Now this roll was a surprise, I actually got some results from Delta 400 that I liked!

Extreme Film Test No. 12 - Ilford Delta 400
Can the same magic hit again with Delta 400 like it did with TMax 400? Well the answer is yes, and might even be a little better!

A colour film photograph of The Moon Under water pub in Wigan town centre with its ornate stonework. It was once a hotel then spent many years as various retail stores before being bought by Wetherspoon's, a Pub Company here in the UK that has a large portfolio of pubs on it's books.

Managed to dunk some film the other day, 1 roll nice but with light leaks, the other had light leaks AND double exposures throughout AND was under-fixed when I got it out.

Need to buy more fixer, current stuff is looking a bit knackered.

Has anyone got a spare black thumb screw/nut for the front standard/rise & fall of a 1947 or similar Anniversary Graflex Speed Graphic? I lost one a while ago and it grates me every time I see it missing 😭 #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Did Agfa really name a camera after the shutter sound? Probably not. But that doesn't mean we should overlook the amazing Agfa Click II!

A colour film photograph of the La Santidos Loca Tex Mex bar in Wigan. This was once Crofter's Pub and the red tiling is from that time in the life of this old building in Wigan town center. I believe it is proteced too so can't be removed. The old name above the door is all tiles and still exists under the current signs.

Color photo of a coastal landscape with hazy mountains, a golden sea, and a small house partly hidden by tall grasses in the foreground beneath a cloudy sky. The unnatural, heavily tinted color scheme gives the scene a surreal, vintage-film appearance, with warm pinkish-orange tones contrasting against cool blue-green vegetation.
