ILFORD SFX and Dunkeld

[Rob MacKillop]

All shot with the Konica Hexar, and a 35mm roll of Ilford's SFX film, with an orange filter on the lens.
In no particular order:


1. Birnam Bridge, with Birnam Wood (mentioned in MacBeth) in the background:





2. Very clear water - about three foot deep. River Tay:





3. Fishing Station. Notice the slots in the wooden stand, for the fishing rods to rest on. Prime salmon fishing area.




4. On The Hermitage Walk. I have a similar shot with the DP0 Quattro, but marginally prefer this one:





5. Rhona getting serious with a pinhole camera. Still awaiting the results from ag photographic:





6. Tay View:





7. The girls on a woodland walk, river Tay on the right:





8. Early last morning:





9: River Tay again:





10: That sinking feeling:

11. Tree in river:






12. Tree:





It's hard not to compare them with the digital shots from the same walks. Both different, both valuable to me.

Very nice series, Rob.

Lovely set Rob. The tree in River stood out as did the last one. The clear water fooled me for a while, super clear water it is. The action of Rhona and the camera works well as part of the set connecting the human presence to such a place as the River Tay.
As a teenager I'd been down the Tay in a ship delivering rolled steel to Perth destined for a car factory. Much prettier up stream where you took these.

Cheers, John. Cheers, Julian.

Yes, the Tay is a long and varied river, some beautiful parts, some not so. I need to go back in Autumn for some glorious colours.

All these off a single roll?! What a yield! (I'm happy if I get one or two keepers of a roll!) I love Tree in River, as well as the Hermitage walk. Tree in River is the standout for me, though. Great stuff Rob!

Thanks, Brian. Yes, one role, and I was on it! More from the same role on my Flickr page.

Did he mention colours Well do not call for autumn yet Rob, please. A very good series though, quite proper

A very nice set, Rob and SFX has brought an interesting touch. I especially like the shot of the tree in the river.

Thanks, Pete. My favourite too.
