Very demure

This morning I quickly developed a film, last week I found some film I didn’t realise I had (because it was in a bag full of reusable 135 film canisters and other miscellaneous related crap, I thought they were all empty) and had no idea what it was other than that I put it in an old Agfapan 100 canister so it’s probably like that or I wouldn’t have done that

I dug out another bag over the weekend containing the jugs dev tank spirals etc and some developer and fix and a concertina tank full of fix – all of which I haven’t touched in probably about ten years

The dev is a modern Rodinal alternative, so will last forever, and I made it up as 1+25, for a 135 plastic spiral, and gave it 8 mins + at what somehow turned out to be pretty much spot on 20°C (it’s usually more and I can’t get it down)

I used the fix in the concertina tank but ditched it afterwards, I’m assuming it’s either spent already or is now that I’ve used it again, it was in the tank from last time it was used and I don’t know how many times that was (probably once, but still, a decade ago) so maybe this fix will turn the film brown in time – I gave it a very good thorough wash between dev and fix, and also a very good thorough wash after fix, including a dash of photoflo wetting agent, and now it’s on the clips hanging up drying

This confirms a couple of things – I had (and probably still have) a bulk roll of Jessops Pan 100 in one of my two bulk loaders (the other has HP5 but has an amount of base fog), the other thing is that despite my Nikon F4 ejaculating a whole shutter blade the other month when I tried it after finding the F4 again after all these years, the shutter seems to do the job even minus that broken-off blade, and the metering/exposure is okay, and it all works #Film #phoots #phootgraphy #NikonF4 #JessopsPan100S

A strip of wet film that I’m holding by the edges, black and white, 135, with distinct 35mm frames of images from the Nikon F4 camera that shot the images

The rebate markings of the film tell me that it is Jessops Pan 100S

…which is nice

Recently purchased a #NikonF4, and what's the best way to test it? Take some pics of other cameras, of course.

This means that my quest to get an example of each 1-digit Nikon Fs is 50 % complete!

✅ All speeds work.
✅ Light meter works.
✅ Hot shoe and PC-sync for flash work.
✅ LCDs are clear (mostly).
✅ A fvcking joy to use.
❌ Manual focus for a cheeky self-portrait is still tricky. Oh well!

In the foreground, in clear focus, is a chainlink fence that fills the entire image. In the background, an out of focus field of rubble in which stands a solitary traffic cone.

A place for everything and everything has its place.

A capped off pipe forms an “L” shape from which hangs, from two chains, a white metal plant basket filled with fine straw and a bit of refuse. The background is an old brick wall.

A hole in the first course of bricks reveals a smaller hole in the next course in which is nestled, on a bed of dried grass, a coiled and bundled length of lightweight, black rope.

Stillness by the old millways.

Looking through the trees at concrete structures in the water beside an old disused mill.

A slow decay into silence.

A decrepit old mill building stands next to a broken dam. Its brick foundation has begun to break down and the wooden siding of the upper structure is bleached and streaked and peeling away. Several painted signs declare “Purina Chows” on the side.

Updated the photo blog. Camera: Nikon F4, Nikkor Ai Mount Lenses. Film: Fuji Superia 400, processed by Graination Lab. #staybrokeshootfilm #classiccamerarevival #nikonf4

Sometimes the universe delivers a Skydiggers album cover.

Same roll of Ilford PanF50+ as before but this was exposed only 9 days before processing.

A small barn in an early winter field has seen better days as it gradually succumbs to wind, weather, and neglect.

Courtyard construction.

So, I have learned that Ilford PanF50+ really needs to be processed within a couple weeks of exposure. Huh.

A black and white fish-eye lens photograph of a courtyard under construction. Each part of the courtyard is at a different stage of having the membrane removed and replaced, lending a sense of chaos to the scene. Pigeon netting forms a grid in front of us.

Sunday morning abstract: fluid light.

A pond at night, light makes the ripples look like textured glass. Tree shadows form pathways.

A walk by the lake.

A person in a deep red shirt walks past emergency water rescue equipment and a concrete walk. Beyond is the lake.

A branch of a wild shrub bearing white flowers and small green leaves stands in focus before a background of out of focus monolithic condo towers.

Aftermath: I know it’s not surprising with a storm like that and I’m definitely not alone but it does feel like flooding is following the studio. Jeez, it’s not even set up!
