At Dusk

Film: Ilford HP5 Plus @EI400

Process: Bellini Hydrofen (Rodinal Special / Studional) 1+39, 5min 15 sec @20*C

Camera: Lomo LC-A (original Soviet version, 1986)

Scanner: Optronics ColorGetter Falcon drum scanner, wet-mounted scan

 

Got round to scanning another image from my trip to Paris last year, where the only analogue camera I took was my LC-A.

 

The film was exposed at box speed, and I used Bellini Hydrofen, a new version of Rodinal Special/Studional which is available in the UK from Nik and Trick Photographic Services of Folkestone. Inverted with my usual ColorPerfect workflow.

 

This particular shot was taken from a moving bus driving down the Boulevard de Clichy as night was falling. Given the lighting, I am surprised that that the image has turned out as well as it did – sharpness is very good, and the red of the windmill has been turned into gorgeous tones of grey. Exposure looks like it was spot on. Hopefully, I can get the same again!
