Good results Ian. When I saw the title of this post I knew it would be you!

I wish I had the time to do this type of messing about with old films. I did many years ago, but not seriously, more to see what could be done or how I could utilise the resultant images. Back then I was thinking of new ways to make money thru photography. Negs printed onto X-ray film was good. I could make a whole plate transparency, put it in a backless frame and hang it in the window. I sold a few dozen of these.

Cheers Phil.

I've put the BW film work to one side while we have this glorious weather, when it's like this it's ideal time for colour work. Come winter and gray skies I'll come back to the BW.
