It's been on my list to make it up to Scotland ever since moving to the UK, and I finally decided to make it happen. This was a big one, with a ton of miles put on over three days, varied weather, a couple different 6x7 cameras (the Pentax 6x7 and Bronica GS-1), and very short days exploring some beautiful landscapes. I can't wait to get back with some more time. I ..read more

In this video, I’m out shooting with, by far, the oldest film camera I’ve ever used. Head to https://squarespace.com/kylemcdougall to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code KYLEMCDOUGALL A few months back, I experimented with a pinhole camera as a tool to use for some images for my Slate City project to create a unique period look. Someone in the comments mentioned I should try a Kodak Brownie, so I picked up a No.2 model E, which uses 120 film. In this video, I head out for the day to South Wales and shoot some Ilford FP4 to see what the images look like from this ..read more

In this video, for part two of my Finland trip, I’m shooting with the Plaubel Makina 670 while on a road trip in Finland. After exploring Kamerastore in part one, I wanted to get out and spend a day driving back roads in Finland and shooting some film. Along with the Plaubel, I also bring out my freshly checked-over Contax RTSII. I even found the Finnish Route 66 at the end of the day!

In this video, I’m heading to Finland for an inside look at Kamerastore, a true haven for film photography fans. I tour their impressive operation, where they buy, repair, and sell all kinds of film cameras and lenses. Plus, they’ve got an enormous vault of spare parts full of interesting things. I’ll also explore their collection of rare and interesting gear, meet the people behind the scenes, and get a feel for what makes this place so unique. Next week, in episode two, I take a couple of cameras out on the road to explore central Finland and take some images. One of them is a camera I’ve be ..read more

I find one of the most impressive pieces yet (and probably one of the best surviving in terms of condition) tucked away in an old auto shop. On one of my first trips for this project, I came across several murals and paintings on an old USAAF base, and ever since, I’ve been curious about what else is out there waiting to be found. This was a fun o ..read more

Well, not even a year after the initial release of Harman Phoenix in 35mm, we now have a 120 version! I managed to get my hands on some rolls a couple of months beforehand, and in this video, I’m sharing my results and thoughts, including side-by-side comparisons with the 35mm format, which I shot at the same time. I will say that I’ve enjoyed the 120 version much more, and it feels much less ‘experimental’.
