These were shot on Ilford FP4. Note the enhancement of the grain (click on the images), caused by long storage and delayed processing. The processor and I were both amazed at the density of the images and the contrast in most. At least there wasn't any fungus growing in the rolls. This film has been in and out of seven or eight fridges since about 1980.
Now for the real deal…

Andrew and his friend, a young sperm whale named Scar, were swimming together off the west coast of Dominica. The two of them became "friends" after Andrew saved Scar's life. (Photo and caption by Peter Allinson)
Be amazed...
Nice photos, Ian, but I shudder to think what else you've kept in your fridge(s) for almost 30 years.
ReplyDeleteCheese sandwich, anyone?
Cheers,

Oooh! Take it up again! :D
ReplyDelete(And please post some of your work.)
:)
Thanks Sophie and Bob!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first took a course, I was working so I did Night Photography; I’ll find some of those.
No sandwiches, though there were some rather suspect jars of chutney that travelled with the film for quite a few years. They didn’t kill anyone as far as I know…
I like the composition and quality of these. Have you got any more?
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry! These turned out better than I expected - yeah, I'll have to get back into it (starting from scratch again), and I'll dig out some of my old stuff.
