…metaphorically speaking, of course.

It would be more accurate to call this Over the Moon because that’s how I’m feeling.

Why?

This image represents the first frame from the first roll of colour film I’ve ever self-developed.

I’ve been dragging my heels for years about doing this, stubbornly sticking to black and white film, much to the chagrin of my colleague-in-crime Mark, from iftimestoodstill.net industries (apparently now defunct according to the owner, but we know he’ll be back 🙂 ).

Anyway, thanks to the great expertise and guidance of Mark, I was able to develop this successfully (Mark, I owe you big time).

The rest of the frames from this roll will be posted in the near future.

(Technical:  A colour cast may be perceived here, but it’s actually the true colour from the low sun when I shot this.  You’ll see what I mean when I eventually post the other images).
