Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 7½ mins at 20°c.
An image from this time last year! At first the roll was in the ‘to be developed’ queue and then it was in the ‘to be digitised’ queue!
…and I really must get some more Adox HR-50!

Throwback Thursday… Morecambe Bay, July 2014

Nikon D600, AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR at 75mm, 1/500s, f8, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
12 years ago it was Morecambe Bay and the distant Heysham Nuclear Power Station.
The light was constantly changing thanks to a combination of clouds and a strong wind and had we not been on our way elsewhere I would’ve spent a lot more time here (although I can’t remember exactly where ‘here’ was!)

Such beautiful soft light, illuminating distant sunflower fields.

Ilford Delta 400 Professional
An image from the archives today (but only recently digitised).
I’m reasonably certain this was taken during an early morning walk from the village of Malham in the Yorkshire Dales to Janet’s Foss, I’m slightly less certain that it was taken on Wifey’s 40th birthday.
As is often the case I’ve no idea of camera, lens, exposure, development…

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!
