    Episode 61 - Sooty Tales From The Magic White-Box

    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 would seem...! 😃  This time he's armed with Stewie and a few sheets of photographic paper.

    Happy New Year all, and here's to a positive 2021.

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

    Tales From The Magic Box can be heard here and is well worth some of your time.

    Analogue Wonderland

    All Through A Lens Podcast

    Matt Melcher actually covers D96, not D23 as Neil thought.  But its still a cool episode of his Box of Cameras podcast

    Homemade Camera Podcast had Daniel Keeting on Episode 39.  It's insane what this guy knows about making his own developing chemistry.

    Episode 57 - A Negative Positive...Or A Positive Negative...?

    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!

    Episode 55 - Neil's First Thoughts on the Production Pixl-Latr

    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 let you be the judge of that...!

    Find that here, assuming Neil can work YouTube properly...which is doubtful...

    *feels the need to make a gag along the lines of better Pixl-latr than never....

    ....sorry... 😃

    Episode 54 - The No. 3-A Kodak Jr...

    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' you finish at is the actual end of the show!

    Episode 53 - Car Boot Time...!

    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, first cows now freaking mozzies...



    And just so you know, episode 54 is already in the bag and follows on with Neil actually using that cool Kodak...tune in soon for the results!

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

    Anil Mistry's work mentioned is called Ritual, and some of it can be seen here.  I believe he's releasing it soon as a book as well.

    Episode 52... A Sunny Walk With Neil & Some Cameras

    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.
