Tim was also selected to judge the weather photographer of the year competition. Jointly convened by the Royal Photographic Society and Royal Meterological Society, the competition is hoped to be even more successful next year, with the involvement of the BBC, the reknowned British broadcaster.
At Photokina, Tim noticed the lack of Adox' Polywarmtone Project, the replacement for Forte Polywarmtone. The project may be well underway with much investment in its future, but so far has not made a splash yet. For lith printers, he has heard of problems with some batches of Slavich Unibrom. This paper is not made for lith, so results are not guaranteed. Meanwhile Bergger introduced a new B&W film, Pancro400 (thanks for the illustrated photos, Phoblographer!). The RPS also has forums in their new Analogue special interest group with more articles.
The newsletter also includes tantalizing articles on the resurgence of film. Out of Australia, tales of a resurgence of film, including wet collodion and darkrooms. An editorial proclaims film is back, and some photographers never left it. Fashion photography and authenticity drive the desire for film for some.
