Grey King of Mists
With less time to photograph and far too many rolls hanging about to process, I have been trawling through some my 2020-present scans as I slowly compress files to reclaim some megabytes of storage.
In the process, I have been discovering some surprises - images I had set aside as not good enough for one reason or another, and, in the midst of them, this one - what is, for me, a rare wildlife shot on film. While I have been eager to take wildlife photographs on film, it is an undeniably expensive means of obtaining endless blurry photographs. Here, though, it all seems to have come together. Yes, the heron is grainy, but what does that matter in the mist.
Heron beside the Glyme, Blenheim Park, Oxon, late 2020. Pentax SP II with, at a guess, a Super Takumar 300/4.5. Adox CHS II 100 pushed to 200 in ID-11. Very little work on the scan aside from dust removal and some contrast.
