Canon EOS 30, EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, 1/350s, f5.6 – Ilford Delta 400 Professional rated at ISO 800
Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

I’m amazed that Paul Day’s wonderful sculpture The Meeting Place at St Pancras station hasn’t featured here before… Obviously this is just a part of the sculpture but I’d only got a 40mm lens with me that day and couldn’t fit any more in!

Nikkormat FT2, NIKKOR-H Auto 50mm f/2, 1/125s, f8 – Kentmere Pan 400
Developed in Ilford Ilfosol 3 at 1:9, 6½ mins at 20°c.

A few years ago I found a shabby NIKKOR-H Auto 50mm f/2 lens in a charity shop for a fiver… I wouldn’t say the results are shabby though, would you?

Nikon F75, AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D, 1/180s, f8 – Adox Color Implosion!

I’m not sure how long this roll of Adox Color Implosion! had been sitting in my F75 but Adox appear to have ceased production of this film in 2017!

I obviously didn’t pay much attention to the tell-tale window on the back of the camera either as until I unloaded it I thought it was a roll of black & white film!

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!

The Canon EOS 30/EF 40mm f/2.8 STM combo is probably my favourite camera for snapshots at the moment, I’ve used it quite a bit this summer…

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!
