Nikon F-601, AF NIKKOR 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 at 50mm, 1/60s, f3.8 – Ilford HP5 Plus
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

I did eventually track down a working Nikon F-601 (after the last one I bought expired after less than one roll…) and this image is from the first film put through it.

This Nissen hut (or at the least the remains of it) stands beside the the High Peak Trail near Cromford in Derbyshire… A lovely place to have a wander with a camera (or two).

Another image from my recent stroll around Chester Green in Derby.

It took me a moment or two to work out why this simple view of a city street appealed to me quite so much… No cars!
