I love Agfa film – tend to use positive (slide) film though – and the muted colours are its signature, compared to the saturated colours you get with Fuji.

Aha, as a novice at the film malarkey, that is news to me. TBH I never really thought about different film having different characteristics, but now it has been brought to my attention it is actually obvious. Apart from the noise I am reasonable happy with the results. The skies do appear very washed out, so I am keen to see the results with the 64 ISO Kodak. Fireworks display tomorrow night, so will try and finish the roll off then

Cracking shots Rjg, particularly loving the high ones. I wish my elbow had been up to it. I recently climbed the ladder inside a empty fuel tank in Invergordon, it was pretty high too with no safety cages or platforms. OK it was not as high as this, but the individual ladder was quite a bit longer than each section of the hose tower. I don't think I'll be going back to climb this any time soon.

Bryag · Nov 4, 2009

Pyroninja · Nov 5, 2009

Ah RJ yeah that was a helluva monopod you brought along that day...was most impressed!

Great shot's it gave you to, hadn't seen any of them yet.

I think I shot the whole place using only the 50mm so yeah the shots are a little tight...Here's a few anyway;

There's a person in this shot...

Castle Greyskull

A bad man at the window

Alcohol problem in the female toilets?

Good to meet you Pyroninja, you got some cracking shots too. I never saw Skeltor, what a find. It looks like his sword is coming up through the floor to the left
