Delta 400, Konica Hexar, Inverleith Park, Museum of Modern Art, local cemetery, Edinburgh.

I don't think I've used Ilford's Delta 400 before, but I quite like its fresh look compared to my usual XP2.

This is one of the films I like very much, both on 35 mm as in 120 roll film. Great shots. I like the first one especially, I'm a sucker for such ironwork gates and stuff....

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Rense. Yes, I'm impressed with the film - once I'd remembered how to scan it!

I'll get some 120 later. I'm out with Medium Format camera at the moment, but with some HP5. And the heavens have opened. Soaked. Managed find a pub with a wood fire. Bliss. Let it rain!

 

[Rense Haveman]

Rain???? You poor Scotsmen! Here, at the edge of the continent we’re enjoying the sun, in our garden, with a glass of white wine...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ah, but we love rain. It reminds us that we are born to suffer, and are not worthy of a good life...or so it often seems.

 

[Rense Haveman]

Thats the good old protestant attitude! I recognise it with my eyes closed!!!

 

[Pete Askew]

It's just that He knows you're a sinner, Rob and, by making you wet, you'll just suffer longer in the fires of hell!

But, until then keep on using Delta 400, one of my favourites as well. I also like the ironwork very much, and the wrinkly plastic hut.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, Hell is more than I deserve, clearly. I can only yearn to be so lucky!

So, in the meantime I'll work my way through four more rolls of the Delta greys.

Who knew there were so many ironwork fanatics in this forum?

 

[Pete Askew]

We're all heavy metal men here, Rob. Gold in our teeth, silver in our hair and lead in our bones!

One of Ina's favourite jokes - Oh, how we laugh!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

A good one, though.

 

[Dave Farnes]

That is a fine set. I love the ironwork, stone and bare trees in the first one.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Dave. Yes, all the elements work together. Pleased with it. And just enough relief in the clouds.
