The Soot and Whitewash Film Photography Podcast

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, sorry!  

I know that Analogue Wonderland was mentioned

Henry and his Tales from The Magic Box podcast

Im pretty sure an undated box of film was mentioned and called Ilford FP3.  It was actually FP4.

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 cameras, other podcasts and how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected things in general. 

They do put an end date on the Ricoh competition - end of July 2020 (listen back to episode 50 for full details) - and as mentioned, if you enter, your odds of winning are very good right now...! 😃  Shout out again to listener Christer Brant for being awesome and offering up the prize. 

They forgot to thank Kevin MacLeod for the music (thanks Kevin, details below) and probably forgot to give out socials - they’re below as well! Definitely forgot to mention the Ko-Fi fund (guess what, thats below as well…!) 

Frankly there’s probably loads more but chances you’re not still reading this garbage anyway…for those that are, really this is the most rambly, tangent led episode of anything ever recorded by anybody…sorry but actually not sorry -its always great catching up...!

I think this is the video Alex mentioned about Gandolfi Cameras, which unfortunately closed up shop in 2017

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 find lab to process your film, or even the chemistry to do it yourself.  Hit me up if this is the case, I am more than happy to help out where I can.

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 conversation, Alex screws up some developing, Neil tries to capture an image in an empty film holder, and we flesh all that out with loads of analogue photography chat.

The calculator for working out apertures and f stops I was trying to remember can be found at here.

Also, I said at some point during the show that the Speed Graphic doesn't have shift.  It does, and what I in fact meant was that it doesn't have swing movements.

In todays show I’m in a great mood and I’m back in Dunwich trying to capture this white whale photograph with Stewie.

I talk a little bit about Project Box Camera, why I set it up with Alex and I even shoot my first roll for the project.

I develop some sheets, some 127 and some 620 and talk through my developing process with Caffenol CL.  Actually just one sheet. So not sheets with an ’s’.

I also tell the story of how Stewie came to be, for those who didn’t read the show notes last time…and probably aren’t this time either…!

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 doing...

Apologies for the wind noise in some of the segments.

Theres a lot of cursing in this show just to warn the people that care...

-------------------------------

...and who's Stewie you ask?  Well, I was reading something about people having names for their large format cameras the other day and I thought it was odd.  But I still got to thinking what the Speed Graphic's name might be.  I was watching an episode of Family Guy and it occurred to me that the initials SP, Speed Graphic, were the same as Stewie Griffin...therefore Stewie the Speed Graphic.  

Dumb, but it appears to have stuck.

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.

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...
