Bellini film developers - I have tried the Duo Step (Diafine), Eco (Xtol) and now Euro HC (HC110).
I still have some Duo Step left, used all the Eco then saw the HC110 substitute on NTPhotoworks when re-ordering.
I think the HC is very nice, (not sure about shelf life for it though), it has only a 5 mins processing time for HP5 at 400.

This is frame 10 from the 36 exp roll of film shot on a walk earlier this month.
This couple walked a short distance, then stopped and looked at a phone, or some handheld device,
before walking a little further and stopping again to look at the device. They did this several times.
I wonder what it was.

Monkey Beach, the garden building and the tree fallen onto the sand as shown in previous posts.
That is 6 of the first 7 frames from a 36 exp roll of film now posted, none of which would normally have been selected to post, but
I thought it might be interesting to show a frame a day from the roll of film. No, don't worry, I won't be posting all 36 frames.

A little further along the beach from the previous post.
Few people around, possibly because no one has any petrol to get here.
The tree which blew down onto the beach a year (or two?) ago is still growing.

I was processing the image for my previous post the other evening when these clouds caught my eye.
It has mostly been blue sky, blue sky with fluffy clouds or more often just heavy grey sky recently.
And the pigeon was nicely positioned as well.

Just a little light drizzle, then a few seconds after this image a proper downpour.
So I didn't stay around to watch any of the Regatta - too wet and too crowded.
