So, the journey continues...

I now have some filmholders (double-darkslides) to go with my recently-purchased MPP Micro-Technical camera. I bought the camera at a camera fair just before Christmas and spent a few contented hours getting the shutter up to scratch and making a temporary ground-glass screen.

Having bought some film (which arrived before Christmas too) I have been champing at the bit somewhat - unable to take pictures without darkslides (I should have got some filmholders with the camera, but the seller said that he was going to send them on - they have now arrived!). This has meant that I have been able to read up on and experiment with the effects of the camera movements.

I think that this weekend I will do a few portraits of my sister's family before they emigrate to Australia on June 22nd... and hope I don't mess up the processing!
