Sunny 16 Podcast

Holy Cow where did the time go? This month marks 10 years since two naïve youngish men thought it would be a fine idea to put out a podcast about film photography. Somehow 10 years later that's still the case (apart from the youngish bit). Join us as we celebrate in the best way by getting the gang back together for a good old ramble. Foremost thing to know is that Rachel is suffering from a condition called FND which impacts her in many ways, including quite obviously her speech. She talks about this in the show, but to learn more go here: https://www.fndaction.org.uk/what-is-functional-neurological-disorder/ Ade's website is here: https://adrianstock.com/ Dirty Little Zine: https://dirtylittlezine.com/ Thank you for being with us on our journey!

Rachel and Clare talk to Charys & Marwan from SilverBridges, the newly formed company (along with Jeff & Susan Bridges) who are bringing the brand new WideluxX film camera to market. The first run of 350 cameras drops right now over at wideluxx.com - so if you want to get your hands on one, hop on over there now, and come back to hear more from the team.

This week we're joined by the ever delightful Paul Mckay from Analogue Wonderland for our not quite as regular as it should be dive into what's what in the film selling world in 2026 - what are people buying, perhaps more importantly what are people selling and what can we look forwards to over the next year, at least from Analogue Wonderland! Go here for all the film: https://analoguewonderland.co.uk/ And here to keep up with there antics: https://www.instagram.com/analoguewonderland/?hl=en

In this show we follow up on our previous conversation and talk about some of the services we've used over the years to both store and share our photos, and their various pros and cons. We also talk about various and diverse other subjects as we range far and wide, and also have a couple of great listener emails!

Clare, Rachel and Graeme return to talk about Clare's experiences exhibiting and giving demonstrations on photography in China as well as giving talks AND performing as her musical alter ego Mirror Gaze, Rachel has been out getting inspired by the work of Lee Miller, and Graeme got wet on a hill in Wales - business as usual all round. We also talk about the recent Holga week which we were lucky enough to be involved in the judging of, and we discuss ways of still shooting even when the weather says stay indoors. Worth noting, Clare just listens to the weather. Take part in the Cheap Shots Challenge! The subject for this round is Embrace the Darkness, so get out there and do that (although don't just run up and hug Justin Hawkins, he seems like he wouldn't love that).

Easing ourselves back into the podcasting chairs this week after a brief break we thought who better to bring on for a slightly rambling chat about the state of film photography in 2025 than the one an only Hamish Gill of 35mmc, Analogue Spotlight, Pixelatr, Omnar lenses and more fame! No one, that's who. https://www.35mmc.com/ https://omnarlenses.com/
