Through the Gate
So there we have it. The final Baldixette photograph taken from the roll of film shot in North Wales in 2004. I love this remarkable little camera. It’s simple to use and importantly it puts you firmly back into the driving seat as a photographer, delivering great results with a bit of effort. You have to think and work with the camera to get an image. That’s not a bad thing for a photographer to experience in this auto-everything world.

Another shot taken using the Baldixette camera. The camera was purchased in North Wales back in 2004, although sadly I can’t exactly remember where i found it. I think it may have been a charity shop in Conwy, but I could be wrong.
I’ve only ever put one film through the camera (in North Wales) just as an experiment and to see how the camera performed as an image making tool. It was easy to use, however you had to prepare yourself before carefully clicking the shutter as it seems to fire only as quickly as you can press and release the button. There is no set shutter speed from what i can gather, making the film exposing process an interesting one.
It was fun going back to a basic camera like the Baldixette. It is a true photographer’s camera; no gadgets or software to get in the way of the picture taking. The photographer controls the whole image taking process. Hmm I may just put roll number two through the camera this summer just to see what I can get.

It has been very quiet on the blog this last month. One or two family dilemmas to deal with. There will be, however, a gradual return to a normal service this month starting with the other Agfapan 25 image posts i promised to post a few weeks ago. I’ll post them this week.
