Barcelona Nights 2
Fast food kiosk, Moll d’ Espanya, Barcelona.
Barcelona Nights 1
More yachts and illegal street traders. Moll d’ Espanya, Barcelona. All three images this week were shot late at night on HP5+ rated at ISO 3200. It is very difficult to get clean images, as the film has little exposure latitude when pushed this far and these night scenes contain a lot of contrast.
Postcards from Kyoto…
Some snapshots taken on a half-day break while again in Kyoto for work – a good opportunity to get back to some favourite spots and a nice change from Barcelona.

Barcelona Colour
Four random colour scenes of everyday life in Barcelona. Colour shots taken in the market are really painful to edit, as the extremely mixed lighting makes getting anything vaguely approaching acceptable colour painful.

Three by three
Universidad de Barcelona, Carrer del Montalegre. Kodak Portra 400 processed in a Tetenal kit and converted to black and white.
Gourmet Jesus
Carrer dels Angels, Barcelona – this doorway was one of the subjects used in the very different “bubbles” images.
Stripes
The first of a series of film based street photographs, shot in Barcelona.
Urbanity
Winter is coming, in every sense, and Barcelona feels like a different city. Back to some street photography on Monday…
Simplicity 3
Parc della Ciutadella, Barcelona. Leica M7 with ZM 1,5/50 and Ilford Delta 100.
Simplicity 2
Mural on the side of College of Architects, Barcelona. Minolta X300 with 35-70mm and Ilford HP5+ rated at ISO 3200 and processed in DD-X. This was one of a series of films that were shot to try push-processing HP5 three stops, which gives an interesting effect with grain and contrast.
Simplicity 1
Tree branches, Barcelona. Leica M7 with ZM 1,4/35 and Ilford Delta 100 in DD-X 1+4.
Open House – Arc de Triomf
A short set of photographs taken at and on the Arc de Triomf in Barcelona. This was built in 1888 to support the Exposició Universal de Barcelona (World Fair), and frames the end of a large pedestrian boulevard. The arch is not normally accessible, but this year it was opened to the public as part of the 48H Open House BCN, allowing small groups of people access to the surprisingly roof space. It is quite an interesting structure, mostly made from simple red bricks with minimalist and simple ornamentation. […]
Moving On
Three distant hikers on Il Giumello, Italy. Leica M7 with ZM 1,4/35 and yellow filter on Ilford Delta 100 with DD-X 1+4 for 9:00 at 24c.
