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.

Yes it’s that pylon again! I think this is its first time in colour though…

I’ve recently started re-digitising some of my older negatives to take advantage of the Negative Lab Pro plug-in for Lightroom that’s now part of my workflow.

The original scan of this image was quite cold, not how I remember that particular evening’s light at all but Negative Lab Pro’s conversion is pretty much spot on!

Crail is a delightful harbour town on the Fife coast, famous for its fresh shellfish and its annual food festival.

It was very chilly and rather breezy the day I was there, with only a handful of (well wrapped up) tourists braving the elements…

I received five rolls of film back from the lab today, this image is from a roll of Ilford HP5 Plus shot in a charity shop find Seagull 4A twin-lens reflex camera.

Fife Ness is a headland that forms the most easterly point in Fife, Scotland and consists mainly of a windswept golf course and a light house.

The circular marks in the rocks in the foreground are the remains of a template for a lighthouse that was started in 1813 by the engineer Robert Stevenson. The cut stones for the tower were checked against these marks to ensure they would fit perfectly before being shipped out to the offshore North Carr Reef. Construction ended in 1818 when the almost complete lighthouse was destroyed in a winter storm.
