Out & About: 24th April
Today saw an open day from the Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society. There were free bus rides around the city, including a park & ride. Two rolls of FP4+ (12 exp.) made up most of the day’s photos, which has now been developed at home, and added to the ever growing list of negatives to scan when I return to school on Tuesday - 116 35mm negatives, and 34 6×6 negatives. That's a total of ~2068cm².
Easter in the Darkroom
Day 1
Left home mid morning, and arrived around noon. My uncle was nowhere to be seen, so I went around the back, to find he was in the darkroom. He showed me his enlarger, a De Vere 504 with a multigrade head. We made some film developer stock of Ilford ID-11. My uncle introduced me to medium format, giving me a seagull. After we got to grips with it, we headed off into Burton-upon-Trent, using up an 120 roll of Ilford Pan F 50. After returning, we developed the films (including Film #4). However, we didn’t know where to start to expose the film, so the first 4 images were overlapped.
Day 2
Spent most of the day in the darkroom. My uncle showed me various techniques, including split-grade printing and dodge/burning. Managed to lock myself from the darkroom, so we had to drive to the pub to attain the spare key.
Day 3
Woke up early and prepared for our day trip in Llandudno. On the journey we saw some beautiful oil refineries amongst a web of pylons. Unfortunately there was nowhere to stop and take photos. After parking at Llandudno, we walked along the promenade, before exploring the pier and below. We returned to the car and drove to a traditional Welsh cemetery. We returned to the darkroom and made some developer for the next day.

Day 4
We developed the film I finished yesterday, did some more printing, packed my bags and learned how to use the print dryer. I then went home.
More photos will be posted when they’re scanned in next week. Flickr Set.
Lincoln Quarry
Went to the quarry in the Greetwell area of Lincoln today, taking both standard digital, infrared and film - this time Ilford PAN 400, though I still need to develop film #4.
