I had a few frames left, and wanted to develop this roll of film.
There were some interesting clouds, which I wanted to shoot with a red filter to make them pop more against the sky, but I spotted this reflection in one of my doors as I went upstairs to retrieve the aforementioned filter.
I ended up preferring this to the cloud shots.
Shot on very expired Ilford Delta 400
A backup photo, shot a month ago, the day I bought my Fuji X100V.
Shot on very expired Ilford Delta 400. I can't definitively remember what lens, probably the EF50mm f/1.4.
A backup photo, shot almost a month ago, the day I bought my Fuji X100V.
Very expired Ilford Delta 400,
This being a film camera witout a databack, I can't definitively remember what lens, but it was probably the EF50mm f/1.4.

You may have noticed a certain radio silence from my general direction.
My head exploded due to work. Without going into too much gory detail, I ended up being faced with a requirement to conduct a time based equivalent of fitting a quart into a pint pot, which ended very approximately as well as one might imagine.
All this "fun" correlates with me enjoying a bout of shingles, which adds yet more fun to the already copious quantities of fun that was already sloshing around my ankles.
Correlation doesn't imply causation of course, but it's quite the coincidence if it's not causally linked...

A backup photo, shot several weeks ago on very expired Ilford Delta 400.
This being a film camera witout a databack, I can't definitively remember what lens, but it was probably the EF100mm f/2.8 L IS Macro.

Yet again, I'm late and using a backup photo. On this occasion though, it's only because the things I shot today are still trapped in latent form inside the camera, and require the application of chemistry to free them.
I'm very much out of the mindset of needing to finish the roll before you can develop anything.
I think I used the EF 85mm f/1.2L II for this, but I can't be certain... there's no EXIF data on a roll of film!
I've been threatening to do it, and I did it!
I bought the kit I needed to develop B&W film again, and shot a long-expired roll of @ilfordphoto HP5+.
This is the first film I've shot in well over 10 years. I suspect the HP5+ that I shot here, which expired in 2012, was probably one of the last rolls I bought, which puts the purchase date around 2010 at the latest. This would line up with the point that I was made redundant, and almost completely gave up shooting for fun.
Amazingly, my old EOS 1N still works perfectly after a bit of cleaning, and my ancient Konica Minolta film scanner still functions too, thanks to the excellent Vuescan software.
I took a rather indifferent video of loading the camera to mark the occasion.
The video and a couple more frames are after the jump.
