The view from my bedroom window in the morning.

Nice view caught at the right moment!

One of Australia's least palatable beers, so it's no surprise that people aren't queued up to buy :o

Spring has arrived. Not everyone would be able to move around to enjoy the flowers?

Apparently, the flowers are enjoying their freedom more than the human beings...

Thanks Chip and Akira.

This is from the "test roll" and the fine surprise is, that old FE is in perfect working order, especially the metering cell and the shutter.

Main challenge is the film itself : dust, damage (resulting in "bright pixels" or rather speckles). Not 100% satisfied with the lab, but I do not want to do the chemistry again.

Another shot from the 1st day, same FE + 50/1.8 AI; aperture was f/2.8 if memory serves. Man I love the texture of the HP5.

Does the lab also scan the negative? Output is on the "flat" side and you should consider an increase in contrast, perhaps.

Film grain is -- film grain, and here the genuine thing too.
