Thank you for accepting me as a member of this great forum.
My main passion is landscape, but the other day it was far too warm and sunny with a cloudless, uninteresting sky that did not inspire me at all. So I dug out my old, trusty friend that I have not used for a while and is a great tool for close up work, so thought I would have some fun. The camera in question is a Mamiya C220 with the standard 80mm Mamiya Sekor lens which I love.. I set up in my garden with the camera on a tripod and the addition of a Mamiya 'paramender' to cancel out any parallax error. I loaded Ilford Delta 100 pro rated at box speed and took the shot of a rose called 'James Gallway'. I developed the film in Rodinal. Here was the result, hope you like it.
