The thing I like about this shot of my daughter is that despite being taken with my D800 it still has a film like quality to it .

The above is the result I got using Adox Adonal I think I have found another developer that fits with my lazy style in the darkroom.
This is a hurried test shot of my daughter . I used Rollei 80s 120 film in my Hasselblad. I developed my film as follows at 20°C:-
Adox Adonol 1:100 (That’s 495mls water to 5 ml Adonal)
Inversions for the first minute. Then left to stand 29 mins then 3 more inversions and left to stand for a further 30mins. Stopped with water for one minute inversions constantly and then Fixed 5mins (T-Max fixer)and washed for 10mins.

I helps to remember your SD cards when going for a walk. This time I did just that.
This is a hip shot . I left the crazy angle in.I think it lends a little to the dynamic of the shot. I tried to straighten the image it just looked too ordinary.

How To Make a Haggis

Thats right it says “Make a Haggis” because as any self respecting Scot will tell you nothing tastes better than those that are caught in the highlands when in season. At all other times you have to make do with factory farmed imitations. Still you can get very near the taste of the real thing if you find the right s and someone who knows how to put them together.

So here goes.

1. Find yourself a tame master chef that has an over the average interest in Scottish culture:

2. Hopefully Nr 1. Has a kitchen big enough

3. Invite friends and make sure there is plenty of Whisky at hand.

4. Get Chef (Nr 1) to explain what to do while not trying to look too sceptical.

5. Try not to laugh when The chef is talking.

6. Try not to look too horrified . More whisky can be used to calm first time nerves.

7. Quality control is of utmost importance
