Mono for me too.

The light on the water really makes it for me. This is much more interesting in the mono version and I don't think the colour adds anything to the picture.
Sometimes real life is drained of colour and mono can show the light best.

Kayaks are quite a common sight at Boulter's Lock. One of the kayak friendly weirs on the Thames.

Took a few looks to make my choice.

The colour version has more detail in the clouds but I think the black and white simplifies the image in a way that I like, so I'll chose that one.

Price is for both eyepiece and base.

The cloth you are using is fine it just needs to be draped over something else to lift it a bit. Try attaching the cloth to a bit of old cardboard box. You can make any shape you want and then cover it with the cloth using pins to hold it in place. The same cloth can be used over and over again and the cardboard comes for nothing.

If you want different colours, micro fiber cleaning cloths are useful for backgrounds You can get packs of three different colours in the Poundshop so you don't need to break the bank.

If you get the camera sensor in the same plane as the item more of the item will be in focus. For these pictures I would shoot from above the items, keeping the sensor closer to parallel with the item.

To push the film you need to process the film differently so you will not be able to process the whole film at the same time and get the best results if different iso setting are used on different frames of the same film. You need to set the ISO for the whole film.

Check out the manufacturers film/developer data sheets to check the correct development for the ISO setting used when taking the pictures.

This is the TX400 data sheet. link

I've had the DA18-135 for a couple of years now and have not had any problems.

Doesn't let water, snow or clouds in either.

Nice video.

Must say that has got me thinking of giving this a go!
