Roll six, Paradise Park

A wet afternoon on 28th May, finds us in Paradise park, Newhaven. This picture of a tame dinosaur taken at f1.4, in a sad attempt to make the resin model look vaguely life like. I am several million years too late, but this suffices to make the kids doubt this lot are extinct.
Being somewhat tight when it comes to spending money on the same thing twice, we bring a pack lunch. The weather played the joker, as did the park, in limiting the number of sheltered eating places. We found a pair of mildly damp benches looking over a pond, and munched slightly squashed rolls quickly.

This is an attractive location, and prehaps black and white images do not do it justice. Or rather, my ability with mono media is not sufficient to do the place justice. This is part of the minature tour of Sussex, plenty of walk ways over water, and nice models of key sites of the county.

Tacked onto the park, is a nursery, or is it the other way round? Its a plant supermarket, with the added bonus that unlike the mainstream supermarkets, they occassionally water the products, and customers.

Fomapan 100, exposed at 200asa, a tad stronger APH09 mix, about 6.5ml in 300ml, instead of 6.0 in 300ml. Timings as normal. Shot on 28th, processed that evening and scanned this morning.
This film seems to have nicer tones rated at 200asa, but then my processing is too shoddy to really take too much notice of that based on one film.
Forgot to take digital camera, remembered spare roll of film though....
