Home developed using Ilford Perceptol.
Rollei RPX 400 is a relatively cheap black and white film at £8 a roll and is well known for its rich tones and shadow detail which makes it good for pretty much any lighting. Perfect for this time of the year when it’s grey and overcast one minute and bright sunny winter sun all within the pace of one hour.
Shot at my fave Pig Bush, a local spot that I love any time of the year.
I’ve learnt so far this year, during shooting a roll of film a day, that it’s ok to just randomly shoot a roll of film with no expectations. It’s involved me having to rethink how I take photos and it’s led to some unexpected nice surprises along the way.
Early into January I accepted that it’s ok to go out with a film camera and not have any preconceived ideas about what to photograph and that yes, there are going to be some pretty average photos.
We’ve got some plans for February, a few days out and a couple of nights away and I’m really excited for a change of scene and in turn subject matter. As much as I love home I’m beginning to feel like I’ve developed so many photos of Lepe beach already I’m only a month in 😅
