Walk around Grignano Polesine - 2026-03-01

Notes

I was looking for an occasion to try HC-110, a new BW developer to me (always used Rodinal in the past), and with the occasion practicing pushing film. So, when I recently read in the local news that an old public weight station in a nearby rural suburb (Grignano Polesine) was repainted, and saw from the images that someone added a black cat outline on the walled window, I decided to make it the destination for my weekly "photowalk-as-physical-activity" thing, I walked around 8km from my home to that spot and back, and took most of roll 1 and 2 during that time.

As for the other images, the first 2 of roll 1 are an experiment with the "poor man's macro" method (just shooting holding the lens in reverse), I took a couple photos of my 5513 homage that I built myself last year. After exp. 16 I got home and moved roll 2 to my Konica C35, my most compact camera that I often take with me, so the next images are just scenes from daily life, like the office, or waiting at a drive-through. After that I experimented a little and moved the roll back to the Minolta with exp. 25, resulting in a couple of unvolontary double exposures.

Data for nerds like myself ;)
