4 Rolls Loaded

14-11-18

Well I have 4 cameras loaded with film, 2 of which are nearly complete and 2 just started, the weather has been a bit changeable so I haven’t been out photo walking recently, and I’m busy trying to tidy the house. So I thought I’d post a few images from August taken on a walk around the local arboretum, church and town. I was using my newly CLA’d Olympus OM2sp and experimenting with Rollei Superpan 200.

Reel Trouble #2

Managed to tidy up a few more images from the walk to the Arboretum on the 4th July. They are still a bit scratchy in places but it’s the best I could do without testing my patience to the limit.

Growth Rings

Pagan

Healthy

Used the almost opaque R72 filter for this one.

Cross

Standing Stones

Creeper

Sharp

Bark

Even though this film is difficult handle (for me) when processing I really like the images it gives. I have some more shots to post from the bike ride last week.

Olympus iS2000

On my visit to Abbey Park, Leicester on Friday I took the Olympus with me loaded with Fomapan 400 asa, never used this film before. Developed it in D76 stock solution, and scanned it in this morning accompanied by music from the excellent Sam Baker, and The Lonesome Brothers.

Basking

This little cat was rolling around basking in the sunshine. I thought it would move away as I got closer, but no, it wanted to be fussed. Not sure what the camera focused on for this shot.

Olympus iS-2000

Oh dear, just couldn’t resist ! I was bored and saw it on that auction site. No one else placed a bid so it was mine for £4.50p ($6.00 – €5.30) Luckily it all works as it should. Found a roll of Tesco film (exp 2008) made in Italy it says on the box (Ferrania I guess) hadn’t been fridge stored so didn’t know what to expect.

Searching for software

While looking for some old software today I came across a CD labeled 02-02 Spurn Head, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spurn then it all came back to me. I remember I was getting a bit stir crazy and needed to get out on the road, Spurn Head Yorkshire seemed an interesting place so off I set on a very foggy Sunday morning, only 145 miles(233 km)

Within 5 miles of Spurn Head amazingly the fog cleared, and the sun came out. The photo’s were taken on my Olympus OM2n with 135mm and 24mm Zuiko lenses on Kodak Ektachrome 200asa, I really miss that film stock.
