Typical. I've got the best idea in my head for a photo for the assignment, I plan exactly what to bring (in my head, while I'm at work), I get home, pack the camera bag, walk the 500m out the back door down the hill, and when I get there the light's gone.
Oh well, better luck next time, probably the weekend.
But anyway, the reason I was late home was because I was picking up a film that got developed. Coincidentally last week I chucked in a roll of B+W, screwed on the Yellow filter and went down past the Port where there's lots of nice old buildings and things (even more coincidentally, I was inspired to do that by people talking of going to shoot an old prison, I like the look of weathered old architecture a lot too).
So for now my entry is this one, these two look like they've certainly passed their test of time (although I'm not sure if they're very much in working order anymore):
I've just spent the last hour or two on it, trying to USM the sharpness back in that the scanner took out, and simultaneously blur out the grain, but I can't get rid of those circles and the '8' printed all over the film (cheap chinese film, for $2 a roll I thought it was worth a try). Maybe i'll have to go back past the Port on the way home again one day and shoot this again with the digital).
And there's no point shooting Medium Format without pixel-peeping, so here's an 800x800 crop of the original 7000x7000 (49MP) scan.
