Cardiff in B&W

Last Thursday I had a half day in work so I took the chance to get some photos on the Welsh capital on film, my choice of ammunition: Ilford HP5+, the camera; a second-hand Olympus OM2 that I had picked up from Jessops earlier in the day. I only had 1 roll of film so 36 exposures was my limit, I was quite surprised since this seemed about right; I didn’t find myself cursing the fact that I only bought 1 roll.



I centred my efforts on the area around the university buildings and some of the civic buildings in Cardiff since the last time I was shooting in Cardiff we ended up shooting more around the shopping centre areas.



I got home and developed the film as soon as I could, it’s a lot easier to get 35mm onto a developing spiral than 120 film since you can start the reel off in daylight plus the film itself is a lot tougher than the medium format stuff.
