A few weeks ago a photographer
friend gave me a heap of unwanted film.
Amongst the bunch were a few rolls of Agfa XRS 1000 colour negative film.
The dating on the packaging is 08/89.
What's twenty years between friends.
So one wet, windy and cold Sunday I headed to the south coast for a bit of fun.
I forgot the lightmeter so used the sunny f16 rule.
Yes you can use it on unsunny days.
But either I didn't use it properly.
Or the film was past its best.
Still getting wet, cold and sandblasted is always fun.

Sunny f16, or gloomy f5.6? They have a certain something about them that is interesting.
actually i think i might have used gloomy f8 ... but what would an extra stop have done?
