[Leica] Nathan's PAD 2/9/2023: a rainy morning at the Mercado Central

[Nathan Wajsman]

This collection of six images taken last Saturday is different from my usual fare in a couple of ways. Firstly, it rained. We have had an extremely dry summer, and this was the first serious rainfall since June. Secondly, the photos are from a roll of XP2 Super shot in my Olympus OM4T with the Zuiko 1.8/50mm lens. By coincidence, in August I had to renew one of my passports, so I looked for a place to have the passport photos taken. And I found such a place in our suburb of El Campello. Not only that, but they also develop C41 in-house, and provide development plus scan for 9 Euro. So I tried a roll and picked it up today, along with the scans. I will re-scan the negatives on my own film scanner, but these are the scans the shop provided—they are not bad at all, I think.

Unhappy fish (I would be unhappy too in this situation):

I am not sure, but I may have used the 85mm Zuiko for this last photo.

Comments welcome as always.

Cheers,
Nathan
