Nikon FE2, Nikkor 45mm f/2.8P, 1/90s, f8 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.

Apparently the Grade-II listed former Grammar School buildings have been ‘saved’ and are to become a ‘mixed-use development site’ (whatever one of those is…)

We wait with baited breath…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Eight years ago it was the Norfolk coastline…

Happisburgh lighthouse must be one of the most photographed structures in Norfolk and I certainly couldn’t resist pointing my camera at it…

For the pillbox fans out there the above structure is a type FW3/26, dating from 1940/early 1941.

We’ve not had a ‘Slide Film Sunday’ in a while have we?

The fishing boat E58 MISS PATTIE was photographed at Lyme Regis in September 2003 and as usual the slide surfaced while I was looking for something else entirely!

Single frame… Infrared experimentation

Nikon FA, Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 Ai-S + R72 filter – shutter speed unrecorded, f11, – Adox HR-50
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 7½ mins at 20°c.

In a recent post about infrared photography I mentioned a roll of Adox HR-50 that was waiting to be developed… this is the first edited image from that roll…

Again, nothing complicated on the settings front, aperture priority automatic, hyperfocal focusing and +1 stop exposure compensation (in this particular instance…)

I’m definitely going to be experimenting further with infrared!
