I took these today when out on my travels. I guessed that the weather may stop play so as well as 2 SLRs and a few lenses, I packed this compact. I needed to finish the roll and get more practice with the Rodinal.
I've also been meaning to get some shots of this place as it is a huge building that has been empty for years.
HP5, Rodinal 1:50

It's not in a good state now but makes for interesting pics. It's the kind of place where you have to keep looking over your shoulder.
I think that car was parked by you!

Lol, I wondered where that was going. No, that wasn't one I flipped. I found it like that honestly.

These look very good, both comp-wise and dev-wise. This is a hell of a
lot less grain than my last batch, Martin! Need to try stand developing
with Rodinal because I have some Efke I want to shoot, and it is the
best-in-show for that. |

#1 is really a great shot to me, but it lacks some sharpness - I'm not sure if it's because of the lens wide open or if it's because of the film grain.
Also #6 is very good but again I feel the lack of some sharpness.

Thanks for the comments.
Orio - Unfortunately, being a point & shoot I have no control over aperture or focus. But for 0.99gbp I'm happy with this pocket camera.
