Olympus XA4 – Kentmere Pan 100
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 10½ mins at 20°c.

The first image from a recently acquired Olympus XA4.

The Olympus XA series had passed me by until I received an XA (the rangefinder model) a few years ago from an EMULSIVE Secret Santa and since then I’ve picked up a couple of XA2s and now an XA4.

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8 and Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Seagull 4A – 1/300s, f16 – Foma Pan 400
Developed in Ilford Ilfosol-S at 1:9, 8½ mins at 20°c.

A bit of an ‘oops!’ moment here… This roll of film was finished back in March but had been lurking in the camera, forgotten, since October 2018!

Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, pixl-latr and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 10 mins at 20°c.

Dalmally Hall has featured here before and if it’s still standing the next time I’m in the area it no doubt will do so again!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Six years ago it was the Forth Bridge, from both North and South Queensferry…

Sadly, the Albert Hotel at North Queensferry had closed its doors the previous year and as far as I know it still hasn’t reopened.
