Final informal lens comparison, possibly even less conclusive than the others. Though I hadn't realised quite how easily the Helios swirls!

Time for an informal lens comparison... yes I know I should have set everything up on a tripod, but this was much more spontaneous than that!

A Sailor's Broken Dream

https://justin-farrimond.pixels.com/featured/a-sailors-broken-dream-justin-farrimond.html

When the sea is your home no more and a life on land is the final port of call, then, despair. All aspirations and desire lie wrecked at the harbour wall.
A triple exposure of the mariner's lament.

Triple exposure black and white film photograph showing a coastal town overlaid with a harbour wall, the sea, and yachts.

Coast path

#PentaxLX, #Pentax SMC A 24/2.8, yellow filter, Cinestill BWXX, home dev in #Adox FX39 II.

part of a wooden telegraph pole is seen, standing in front of the end wall of a building. On the pole are two wooden arrows showing acorns, the sign for the coastal path. The left hand, lower one points right, while the right hand, upper one points left. Below them is a label that reads "CAUTION OVERHEAD FIBRE"

Stoned!

#PentaxLX, #Pentax SMC A 24/2.8, yellow filter, Cinestill BWXX, home dev in #Adox FX39 II.

A Pizza truck is parked beside the road, words written on the back including "Stoned, Honk if you're Hungry". A tanker lorry passes to the left of it. A couple walk towards us, burdened by bags of beach gear. A sign a bit further down points to the right with the message "Beach Toilets". Back and white photo.

Returning surfers

#PentaxLX, #Pentax SMC A 24/2.8, yellow filter, Cinestill BWXX, home dev in #Adox FX39 II.

A narrow track between buildings leads down to some rocks, with rough seas of the bay beyond. Two surfers have swum through a gap in the rocks and are making their way towards the track, where a barely-seen figure awaits them. Black and white photo in portrait format.

Is there something special about Foma's Retro Special Developer? Yes, but you are limited. It's not bad, it's too highly specialised for my tastes.

Christ Church Maryport

The former Christ Church building in Maryport, Cumbria. I took this shot in early 2023, since then work has started to convert the building into a new home for the Maryport Maritime Museum.

#PhotoOfTheDay #ShootFilmBeNice #BlackAndWhitePhotography #BelieveInFilm #VintagePhotography #Church #BlackAndWhite #SeasideSunday

Black and white portrait photograph showing a traditional English Victorian church. The building stands alongside a harbour wall which is in shadow toward the bottom of the picture. The tide is out. It's nice to be beside the seaside, beside the sea.

Bull Point

With open land to the right and sea to the left divided by rocky cliffs, this bay is close to Woolacombe in Devon. Wispy white clouds. Black and white photo.

While today there are no surviving mills in Oakville, there are still some remains of what was once the major industry in the town that also adapted as the crops changed.

Annoyed sheep!

While groups of people walk up or down this coastal path, sheep nearby seem annoyed by the intrusion!
