One of a few which Ive cropped to get the best composition. Ive now got a 40mm wide angle lens (been waiting a while) and hope to go back to shoot this scene again as I dont feel its done it justice.

Some of these images from my first test of XP2 are not quite sharp, which given some of the compositions, doesnt bother me. I used a waist level finder with my Bronica and find it a little tricky at times to see what's sharp and what's not while looking down at the image. I metered using a very old Weston light meter which is older than me, (currently 36), given to me by my Dad (thank you) with the other Bronica kit.
Overall, I like the tones with XP2 and it's easy to scan on my Epson v750. Ive ordered another batch for further tests. Watch this space.

Ben, featured above, relucatantly stayed still long enough for me to take his photo. This is one that worked unlike many shots which mostly consisted of the side of his head or him walking out of the shot just as I got the focus and exposure correct. Thanks Ben for being a great model.
F-Stop (2.8) allowed for just his eyes to be sharp and his nose and background to blur which puts the emphasis on his 'long suffering' eyes.

llford HP5 - 400 asa
This is one of my fav's from this batch of 10 rolls I just got back from the labs. It looks like Rafe is wearing a muffler but its actually his teddy covering his cheek.
I increased the contrast and shadows to make the black's black which covered any remaining background. I like the strong contrast and am glad it picked up the pupil light reflections.

Trying out Ilford HP5 for the first time. The grain is ok considering it's 400 ASA. Although Im interested in trying some Pan 50 but wil need to wait for the right lighting conditions or get my hefty tripod out. I still like XP2, it seems easy to scan and has little to no grain. That said, Im pleased with the results of this batch of 10 rolls of which Ive posted a few of the photos to show you.
