It’s this time of year that I post my retrospective of the last twelve months, showing my favourite picture from each. I have the post written and almost ready to publish, but with one small obstacle – December.
While I’ve taken some pictures in December, I’ve only just developed them and not published any online yet. To compound matters, I also shot a few rolls with the Fujica GW690 today and I suspect my favourite December picture may be amongst those. So, what I think I need to do is upload my favourite December picture so far tomorrow, and then use that. And then maybe sneakily update the post at a later date. 🙂
So, hopefully, my end-of-year post should arrive tomorrow.
I picked up a few rolls of expired Velvia 50 slide film recently for a decent price. Some of it is only a few years past date and had been fridge stored, so hopefully that will be good. The other rolls are about 15 years expired but, on past experience, should also hopefully be ok. Included with the Velvia were three bonus rolls of 120 format Ektachrome 64 – these are considerably older, with an expiry date of 1987. I’m not expecting them to give anything close to accurate colour reproduction, but they might still produce something worthwhile. Having three rolls of it means I at least get a few chances to nail the settings.
The pictures shared here today are the remainder of the Kodak Ultramax pictures from my Leeds trip back in October. I thought I’d get them out of the way as I’m still running a backlog of several rolls of film yet unpublished!

Yeah. They’re like the “spine” of a tall building. I saw the Google building in London when it was being constructed, and that had Android logos showing what each floors would be: https://flic.kr/p/2gE8keX

That’s sort of interesting — no one’s going to see those in the finished product. Like a lot of things Google does, I can’t fathom the why.
But it’s a good photo op; so if nothing else…
