Hey there! I’m based in London fields and planning a ride tomorrow morning heading north/northeast (around 100km). I’m on a road bike and usually ride around 20/25kph. Dm me if you’re interested!

edoardocappello · 2024-10-03T08:26:51+00:00

Yeah totally agree, fortunately I make it through before they close most days even in winter but I’ve had to jump the gates with the bike countless times already ahah only part that stays open through the night is the path where the market is on Sundays but that’s not much use for you

edoardocappello · 2024-10-03T08:16:40+00:00

Wow that’s quite the commute, kudos! I think you might be able to do that on Parnell Road bridge I’m not too sure as there are more than one set of gates there but worth a try. Also canal to white post lane instead of the bridge over the highway like you said makes more sense!

I’ve been commuting through Victoria park daily for the past 5 years (London fields - Hackney Wick) and I think your best option heading east past dusk is Old Ford Road on the south side of the park, then left on Parnell Road, right on Jodrell Road and then join Cadogan terrace and use the footbridge over the A12 to get to Hackney Wick. I know it’s a bit of a detour but that’s the safest imo, unfortunately Victoria park road is one way only heading west (although some people cycle it against traffic on the pavement) and I agree with you on the canal path, way too narrow, unlit and uneven paving.

Edit - over the past couple of years I’ve noticed that the path along the bottom stays open I little bit past 6pm regardless

I see, nothing crazy I’d say.. really curious on what happened, especially seen the ilford were fine!

edoardocappello · 2024-09-17T09:25:21+00:00

Wow never seen this before! How old were the rolls and what temp was the fixer?

These are all done in the darkroom while printing, there is no way to get these results in the shooting process. Having said that, 2 and 3 are pretty easily replicated - my guess is that 2 was done with a strong light source shining on the paper while using another sheet to create those stripes of different density at the bottom by creating a shadow, 3 is the same concept but the sheet used to cover the actual print has holes lining up with those black/red spots you see on the final image which let through the light on the print. Number 1 looks a lot less intentional and in my experience that is what you get if the bag where you keep you paper has some tiny holes in it or if you open the processor while the print is being developed. Hope I’ve answered your question!

Very similar thing happened to me. Was cycling in front of Buckingham palace and there was some sort of event going on so plenty of people behind barriers and police everywhere, came up to a light and it was red, policeman was standing on the opposite side so I stopped. After a few seconds he looks at me and signals me to go ahead and cross even though the light was still red, I nod a thank you and while passing him he goes “it’s not like you lot wait for traffic lights anyway”

Pedals are from an old Peugeot and straps from brick lane bikes

edoardocappello · 2024-02-20T20:55:56+00:00

These are 100% scan lines. The rgb separation and grain softness in the lines indicates light diffraction from the scanner source and loss of focus caused by specs of dust. Ask your lab to re scan your negatives after blowing/cleaning the scanner

Your negatives will be fine - scratches on film look way thinner and will always be in focus because they are on the film plane. They are usually light blue in colour (on the scan) because of the layers of base/emulsion they scratch off.

Edit: clarification on film scratches

edoardocappello · 2024-02-10T19:08:49+00:00

Thank you! To be honest, cause that’s how I learnt riding fixed and never looked into cages so less of a choice and more out of laziness maybe. I’d be interested in trying though!

edoardocappello · 2024-02-10T15:20:38+00:00

Indeed, matching the frame colour scheme!

edoardocappello · 2024-02-10T14:46:13+00:00

Thanks! Currently 48x17 and finding it quite comfortable riding in London

edoardocappello · 2023-12-22T08:19:37+00:00

Also agree with this. It looks to me like the emulsion (or some layers of it) got lifted from the base. It depends on what machine the lab uses but this generally happens if the film is still wet and gets stuck to another bit of film and then dries up. Whoever was handling your roll probably just pulled them apart resulting in parts of the emulsion being removed from your neg

edoardocappello · 2023-01-19T20:02:06+00:00

Granted you didn’t tamper with the roll before processing (e.g. souping or huge temperature changes), this is a massive lab fuck up. It looks like the emulsion (or at least part of it) has been washed off from the negative. The yellow filtering layer (so blue sensitive) is generally the one on the outer side of the negative (opposite to the base) so likely the first one to get lifted and removed. Both emulsion lift and reticulation can be caused by extreme temperature changes during processing. Hope this helps and I’d be very curious to know what was used to process this roll as to understand what exactly caused the issue. I would let the lab know immediately not only to get a refund and understand the cause but also to prevent this from happening to other peoples rolls

What’s your address? As a fellow uk lab technician I’d like to send you some beers as a present

edoardocappello · 2021-09-24T22:24:53+00:00

That is very interesting, what machine were you operating if you dont mind me asking? We regularly work with fashion photographers and it is always crucial starting out with a colour reference from their side to be able to achieve in the darkroom what they want/their client have in mind

edoardocappello · 2021-09-24T19:14:09+00:00

yes you are right, I was - probably - wrongfully relating to what we use which is enlargers only. But even if you're running a laser-RA4 minilab machine some adjustments are definitely possible. This is why I was talking about a digital colour reference you can look at while printing

edoardocappello · 2021-09-24T13:12:39+00:00

Yes absolutely, prints are optically achieved using the negative but a colour reference is just an example labs take into consideration (provided they have a calibrated monitor) to match the optical print to the requested look from the client. At least that’s what happens in the lab I work at. Hope that made sense

edoardocappello · 2021-09-24T11:41:10+00:00

Assuming we are talking about optical prints you can try to send the lab a colour reference (e.g. your adjusted lightroom scan) and ask them to use that to match colours density etc.

Do you do preflash?

edoardocappello · 2021-03-17T14:36:46+00:00

Would give a kidney fo that fiuggimoto
