I attended my Cousin's wedding in South Cornwall this weekend just gone so I thought I'd take the opportunity to shoot some 6x9s alongside my digital. Thankfully I wasn't the official wedding photographer, but I was asked to take some more casual shots throughout the weekend to add to the couple's album and memories. I took with me a roll of Delta 100, 400, and 3200 each, plus two Fujicolor Pro 400 rolls too. The Delta films each have different development time and my packed schedule in the last weeks of university mean I can only develop them one at a time, plus our colour developing machine is down at the moment, so up first is the Delta 400 roll. These were all shot inside the fort (an absolutely wonderful setting for a non-religious wedding set up on a cliff on the South Cornish coast) in daytime, albeit very dark in there. In retrospect I should have used the 3200 roll, which I mistakenly saved for the evening when I could barely see anything through the viewfinder, let alone focus. I shall know next time, huh? Anyway, here're four frames from the first roll. I shall post more as I get them developed and scanned.

Not bad for an ~85 year old camera huh? They've had slight sharpening and noise reduction in PS, but not much. I have to say I do prefer colour to black and white, although in these low-light settings black and white does have the edge.
 
Great results from your Thornton Pickard, pretty challenging conditions even for a modern SLR. The third one is the pick of the bunch for me.
