As some of you may know, I have spent quite some time looking for a camera/film/processing system that will allow me to take "old" pictures. I have come close a few times and even had some fun on the way, but untill this weekend my ideal picture type has eluded me.

Happily, that is no more the case ... I give you the Bilora Radix 6 (with the Bilora Anastigmat 38mm f/3.5mm lens), cheapie Kodacolour Gold 200ASA (in date), Tetanol developer *no major rinse between CD And Blix, just a tankful of water and a shake*, sorted. Actually no, not sorted as these have had a slight contrast boost and tone down in PIxW but nevertheless, I am one dead chuffed bunny rabbit :D

Clearly, one has to be selective of subjects since some things just don't look right with this method. Case in point is this shop (yes, it is *that* shop where the wtf shout came from... ) which barely manages to fit in but only just.

Were it a Next for example, then no. No, no no no.

They could be Walker Evans, the pumps I like especially. The effect is a bit like autochromes.
 
The guy smoking outside the XL clothes shop just makes this. Well done Arthur :clap:
 
Thanks... I just noticed the two-headed duck... or at least the very naughty *pair* of ducks :( :(
 
Bridge stores shot and the petrol pumps look as though they come straight from of the 1950,s excellent. Yes the duck are Mallard and you can go back soon and take some of the ducklings.:)
 
Some more from the roll, loving the man slowing down past the sweetie shop :lol:

erm great idea:- any cock-up with the processing and to cover the mistakes, pretend that it's the effects you want. ;-)
 
Ha. I was just about to say cynicism does not become you - then I remembered

Just a case of reading the Tetenal instructions in the bit that lists "problems" then doing it on purpose!
