#IlfordFP4 - Mbin

carusb , 6 months ago to random

Happy New Year all you tooters and #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography folk! I've decided to start a new photo thread for the New Year, even though I'm part way through a roll, and nowhere near up to date (early November, in fact). The simple premise is, at least one photo for every roll of film (not necessarily every day). The old thread ended at https://photog.social/@carusb/111673872637618164

Black and white portrait format photo, entirely of water. The top left half is silky smooth and shows the reflection of a tree. An informal weir of stones divides the image from top right to bottom left; in the bottom right half the water is bubbling over the stream bed.

News and tobacco kiosk in Sofia, Bulgaria, early 1970. Taken with my #Werra 1 with #IlfordFP4 (not Plus) film; no meter (I used the metering hints inside film boxes in those days, essentially Sunny 16).

I worked in Sofia for 4 months at that time, so plenty of time to get to know the communist world a little. The adventures there are described in a series of blog posts starting at https://unsustainableideas.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/my-life-in-computers-5a-icl-system-4-and-bulgaria/ .

Black and white photo, taken in bright sunshine in winter on what is obviously a cold day, showing a "PressPoint" (name in Cyrillic text) selling postcards, newspapers, cigarettes etc. There are several people, all in heavy coats; one woman wears a head scarf. Two telephone boxes on the right of the picture are in use and a woman is waiting her turn.

Portrait format black and white photo shows a shuttered window in a brick wall almost obscured by a large flower basket hanging from just above. There is a small gable end immediately above, with some interesting decorative detail, looks like tiles with small circles. Above that, a tiled roof. The hanging basket is casting a strong shadow down and to the left, in the afternoon sun.

The News Steps. These locks weren't here last time I was!

Black and white portrait format photo looking up a set of steep stone steps, walls either side, with a metal railing in the middle. They curve slightly to the right about half way up the flight that can be seen, before disappearing (a sharp turn to the right, in fact).
