I loaded another roll of my very out of date Ilford FP4 movie film that is now 26 years out of date! Set off with my Leica M4-P with only the 35mm lens, and did my usual walk around Poole in Dorset. I say usual although I haven’t done it for a few months!

To my surprise and pleasure the Spanish El Galeón Andalucía, was docked on the quayside. My understanding is that this is the only galleon of it’s type sailing today. A quick google search found that it has a very informative website shoud you wish to have a look! El Galeón Andalucía



I’m assuming that it is on bit of a tourist promotion tour advertising Andalucía, if that is so, judging by the amount of people showing interest, I think it could be a busy year for them!

I developed this roll in D23 for 9.5 mins at 20 degrees, with Kodak agitation. As such it’s the 21st roll in the same litre (replenished) and it just seems to get better and better! Once I’ve used up my 500ml of replenisher I’m going to try FX55 I think – if I do then of course you’ll hear about it here!
