ilford fp4 (1985). capitol little league. november 22.

Scroll down to content

These images are from the second roll of Ilford FP4, an expired roll from 1985. I wanted an open sky area to give the film as much light as possible. With the cloud cover and time of day, it was still very dark out. Capitol Little League leases 10 acres from the Olympia Airport, a lease that will be problematic in the future due to airport growth and rent increases (https://www.thejoltnews.com/stories/capitol-little-league-calls-for-help-as-the-lease-for-ballfields-to-skyrocket-next-year,10968).

I used the Pentax 645 with the 75mm F2.8 lens attached. Shooting the film at 50 ISO created shutter speeds ranging from 1/15th to 1 second.

I rarely use a tripod when I work, but the two rolls of FP4 have forced me to do so.

The airport tower is in the background.

I developed the film in HC-110(B) for 8 minutes, 10 seconds @ 20C, agitating it for 10 seconds every minute. I scanned the negatives with the Epson V850 using VueScan.

My last shot of the roll. It was late, wet, and cold.
