Two B&W photos of a sailing boat beached on a marsh, the first is a normal daylight photo, the second is exposed less to make it look like a shot taken late in the evening.

Yesterday exploring the day for night technique, I shot a roll of pairs of images. One exposed normally, around Zone V, the other using the sky to meter from, around Zone VII or two stops under.

I still have a collection of CDs, even though I rarely play them these days, vinyl is better and streaming is easier, but them being out of order has bugged me for some time, the Beatles and Bowie means there's a lot under 'B' !

Coffee and cameras, out and about playing with exposures, Superpan, a mild red filter, highlights and shadows.
Will develop when the footie is on the radio.

It's winter, but on days like this you can feel spring on the way.

A photo from 2023, I'm looking to maybe use more HP5, while its extremely popular and rightly so, I've resisted using it en-masse previously, but this might be the right time for me.

Two rolls of 220 in a 1L tank, I do wonder if there's sufficient reactant, but it's neat (replenished) developer, so hopefully ok 🤞

Using some GP3 in 220 today while taking the P645 out, it's quite a manageable camera with a prime, but this zoom takes it to another level in size.

I'd not used this film in 4x5 before this session, and found large some swirls on the emulsion, maybe its water marks I'm not sure, I'd definitely have a go at cleaning them if they were important
