The scans of my first roll of HP5 just came in. Most shots turned out quite boring but here is one of my wife that I like.

Canon AE-1 Program
Ilford HP5
Helios 44M 58mm/2

Yeah yeah.

You just want to show off your wife 🤭

that lens is absolutely fantastic! I’ve used it with multiple digital cameras (5D and 6D mk II) and it has a peculiar vibe and bokeh. Congratulations for the picture too!

this turned out very well! for some reason, I often find that the only picture I really liked in a roll is also a portrait of my wife 😅

I don't know what HP5 is, but that photograph is really pretty 😌

you should print it in darkroom. Scan of bw film is bored.

Great shot and a beautiful model!
How long has it been since I last saw a photo with some white spots caused by dust on the film. Now it's just nostalgia, and possibly a concious decision to keep such a 'defect'. Years ago it was such a pain to see something like that on a print, followed by hours wasted on retouche done using ink - I could never learn how to do that properly 😀

I think it’s a beautiful candid picture, a brief moment of her in thought

You're lucky your wife is so beautiful; she makes for all developing and scanning glitches! Just kidding, nice photo indeed
