These pictures here are just some general photos taken around Leeds when I took out the medium format camera. There were some better photos taken but half the film did not process correctly due to a falty wind on mechanism. I did shoot a film before this one but it did not process as i put the film in the camera the wrong way round. Despite the fact I think there were better shots on this film than ones i have displayed I am actually quite happy with how these prints came out, but most of all it was just nice to be back in the dark room. All of these photos were taken on an Ilford 400 ISO B&W film, light readings were taken with an additional light meter and were all shot 'sans' tripod.
I also experimented with the shot at the top on the right. I enlarged it from a standard 10by8 print to one spread over 4 10by8's thus creating a large 4 piece jigsaw. Having never printed any larger than 10by8 before i realised when increasing the size of a print certain factors change in the printing process. I had to extend the exposure time from 15 seconds to 25 seconds and also increase the grade from 3.5 to just over 4.5 to create the tones i had in the 10by8 print.
