We’ve not had a ‘Slide Film Sunday’ in a while have we?
The fishing boat E58 MISS PATTIE was photographed at Lyme Regis in September 2003 and as usual the slide surfaced while I was looking for something else entirely!

Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 7½ mins at 20°c.
In a recent post about infrared photography I mentioned a roll of Adox HR-50 that was waiting to be developed… this is the first edited image from that roll…
Again, nothing complicated on the settings front, aperture priority automatic, hyperfocal focusing and +1 stop exposure compensation (in this particular instance…)
I’m definitely going to be experimenting further with infrared!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Seven years ago it was this Rudbeckia hirta ‘Sunbeckia Luna’ flower (at least I think that’s what it is…)
I could probably pick fault with the quality this image in a number of ways but as it makes me smile I won’t!
Here endeth today’s lesson! 😁
