Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
Things have been a little quiet here of late, I’ve not had much enthusiasm for photography, or anything else really… But we’re now approaching my favourite time of the year, autumn, and hopefully that will make me feel a bit more enthusiastic and productive!
Anyway… here’s another image from a trip to Calke Abbey last August.
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.

Eleven years ago it was the Light Clock at the Royal Derby Hospital.
