This was a pleasant surprise found on a roll that has been waiting to be developed for quite some time (nearly a year) due to not having taken anything else on Ilford Delta 100 to justify developing it. I’ve switched developers that I use to a system that allows you to put whatever B&W film in together, which should save films that deteriorate after exposure from lying around – particularly the likes of Ilford Pan F.
This was taken on a particularly misty day up at Arbor Low Henge and the burial barrow of Gibb Hill in the Derbyshire Peak District. On a clear day you can see for mile upon mile of the Derbyshire landscape, and you can appreciate why people in days gone by placed such a significant henge at this location. On this day however, it was a chance to get some misty tree action instead. I thinks this works – what do you think?
What is the developer system that you have started to use?
Hi, I’ve started using Prescysol EF, I develop using their recommended stand process, which takes 10.5 mins regardless of the film type. With a bit of care and some anti-oxidant spray the chemicals last longer than the manufacturer suggests, which is good as the chemicals are a bit expensive up front.
