Ruin by

A dinky two-room building ruin, at the top of the jetty at Aird, Argyll.

I’m not sure if it was some kind of harbour-master’s house or customs & excise checking station – the room with steps into it has a fireplace and window to see what’s happening but that’s all.

It was blowing a howling gale, raining and generally being unpleasant and misty when I took this, precariously balancing up a small hillock in the carpark.

Taken using the Hasselblad 500CM and Ilford Pan-F 50+ film.

    More Pan-F magic!

  • Yep – I love the way it responds in a decent developer around zone VI-VII. Silvers just glow. Mist is reasonably smooth. Nice tonality all round, that.

    I wanted to try Pan-F before, now I MUST get my hands on a roll…
    What developer did youuse for this shot?

    Great capture by the way, love this shot…

  • Ta :)

    Paterson Aculux 3, 1+10 for 10mins about 22ºC with heavy agitation on the minute, medium agitation on 30s. I’ve used APH09 (Rodinal family) and Moersch Tanol before now; Aculux is a fair compromise between the two in terms of non-graininess, sharpness and tonality.

    Sweet…I am only starting out in monochrome, only used Ilford ID-11 so far.
    I picked up a roll of PanF this afternoon…just got to wait until I finish the roll of Fujichrome slide that is in the camera I want to shoot it with…only another 8 shots to go!

  • Ooh, which slide film?

    Only Sensia 100…but you can’t knock it back, I picked up a job lot of two dozen rolls for the equivalent of a pound a roll…but I’ve got three rolls of the original Velvia RVP as well as a roll each of Velvia 50, Provia 100 and Provia 100F…
    I really REALLY want to shoot a roll of Kodachrome before they stop processing it at the end of the year…
