be struggling to either fi…

It's the big 5 - 0 for us over here at Soot & Whitewash towers, so Alex and Neil get together for a chat about, well, a whole bunch of stuff. Frankly we didn't keep great notes and make no apologies for it... What we do remember is there is a fantastic camera and film giveaway from listener Christer Brandt, Neil forgets to hit record on the convers…

Todays show is another ride along as Neil heads off to Brimham Rocks in the county of Yorkshire in the UK, determined to spend at least some of the weekend making photographs. ------------------------------- Dave Eichinger - Instagram @eich_lux_phun Spectre App - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/spectre-camera/id1450074595 ----------------------------…

I develop some sheets, some 127 and some 620 and talk through my developing process with Caffenol CL. Actually j…

In this episode I venture into the outside world with my Speed Graphic for the first time. There's me learning stuff, having fun, getting stuff wrong, pulling my hair out (what little is left) and ultimately a happy ending. Its a bit longer than I'd hoped but that happens I guess sometimes when you ramble on without a coherent idea of what you're d…

An unscheduled, impromptu 'show' in response to a dick that I had the displeasure to interact with on Facebook with today. Seriously, some people just need to be nice or just shut up. ------------------------------- As always please feel free to drop me an email at sootandwhitewash@gmail.com or send me a call in if you’d like to get your voice out …

This show im out and about for the first time in what feels like forever. I take a detour on my way home from work over to Greyfriars Medieval Friary, in Dunwich, Suffolk in the UK to shoot a roll of 127 Verichrome Pan in my Kodak Brownie 127. Why? Because its 127 Day! Well, it was when I recorded this at least... ------------------------------- 12…

In this show I talk about a camera swap Im about to embark on with Toby Van de Velde, do a mini review of the Ricoh 500G, and talk about my plans for 127 day. ------------------------------- Toby: Instagram is @tobyvphoto 12…

Welcome to possibly the most awkward podcast you'll hear all year. Basically I have decided over the past couple of months that it could be a good idea to set up a Ko-Fi page for the show, and after some convincing by other podcast hosts and friends I have bitten the bullet and done so. I really dont know how I feel about it, hence the awkward show…

In this show I start by talking about my EMULSIVE Secret Santa gifts, and then give a shoutout to my favourite new podcast - Tales From The Magic Box with Henry Scott. I then go on to talk through (at length, sorry) the act of making my first 4x5 image with my Speed Graphic. ------------------------------- Emulsive: https://emulsive.org Tales From …

A short show just to pass out some thanks and some info about stuff happening this weekend. Also I pose a couple of questions to you guys and sincerely hope you get in touch to help me out! Oh and a call in from Mike Gutterman regarding show 40. ------------------------------- Analog Forever - https://www.analogforevermagazine.com Launch Party Link…

In todays show Alex Purcell joins me again for a chat about Pinhole, half frame cameras, reciprocity failure (fact or fiction...) and the ugliest camera in the world...the Ensign Fun-Vue II. Well, I think it's ugly, Alex thinks it's beautiful. Oddball...Also loads of other things as well most likely, but me making notes as we go along is something …

In this show I return to form and completely forget how to string together a sentence without the use of umms & errs. I try and give an honest review and walkthrough of the wonderful 24Squared pinhole camera created by Graham Young. I also try to get the word out about pre orders for the Analog Forever printed magazine coming in November. ---------…

In this follow up episode I return to the Mells/Wenhaston bridge remains (avoiding the bovine bullies) and make some new pinhole photographs. I even almost got my feet wet... I then head off back to Walberswick to reshoot a few frames and make some new discoveries. ------------------------------- You can see the project in its infancy at: http://ww…

Join me as I have a wander along another area for my project Southwold to Halesworth. Join me in shouting Doh! and other profanities as I make a colossal error with my camera, and listen along as I try to work out if I do in fact have a fear of cows. Yeah cows... ------------------------------- As always please feel free to drop me an email at soot…

So inspired by the Sunny 16 guys I went out with the intention of shooting one roll of 120 in an hour, walking more of the railway line that I have spoken about previously for my project Southwold to Halesworth. FYI, setting yourself that task with pinhole is dumb... 😃 Originally it was going to be submitted to those guys as a short recording, but …

In this short check in I'm out and about wandering the railway line again looking for interesting things to point a pinhole at. To be honest, I reckon its mostly gibberish... ------------------------------- As always please feel free to drop me an email at sootandwhitewash@gmail.com or send me a call in if you’d like to get your voice out on the sh…
