Olympus XA2, D.Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 – Foma Pan 200
Developed in Adox FX-39 II at 1:9, 10 mins at 20°c.

That ‘Oops!’ moment when you realise a roll of film has been sitting in the camera for two years since you finished it!

An image from a trip to Scotland’s east coast in 2022.

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.

Nikon D100, Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4 AF-D at 30mm, 1/250, f8, ISO 200

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

20 years ago it was the general cargo ship SYDLAND making its way along Loch Linnhe to the ArjoWiggins paper mill at Corpach.

The closure of the mill (with the loss of 150 jobs) had been announced only a few days prior to this image being captured.

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.

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!
