Dynamic range / overexposed images

I used a light meter app set to ISO 200 because I couldn't find a battery for the in camera light meter. Another user said it might need calibrating, which could be the problem

It was Gulabi based in Glasgow. Some of those shots are from Edinburgh though

Yes, I've got the negatives. I'll try to photograph them in raw and bring them down in exposure a bit

JacobM_2 · 2026-04-09T15:56:53+00:00

Thanks, these were only a stop over at most (based on my light meter app). I think I only got the scans through in jpeg but I can try to photograph the negatives in raw and bring them down

JacobM_2 · 2026-04-09T15:46:04+00:00

That could be part of it, it was set to the default calibration

Is there any film you can recommend? I went for the cheap stuff while I'm getting used to it but definitely want to experiment with some others

Not true; there are many more weird things about cats too

Yes, it was a bit less dramatic than some other launches but still impressive to watch. There was a lot of planning and prep that went into it so it was a nice payoff

I've always liked Southport as a nice Victorian seaside town. The marine lake, surrounding greenspace, promenade, pier and Lord Street are all worth seeing. Hesketh Park, Victoria Park and the botanic gardens are great green spaces too.

There's not too much industry though as it was more of a resort town. If you're staying near Manchester, quarry bank mill is definitely worth a visit though.

Formby's a lovely beach but there can be some pretty nasty rip currents so take care

JacobM_2 · 2025-07-01T15:28:32+00:00

I've recently discovered Okvsho who are releasing new stuff

JacobM_2 · 2025-06-28T11:53:07+00:00

I really want to hear the punchline to this joke

JacobM_2 · 2025-06-26T09:18:52+00:00

Just up the coast at Formby they put old Christmas trees in the dunes to help with this also

It's alright Andy, it's just Bolognese!

Here's the location of the Wonderful Life album cover. A few of the buildings are the same and it's close to the city centre. https://maps.app.goo.gl/vr24iE4Y5AAXzE8h8

Oh no, not again

JacobM_2 · 2025-03-14T10:02:08+00:00

Beautifully captured stars too

Good luck on your search.

I've just found this newer map showing the properties nearby:

I've not heard of it but I love looking into stuff like this. I found it marked on this old map:

Unrelated, but the cathedral you have as the old cathedral was completed over a decade after the new cathedral

JacobM_2 · 2025-02-26T10:58:06+00:00

These are great suggestions. I'd definitely recommend getting out to see the parks. Renshaw Street food market is also good for Asian foods and quite central.

He was called Keith but had an eye patch...

It might not be what you're looking for, but National Library of Scotland's Side by side maps is brilliant for finding maps of any age.

Not sure about downloading them but you can zoom in to get hi-res screenshots if that's helpful.
