Travel and street film photography. And sometimes other genres too. Formerly in China, now not. Make it ’til you make it.
Testing the Canon Sure Shot AF-7 in Chongqing
Part 2 of 2
March 13, 2018
This post is Part 2 of a test run did of an old film camera I bought. The camera, a Canon Sure Shot AF-7, was loaded with Kodak ColorPlus. The images are very, very minimally cropped, if at all. I wanted to preserve imperfections at the edges of the frames and also keep a consistent feel to the set.— Lee Webb.
Testing the Canon Sure Shot AF-7 in Chongqing
Part 1 of 2

Airport Square in Chongqing is probably not a place you’ll ever go to. That’s not me being an elitist travel bore. Not deliberately anyway. Airport Square is a place I found myself in due to a bonus day in Chongqing after a delayed flight caused a missed connection.— Lee Webb.
From Church, Charity Shop to a Coastal City in China
February 20, 2018
If you’re reading this, you probably have some interest in film photography. You may shoot film yourself. If you do, you’ve probably been doing so for longer than me. I started less than a year ago, which makes me evidence that there’s always someone thinking about picking up a film camera for the first time.— Lee Webb.
Shooting Ilford Pan 400 in Shanghai
Classic Grainy Monochrome in China’s Greatest Metropolis
September 19, 2017
After testing out my charity shop film cameras with Kodak ColorPlus — because that was the only film they had in my local Tesco — I wanted to give monochrome a go. So I bought some Ilford Pan 400 — a film that seems common in Asia but unavailable in the US or the UK — and did exactly that. The main project for the rolls was shooting a trip to my better half’s home town, which I did. You can see how that went here. In the meantime, I’d returned to Shanghai with half an unshot roll still in the camera, which meant I could get some bonus photographs of what is really now my adopted home town.— Lee Webb.
Testing the Olympus Supertrip in Shanghai
A New Old Camera in a New Old City
July 29, 2017
The Olympus Supertrip is the second of two film cameras I picked up from a charity shop in Nottingham. The other was a Canon Sure Shot AF-7. If you’ve not read it yet, I’d recommend the article I wrote about them both here. While the test run of the Canon Sure Shot AF-7 was mainly done in Chongqing, I tested the Olympus Supertrip once I’d got back to Shanghai.— Lee Webb.
