Wellington Hotel, Cromer
Wellington Hotel, Cromer
Canon EOS 5, Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM at 28mm, 1/90s, f8 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

Another image from the first roll of film through my charity shop find Canon EOS 5.

I loved how the sunlight (remember that?) projected the lettering on the door of the Wellington Hotel onto the doorframe. I’m not so keen on the obvious barrel distortion at the wide end of my Canon EF 28-135mm lens though…

A few weeks ago I shot a roll of Lomography Metropolis film in a Canon EOS 500N that I found at a car boot sale (for a fiver, complete with EF 35-80mm f/4.5.6 lens!) back in June…

I didn’t know what to expect from either the film or the camera but quite like the muted tones of the former and the light weight of the latter!

I’m amazed that Paul Day’s wonderful sculpture The Meeting Place at St Pancras station hasn’t featured here before… Obviously this is just a part of the sculpture but I’d only got a 40mm lens with me that day and couldn’t fit any more in!
