It was a mild, sunny Sunday

and I took advantage of it by getting out to shoot some photos. Put a roll of Ilford FP4+ in my Hasselblad and I'm very satisfied with the results. Zürich was pretty quiet but that is never a problem.

Had a nice dinner at home on Friday evening. I hosted some photography friends and we had a great round-table discussion which went on for several hours (and would have gone for many more if the guests didn't need to get on the train).

Testing new films

and I really like the way this Ilford FP4+ looks. Reminds me somewhat of the old Kodak PX which is no longer in production and it is (to me, at least) much preferable to the Ilford Delta series. I shot this in my Hasselblad (for which there is a smaller range of available films than for the 35mm cameras) and I will be happy to stock up on some of this stuff to go along with my Kodak Tri-X. Once the Tri-X is gone, it might be a case of loading up on a different Ilford film (HP5+)  to fill in at medium-speed for when the light is not so great.
