Nice to be out with "Little Richard" again.

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@ILFORDPhoto None yet. I do have some in my stash though. I'll have to dig them out

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

Long time no see

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@HarmanPhoto Haven't got any yet 😉 Red lids on tubs is cool. I remember a time when FP4 had a blue lid, HP5 a green one and the original XP a red one.

@AnalogueWLand . . . Then, and only then do think about the images you are going to make. That opens up a whole gamut of other thoughts and feelings.

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@AnalogueWLand It's immersive. The sound of opening that 35mm pot. The smell of the emulsion. The feeling of the film in your hands. The concentration as you thread the take up spool. The click of the camera back closing. The feeling of winding on to that first frame. . . .

I think I had better get busy soon 🙂

@currys hey @currys, bitterly disappointed that quiet hour is suspended for black Friday. Neuro divergent individuals need even more support at this time of year.

@PhlStrchn Good spot Phil, yes they were. I used my Olympus PEN-EES and rated the Phoenix at ISO 160. I probably have other shots from Smeaton's bridge, but I have a pile of black and white 35mm still to be processed. 🫢 The other 2 were digital.

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@PhlStrchn Excellent news. Nice shot too, mine tend to be further over towards the town side. Although most of my shots seem to be from the Moncrieffe end!

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@PhlStrchn Is the winding ok then Phil?

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@ILFORDPhoto I tend to shoot whatever catches my eye. It might be macro, landscape, abstract, vehicle, architecture, etc. Pretty much anything that doesn't involve people. I'm not really a people person.

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@ILFORDPhoto Looking forward to it. However, sadly, this likely means I'll have stock up 😊

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@PhlStrchn One of my colleagues recently sold his car. He photographed it at Stanley Mills.

[Ian Ronketti @ironketti]

@ILFORDPhoto 3 spring to mind. Olympus OM4Ti, Leica M6 TTL 0.85x and Leica M3 1.0x

In response to a post elsewhere by @AnalogueWLand, here is Stephen the blacksmith at work in Gunnerside, Yorkshire. They were taken on my Olympus 35RC and @KodakProFilmBiz Gold 200.
