Back from Moonphoto comes this weeks scans: Ilford Delta 400 shot with the Rollei 35 S.
The first three shots are architectural. Two from Ballard, including the first one of the award winning Ballard Library, and the third a building on the campus of Northwest Hospital.
Other writers have gushed about this film. I won’t go that far. My favorite black and white film is probably the Fomopan 100. But I may have been misusing this film. With the high, bright overcast sky, my pictures seem washed out a bit. I’d like to see more inky blacks; more charcoal.
But the following are acceptable to me. Especially the second and third.
I like more contrast too but I like these, especially the trees.

Thanks. Agreed. The contrast with the fomopan is much better.

What do you do with the prints like these that you’re making? Do you have an established archive, so that they’re accessible for specific uses, in the future? Maybe in another hundred years some of these will be on HistoryLink, maybe not even that long the way the city is changing. I haven’t shot film in a long time but I’m interested (a very slow osmosis) in your observations.
