Threw out my last film

[Franglais]

I have a fridge full of Neopan and Trix but for some reason since I bought my Sony a850 it hasn't crossed my mind much to use any.

That doesn't surprise me. I don't think that film and digital compete head-on any more. I would only use film if I wanted a specific look to my images.

Here are a few pictures from the long hot summer of 1975 (on the way to the swimming pool - seasonal touch). Black-and-white film is good for this sort of situation under a burning sun because the colours are all bleached out and film will not burn out highlights the way digital usually does.

This was shot on HP4 developed in Microphen 1+1 on a little Rollei 35. It seems stupid to have pushed this but the film typically stayed in the camera for a couple of weeks doing just about anything so 650 ISO was a good compromise.

BTW these pictures are of course taken in England..
