Manchester in the rain

[iangreenhalgh1]

It was horrible weather, dark, raining. Konica C35 loaded with Kodak Vision2 250D, developed in Fomadon LQR, 1:14, 10mins at 21C.

Nice thing about b&w - rain often helps, with the gleam of sidewalks and such. Nicely grim urbanity

Nice results. That 250D seems to respond well to black and white processing. Is that one of the vision films with a rem-jet backing?

[iangreenhalgh1]

Cheers guys, this was something of an experiment so pleased it worked.

Yup, this is the movie film with remjet, but the stuff just comes off during developing, when you pour out the developer it looks pretty black. When it comes to washing, I just run it under the tap while squeegeeing with my fingers to remove the last little bit then soak the film in warm water with a drop of detergent for a couple mins then hang to dry.

Lucky you are not living in this city boring weather and dark scenes prove it even more. I like results!

Manchester is quite a nice place but well known for it's bad weather. I hoped to take the opportunity to do some street photography, but the weather intervened, this was just a quick stab at it using my C35 which I think did a nice job of street shooting, shame the lens isn't a little wider but as a point n shoot, the C35 works well, fits alright in a jacket pocket too and I had no worries about isng it in the rain unlike a digicam.

Very very good...captured the atmosphere perfectly....we lived in Abbey Hey, which is near Gorton, in the sixties.....where were these taken?
Cheers, Pickles.

These are right in the centre, close to the Arndale bus station, we parked up, ran for a curry at the legendary This n That's then scurried back to the car so it's just a few shots along the way.

erm not a good advert to spend time in Manchester for a holiday

Manchester in June, 10C, dark and raining, great, eh

[skida]

Manchester living up to its wet reputation. The back streets are similar to some of those in Newcastle. Coincidently, one of the best curry houses in Newcastle was down a "dodgy" looking back alley like that. The B&W suits the subject matter.

If it wasn't for the modern cars, you could mistake No 4 for a WW2 bombsite. Reminds me of the grim, smoke-stained days and Giles cartoons of the 1950s.

What's happened to No. 4 and a few of the others Ian? They look as though you've given them the HDR treatment, or is it the film?
