Camera Talk

I took a walk round the south cost a few weeks ago during the last of the year's long-weekends. I took an extra day to make it an extra long long-weekend which worked out well as that was the best day weather wise.

I grabbed a a couple of cameras, one of which was the Fujica G690. I used the 100mm liens this time and loaded the camera first with Delta 100. I thought I'd try and mentally frame some XPan format (65:24) shots too - I like the format, but I'm not so keen as to drop a substantial amount of money on an XPan itself. The Fujica when cropped to the same ratio would yield a bigger negative anyway. The plan was, all going well, to shoot a similar roll a following weekend, but using the 65mm lens.

I've not really tried much Delta 100, but given the results I got from this roll, I think I'm going to have to try more. It looks really great developed in PC-TEA - great tones, sharp and little grain. The skies had lovely whispy clouds to add a bit of interest.

Here's some from the roll of Delta, a couple of "pairs" in their native then XP formats. The trees are native "Cabbage Trees", though they're not really trees, they are lilies. They certainly look like trees...
