Today has been a whirlwind of a day. Truly and most utterly inclement weather this morning saw a delayed start to UCS work with renewing AOP membership, ordering even more film (where does it all go?) and then calling Sam Mellish of ‘Roadside Britain’ fame to ask if he could help out with our degree show funding activities. What a wonderful chap he is. He is partly to blame for me being on this degree course because I saw his exhibition in early 2011 and that made me rethink my original career intentions from 1973. His work also influenced me when I shot my ‘Ten Minutes’ assignment last Spring when I photographed gutters in various streets within ten minutes walk from my front door.

The Lux Locus degree show organizers are extremely grateful for Sam’s help.

Anyway, I got a shipping order’s worth of film back today, 2 5×4’s and 60 6×6 negs, either Portra 160 or 400. Ah! That is where it goes. The image below was shot before the HP5+ image in the earlier post on this subject. No change in camera position or movements, just a different shutter speed and F stop to match the different ISO.

Somehow despite the colour being spot on I seem to recall Sunday morning being more like the HP5+ version. Do I see in Black & White?
