I'm having a... complicated day! My wife was to be out this afternoon, so I contemplated devving the two films that are finished (FP4 and UN54), but it's a nice afternoon, so I decided to try and finish a couple of the other part taken films. I went out with the GS645S, and was getting on quite...

I should get back into posting more images here. I've fallen out of the habit as I was posting pretty much daily to Twitter, now to photog.social, part of the Mastodon Fediverse (I'm @carusb@photog.social). Anyway, here are some late winter trees in afternoon sunshine, in Abbey Fields...

Yes, Filmdev are pretty rapid, very well priced compared with most, if you're getting scans, and do pretty good quality scans.

The group here used to do irregular film photo meets at various places; there have been a couple at Bristol IIRC. We just fell out of the habit, what with the dreaded lurgy etc. A few of us just had a fabulous day out in Castleton. I think there are a few folk who would like to revive the...

I passed on that opportunity! We're home, pizza's in the oven, that was an excellent day. I think I exposed just over two rolls: half an FP4, a whole roll of UN54, and half a roll of Ferrania Orto (all those in the Pentax MX), plus a few of the dud Tri-X in my GS645S (which I wasn't getting on...

Anyone going on this? I'd almost signed up for the Birmingham walk, then realised I'll be traveling that day! https://analoguewonderland.co.uk/products/the-big-film-photowalk?variant=48937673818387 It's £12 but you get a roll of film apparently, so not all bad.

Oh maybe I'd better put another couple of rolls in... and maybe another lens? I'm (only) taking 3 cameras! I've got an extra roll of 120 in case I can get a go with Ian's 6x17. Do I need to bring my tripod, @Harlequin565 ? (I hate tripods.) Maybe I'll stick the monopod in... Anyone thinking of...

My wife just spotted a new lens arriving, so I suspect she'd not be impressed if I said I was spending cash on train fares to London on the possibility of spending more cash on more old cameras or lenses! Love the idea though.

That sounds an excellent plan, I hear they have some hills there too!

We have a two hour plus drive, and my wife is coming too (she'll likely be meeting a friend). I'm a bit concerned about our departure time! Aiming for 8 but that's VERY early for us... Nige has my phone number, I won't be able to WhatsApp while driving, nor access the thread.

But still need an account and trust someone with your credit card details again... I'll try to rustle up the cash (£6.80 for 4 hours to all day).

Some logistical questions... rather than hang around a car park, should we meet in a coffee shop? Lunch in a pub?

This page talks about parking at Castleton visitor centre. Cash or a new-to-me phone app. :( https://www.highpeak.gov.uk/article/873/Castleton

Sorry you can't come, Stephen. This is looking like a small and select group. Are you coming, @srichards ?

I am really hoping to come to this; it still depends on some delicate domestic negotiations!
