A last run before Christmas & decided to go back over the top. Lucky to have access to this from my back door. Has proven to be a huge help during lockdowns.
Beacon on the Malverns - Jubilee 2012
Summer 2012 saw the most recent beacon on the Malverns. It was incredibly atmospheric. Seeing hundreds of figures walking up in the semi darkness was awesome. Looking out towards the Welsh Black mountains other beacons could be seen springing up on hills & down in the valleys. Felt like we were transported back in time.

Forget digital, I'm processing E6 slide film today!
Nice to be processing my own films again. Makes me think about my Great-Grandfather, Joseph Unsworth. He was one of the first in England to use commercially available colour film, having bought it directly from Antoine Lumiere: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/6060778.incredible-doctor-joe/
The colours & contrast of new Ektachrome E100 film are very natural and look great. Much better than a film from another manufacturer that I tried (which was magenta heavy).
