Friday the 13rd.
[posted at 20:23 GMT]    

It is last few hours of today, the Friday of 13rd. I think I have survived :-) Yep when I was small boy and following school, this was always my disaster day. It was probably because I knew that the Friday of 13rd is not from somebody else and I create all those disasters myself, but who knows.
Today was ok, quite a busy day at work but at least interesting. And after I have come back home and we had a dinner and but kids into bad I have started to put my last scans in order. I didn't made any notes and any categorization for last about fifteen films. Now I am finish and scanning as well is going to the end. Last twelve shots. Those two films at the end of scanning are two years old expired Ilford FP4+. Roy gave it to me and they turn very well. It seems like I am becoming frequent user of expired films and gaining some extra knowledge for them. Well it is not true, they are just not bad at all.
But let's come back to these two films. I have exposed them in two hours we were with kids in park near by. I have done one in contrast light and specifically in back light situations. I have used spot metering and they turn incredible nice. The other roll I have exposed just after it but Sun was gone. Those have nice texture and full details in shadows. This combination of Ilford FP4+ and Paterson Aculux 2 seems to be very good. I hope I will have a time to but some shots over the weekend on line.
