Pictures not of trees

Not sure about the passer-by

If you think my life has turned into a succession of days when I take an old camera out, rattle off a few snaps and then rush home and process them, you might not be far wrong. But then again, I am supposed to be on holiday. Or something. Yesterday it was the turn of the super-heavy Pentax 67 camera. This takes amazing pictures every now and then. I’d wanted one for ages and this year I’ve managed to get one of the earliest versions. I’m painfully aware of the possibility that the next time I wind on to the next frame there will be a twang or a whizzing sound and that will be that. But today all went well. We had a wander round the Fruit Market in Hull and we were blessed with nice light and some very impressive clouds. I’ve just got the shots off the scanner…..

Developed in Rodinol 1+50 for 9 minutes. Negatives look quite dense, but otherwise OK. The last shot ran off the end of the film, so I might want to position the next film 1cm or so before the arrow mark in the camera next time I use it.
