It will be no surprise to regular readers that I shot a roll of XP2 while visiting Chester and it’s cathedral. At the time of my visit it was the smallest cathedral I’d visited, and the first to be made of a darker colour stone. In this case Keuper Sandstone, both of these factors made for a very different feel.
Below is an image of the consistory court, a unique survivor having started it’s life in 1632, surprisingly heard it’s last case in only 1930!
Interestingly the building of the nave started in 1323, but ground to a halt during the plague and wasn’t completed until 150 years later.
As usual I enjoyed wandering about with my camera. In this case it was the Nikon F3. I used the 24mm for the photo of the court, but I think the 35mm for everything else. I had trouble scanning this film. It took me ages to get the setting correct to get some decent blacks. For some reason either myself or the scanner wasn’t on par – most lightly me! I got there in the end!! Below is perhaps my favourite image of the visit.
S.H.O.U.T. 
Fantastic work with this film. Your blacks are superb. The 24 mm focal lens is a great choice.

Hello Fred! Thank you, very kind comments. I do like a decent black in black and white! After all it’s not called grey and grey is it? I do like XP2 very much but did have a struggle to scan this roll for some reason, got there in the end! All best wishes Andy
