Nikon F80, AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D, 1/90s, f8 – Ilford HP5 Plus
Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

I’ve not felt like blogging much of late… or photography… or pretty much anything else really but as we approach the end of the year I’m doing my best to motivate myself to get out and about more.

Spending just a bit of time outdoors with a camera does wonders for my mental wellbeing, I just need a push to get me going again…

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.

That ‘Oops!’ moment when you realise a roll of film has been sitting in the camera for two years since you finished it!

Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

An image from a trip to Calke Abbey last August, an image I wasn’t confident about at all… hand-holding the camera at 1/30th second with the lens wide open at f/3.5!

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.
