Olympus XA4 – Kentmere Pan 100
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

The first image from a recently acquired Olympus XA4.

The Olympus XA series had passed me by until I received an XA (the rangefinder model) a few years ago from an EMULSIVE Secret Santa and since then I’ve picked up a couple of XA2s and now an XA4.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Seagull 4A – 1/300s, f16 – Foma Pan 400
Developed in Ilford Ilfosol-S at 1:9, 8½ mins at 20°c.

A bit of an ‘oops!’ moment here… This roll of film was finished back in March but had been lurking in the camera, forgotten, since October 2018!

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.

Nikon D300, AF-S NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR at 80mm, 1/320s, f9, ISO 200

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

15 years ago it was Another Place by Antony Gormley at Crosby beach on Merseyside.

I remember being somewhat underwhelmed by the sculptures and quickly turned my attention to the passing ships.
