Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
Things have been a little quiet here of late, I’ve not had much enthusiasm for photography, or anything else really… But we’re now approaching my favourite time of the year, autumn, and hopefully that will make me feel a bit more enthusiastic and productive!
Anyway… here’s another image from a trip to Calke Abbey last August.
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

I’m not over fond of zoom lens compact/point & shoot cameras but the Fujifilm DL-270 Zoom seems fairly capable. Not bad for a fiver!

An image from one of my first colour rolls developed by Analogue Wonderland’s new ‘Wonderlab’
They certainly won’t be the last rolls I send them though… lovely clean negatives (albeit sleeved in strips of four, I prefer strips of six) and excellent scans make me a very happy bunny!
