Hi Guys.
If someone at the chapel reads this,I have left my espresso coffee maker in the kitchen, would you please ask Asha to take it on to the IOM and send it to me.
Many thanks,
Richard.
I have sent a PM to Nick as well.
Hi Richard,
Andy alias donut has kindly taken it tto drop off at your home in person as hé lives near you. Can you PM him with your address please.

God only knows how long it would take me to get to Wales, two regional rail services!
If everyone wants to go to somewhere like Scotland, we could get cheap flights to Inverness and then hire a minibus to get around in. 1/12th of a minibus plus flights each is going to work out reasonable I think. Flights from Bristol to Inverness for example are £75 with hold luggage, plus say £45 for the minibus. That's pretty good value, especially when you compare it to train prices!
You can't please all of the people all of the time but you can feel people some time....
I'm still surprised any actual photography took place

FOUR!
I feel faint.

Turns out I shot fewer frames than I thought. Filmdev rang to tell me I'd sent them an unused roll of Portra; they were suspicious of it but had to process it anyway. :banghead: (Couldn't have contacted me earlier, I was told when I got home yesterday we were driving to Scotland today!)
Dunno about Portra but the Fuji 120 I used has on the sealing sticker "exposed" written
Dark Edinburgh has some interesting pics:It was 135... I heard people asking about "sharpies", perhaps to write on the canisters. I clearly need to get more rigorous with the management of my exposed film! It would also help to actually check the film visually before dropping it in the post bag!
Anyway, I've had a very quick look through the 147 exposed images back from Filmdev (not all from this trip). It appears I can hand hold a Pentax Z-1 for shots longer than 1/10 second... sometimes! Not enough to make the approach desirable though. At least on day 2 I took my monopod with me, that seems to have mostly helped. I sent them a roll of Acros since we were going away, and that seems to have come out very nicely, like the scans. Should manage to put something up tomorrow, although I also want to get out and shoot the rest of those films, while Mrs R is in Glasgow and I'm here in Edinburgh!
Part roll of Acros in one of the MXs... perhaps I should try some long exposures after dark? Darn it, in the rush to pack this morning, the light meter didn't make the pick...
If your camera has semi auto my street scenes with lights came out nice using a T70 and a church with some floodlights came out good using a OM1 erm well the exposure was OK but was ruined by camera shake @ 7 secs (no tripod)

With 35mm surely it's just as simple as the ones with leaders sticking out are not exposed, and the ones with no leaders are exposed?
Yes indeed, so actually opening the plastic boxes would have told me straight away! :banghead:
Actually it's not quite that simple, as I leave the leaders sticking out on black and white to make loading in my Rondinax easier... but I wind the film so as the leader is only half an inch or so, to give myself a clue.

Thanks Ken. I was sure @steveo_mcg had a thread with Edinburgh night shots as well, but I can't find it!
Sadly the Acros is in a Pentax MX, fully manual... and my Android phone won't meter, either..
@Asha Chloe says thank you very much for her new camera :0)

She's shot most of the way through a roll of HP5 this morning, mainly on interesting bark on trees!

tbh you're better with out a meter at night. I've got my crib sheet for acros if you want me to send it on.

I had it moved to the projects section to save constantly bumping it in the film bit.

Yes please, Steven. PM sent.
That's a lovely thread. I got my OCOLOF thread moved to Projects as well, not really happy with the feedback there, don't think I would do it again unless it was better suited.

Just realised that the other thing that didn't make the cut packing for this trip was the tripod! Don't think the monopod would cut it for 8-second exposures... guess I can try some of Kenilworth Castle after dark when we get home.
