Field Note # 1
The Yew tree at Nevern revisited. Location - St Brynach's Church, Nevern, Pembrokeshire. 25 March 2026 - John Nesbitt 10 x 8 field Camera Visit 1 - Early March 26 I had visited the church at Nevern many times before and it was the first place I wanted to go once I had got to grips with the new-to-me 10x8 camera. My first visit in early March had been fruitful, with a couple of images that I was pleased with, both of which also feature in this post. I did though have a slight

PanF+...in sheets (or the day silver became more sought after than gold)
If you would like to receive email updates about new blog posts, click here and leave your email address (opens a new window). When I restarted my blog posting 10 days or so ago.....I really did not expect to be writing this one. If you had told me that a mere few days after releasing that post the landscape of large format film photography will have changed (hopefully forever) so dramatically, I would not have believed a word of it.

Going Back...to Go Forward (A 10x8 Journey Begins)
Over the past few months I’ve found myself thinking more carefully about the way I photograph, and where it leads to over time.

I am still exposing film and developing it but the “display” of this work has been put on hold to enable a recalibration to evolve in its own time. It’s become clear to me that the work only really makes sense when it is done for myself, at my o

A return to view cameras .. an unpopular opinion and .. a 120 field camera and .... GAS (Part 1)
During #filmjune, I was forced to think about a few things that had been simmering away in the back of my mind for a while. Eventually a few questions came up that made me think about what works for me and what doesn't. I had earlier in the year decided to make a concerted effort to use my large format view cameras more and examined why I had decided to do this. This image was made about 15 minutes walk from my home and in a place where I thought I had exhausted all opport
