Stairs

By 2014 my enthusiasm for film photography had begun to wane. Among the last rolls of 120 film that I developed myself at home were a few that I took on an outing to Raglan Castle in the spring of that year. The shot above is one of the better ones from those rolls. We see steps leading up from a gloomy cellar room, lit by sunlight coming through an open doorway. I’d taken a couple of exposures of the same composition with different shutter speeds – this is the darker of the two. I used my Mamiya C330S loaded with Ilford HP5+ film, and developed it using Kodak D76.
