Decay and over-exposure

35mm film

Using Ilford FP4 125 iso film to take snowy scenes resulted in over exposure. I didn’t compensate for the overwhelming amount of light on what felt like an overcast day. The Pentax MX light meter suggested I had the exposure sorted, but I could have perhaps let the images be a little more under exposed, especially the garages that have collapsed in the snow.

Broken windows high above the ground on this old decaying textile mill
Too much light, the snow and background much brighter than the overcast day felt.
The edges of the textile mill overhand the river
At the end of the street, the old textile mill. Once a short walk to work, now a decaying reminder to last century’s business
These wooden garages have fallen into disrepair and collapsed under the snow.

These are all low resolution images, and as I begin to share them I realise that this is okay for social media, but for my website I’d like higher resolution.
