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!

Ondu 135 Panoramic Pinhole + ND6 filter, 25s, f167 – Kosmo Foto Mono
Developed in Adox Rodinal at 1:50, 9 mins at 20°c.

The first roll of film through my Ondu 135 Panoramic pinhole camera wasn’t a total success, the first half of the roll suffering from overlapping frames as a result of me not counting ‘clicks’ correctly as the film’s sprocket holes catch on a small ‘tongue’ as the film is wound on…

I did eventually realise there is a definite ‘click, click, CLICK!’ though and counting the ‘CLICK’ has prevented overlapping frames.

Slide Film Sunday… The Upper Room by Colin Wilbourn

A couple of weeks ago I posted an image of Colin Wilbourn’s Stone Stair Carpet here and when browsing the artist’s website I discovered I’d photographed another of his creations in Durham back in February 2000.

The Upper Room was created from 13 elm trunks, arranged on the bank of the River Wear where they had grown. From most viewpoints they made little sense but at one end of the ‘grove’ there was a seat in a hollowed out trunk and from this seat the image of the empty room, complete with the remains of the meal that had taken place there became visible.

Eventually the wood deteriorated and the sculpture was dismantled…

An image from a roll of film that’s been sitting in the ‘to be developed’ pile since August last year!

Stone Stair Carpet by Colin Wilbourn is part of a sculpture walk along the River Wear in Sunderland and replace the worn out originals at the old North Dock.

This was my first roll of CineStill BwXX in 120 format and the first I’ve developed myself… I will definitely be shooting more!
