[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Midnight 2/8/2013 is a challenge, Ted as, these days, my local film processor only powers up his colour film machine once a week on Tuesdays. OK I know I could rush out and get a secondhand M8/M9 but it's an expensive option... Could we make it the following Friday? I develop my own b&w, but somehow think that shooting "THE COLOUR RED" in black & white might lose its impact!!
