Given the brilliantly lit white facade of this building, I’m happy that the slide film caught the detail without blowing it out. I guess the dynamic range across the whole scene is not too large, but I still wondered whether this would be a success or not.
It would have been nice to have a tilt-shift lens to capture the scene. While I don’t hate converging verticals in photographs, sometimes, when they’re only slight as is the case here, they bother me more for some reason.
Something good that happened today…
I managed to find some time this lunchtime to develop a couple of rolls of Tri-X that I’ve shot recently, so I have another 24 images waiting to scan. I’m always glad when I’ve gotten film development done because I find it a chore. It’s easy enough to do, and I’m relatively successful at it, but I don’t get the enjoyment from it that some other photographers do. On the other hand, I do quite like scanning, which some other photographers hate!

Hi Nigel! Funny isn’t it how we all get different things out of the same hobby! I enjoy developing, I guess I like playing amateur chemist. It still thrills me when I pull the spiral out of the tank the there are images there. I like the process or should I say the method too – almost like half an hour of meditation. Scanning on the other hand, now there’s a chore! lol – Cheers Andy

Hi Andy. I think if I had more free time, and a more dedicated space (rather than the utility room), I might enjoy it more – I certainly find it interesting the different results that can be had given different developer, times, and techniques. I’d *certainly* enjoy it more if I could avoid the whole washing up and putting away part of the exercise!
