Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:25, 8 mins at 20°c.
I can’t remember where I got this roll of Silberra Pan 100 film from but I didn’t have high hopes for it after using a roll of Ultima 160 a few years ago…
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was a small classic car show in a local park and this appropriately dressed couple caught my eye…
Does the image title refer to ‘the look’ they’re exchanging or their outfits… You decide.

Slide film Sunday… 1954 Chevrolet Bel-Air on Rollei Variochrome
1954 Chevrolet Bel-Air
Canon EOS 30, EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, 1/500s, f8, Rollei Variochrome
A little while ago I was sent a couple of rolls of Rollei Variochrome slide film to play with and to say I’m not impressed with the results are a massive understatement!
One roll was exposed at a classic car rally on a bright autumn day and although I didn’t have high hopes I did at least have some hopes of decent images… I mostly bracketed one stop either way of the meter reading and the above image is the ‘best’ of the lot!
The images are dull, lifeless, very grainy and not one is ‘correctly’ exposed and all these problems seem to have been noted by pretty much everyone who’s tried this film… I’m definitely in no hurry to expose the second roll!
