Developed in Ilford DDX at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.
After yesterday’s post on a film failure I thought I’d post something more positive today… the first image from my first roll of Ilford Ortho Plus.
Ilford say this film is ideally suited to landscape photography and I can’t really argue with that recommendation…

Slide film Sunday… 1954 Chevrolet Bel-Air on Rollei Variochrome

Canon EOS 30, EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, 1/500s, f8, Rollei Variochrome
A little while ago I was sent a couple of rolls of Rollei Variochrome slide film to play with and to say I’m not impressed with the results are a massive understatement!
One roll was exposed at a classic car rally on a bright autumn day and although I didn’t have high hopes I did at least have some hopes of decent images… I mostly bracketed one stop either way of the meter reading and the above image is the ‘best’ of the lot!
The images are dull, lifeless, very grainy and not one is ‘correctly’ exposed and all these problems seem to have been noted by pretty much everyone who’s tried this film… I’m definitely in no hurry to expose the second roll!

The City of Winchester is a wonderful place for a gentle wander with a camera and if you’re of a certain age you might just find yourself humming the 1966 song “Winchester Cathedral” by The New Vaudeville Band!
