Saying hello
Posted: 03 May 2020, 04:13
The lockdown has given me the opportunity to unpack my Wista dx. I’ve had it over 10 years now and have put less than 10 sheets of film through it. I finally got to develop the very first shots last week. The undeveloped negs have been in the fridge since 2009. Two rather thin negs of half dome in Yosemite and another better looking pair of a river in the same park. No scanner or darkroom so no prints yet. Film both scares and intrigues me. Scared because I’m not methodical enough yet. Intrigued because the tones are so much better than digital. But I have two new boxes of FP4 to start practising again and a five year target to get good enough to embark on a series of portraits of locals. I’m looking forward to engaging more with the forum.
