Sunny 16 Podcast

As the shooting period for this years Holga Week closes we're finally going to release the tapes of the one and only time we recorded our judging process, back in the year that was 2020. Clare Marie Bailey, Graeme and the wonderful and eternally missed John Whitmore embark on a test of their endurance, patience and friendship as they attempt to pick a winner they can agree on from a field of 155 great shots. It isn't a "proper" podcast by any measure, but if you're interested in hearing how we approached the judging process, and more importantly in the mood for some truly classic Clareness, Graeme convincingly portraying an exasperated tyrant and best of all, John being John then this might be for you. Want to see the pictures we were discussing so you can decide how wrong we were? Head over here then! https://holgaweek.com/2020/?cat=Street Many thanks to the fine folks at Holga Week for continuing to involve us to this day their wonderful event - https://holgaweek.com/

Hello! After an unplanned absence we're back with a wee shortie. Rachel and Graeme, faced as many of us in the Northern hemisphere are with the dark and gloomy months go through their favourite methods of keeping the photography going over even the greyest of days Sunny 16 Discord: https://discord.gg/sYfpRcj79

This episode we're joined by the wonderful and only slightly mad genius behind all things Cameradactyl, Ethan Moses! We talk about how he's designed a complete system to allow us to shoot large format images on rolls of paper, including a full processing system to allow for easy development, even if you want to shoot colour reversal. He also explains why a 3D printer may be an increasingly valuable piece of kit for any photographer. You can find all of Ethan's fantastic work here: https://www.cameradactyl.com/

Today marks another big step in arguably one of the most important ongoing projects in the analogue photography world, Harman Technologies work to develop a high quality new colour film. The launch of Phoenix 2 is, whilst by no means the end of this journey still an exciting look at the incredible process they are making, and a fun and highly useable film itself. Joining Rachel and Graeme to talk all about it, what exactly it is (and isn't), the improvements and changes over the original Phoenix film and the quirks it still has is the fabulous Michelle Parr from Harman/Ilford. We also discuss how this launch affects availability of the original Phoenix (and Red), what the next steps will be and more. https://www.harmanphoto.co.uk/harman-phoenix-ii-35mm Follow their colour film journey @harmanphoto and share your photos with #phoenixfilm2 #harmanphoenix2
