Home developed using Ilford Simplicity Kit.
Developed at home using Ilford DDX, I followed the timings to the second but something obviously wasn't right somewhere. Even so that, for me at least, is the beauty of film - even colossal cock ups can end up looking pretty arty.
And these really are 'arty', bordering on having the old skull Photoshop pencil drawing filter applied.
Grabbed the lightweight Yashica A, loaded it with a roll of good ol' reliable FP4 Plus 125 that I've had lying about for the past couple of years and headed out on a local walk.
Points to note: I don't like this camera much, mine is very temperamental. Sometimes the shutter sticks, sometimes it doesn't. I found it pretty frustrating to use other than the ever wonderful experience of looking down through the waistlevel finder (which always gets me right in the feels).
Mental note to self: Don't bother using this camera again even if it does look too cute for words.
