St. James's London- Duke of York Steps,Waterloo Place.

Another back-lit morning photograph shot in Central London in weak winter sunlight.This was with a Leica 111f and a Summitar f2 coated lens on T-Max 400. I can't decide if I should crop the pigeon that has crept into the frame at lower right!

Welcome to the Paul Blanchard Vintage Leica Postal Portfolio 06 Blog

Recording traditional Black & White photography created using mostly vintage Leica cameras by Paul Blanchard, Wiltshire UK., within the Grouping of Circle 6 of the Leica Society. Just a touch of Colour may creep in.

All of the monochrome photographs shown on this blog are from film and printed with a Leica Valoy 11 or Focomat 1c enlargers using Leica Focotar 2 lenses unless otherwise stated. In most cases originals were circulated in the Circle. I am introducing Ilford MG DeLuxe (5) paper at present. The films are often T-Max 400 on the first shots later changing to some Rollei RPX 25.where possible. Development of T-Max is in D 76 Dil. 1:1 for 10 mins. All RPX 25 is processed in FX-39. If diluted, 1:9, then time is 7.5 min. All at 20 degrees C. Colour, if any, is normally printed by The Darkroom Cheltenham.

From time to time other interesting enlargers appear but most use is made of Leica products.

Founded as Circle 6 of Leica Postal Portfolios in 1938, we are now known as The Leica Society, full details can be found on the website: http://www.theleicasociety.org.uk/-Have a look!
