Quite dull weather for a Sunday morning walk. All calm and quiet on the water.
Foma 200 film processed in Ilfotec LC29. 35mm lens.
I'm not keen on this film, but it was bought to test some cameras for faults, so I have to use it up now.

As suggested in Post 993 the houseboat Gypsy Rose was towed away at the end of September

A Rollei SL35 camera which recently came my way being tried out. Sadly, it has quite a few problems to get sorted.
I'm sure it is beyond economic repair, but it is a camera that just feels good, so I might get a repair estimate.

The houseboat in the centre is called Gypsy Rose but it will probably be removed if this weekends high tides allow.
Another boat will replace it, possibly a Thames Barge according to some.

A busy final week at the Summer Show at the RA.
The lady's phone pinged. She stopped and turned to read her phone screen.
I waited but she didn't move. I got my camera out and took the snap. She didn't notice.
I moved away before she did. I hope it wasn't bad news. Probably we've all done this, but thank you for the picture.

Umma Gumma. Rescued.
Not the boat or someone using this boat (which I don't think has moved from here in at least seven years),
but the image*.
Ilford Delta 400 seriously under-processed in 510 Pyro Semi Stand development.
I have traced the problem to my thermometer (30 years old probably, the type with a metal probe and circular dial on top)
suddenly reading 3 degrees too low. Not ideal with a 22 minute stand development.
(*not that the image is worth saving, but I wanted to see what could be retreived).

This negative has been digitised with a camera and macro lens instead of a film scanner,
so now I can print the full frame if I want to. I just need to practise holding the camera straight more often.
