I Chose Ilford HP5 to Photograph Valencia – Very Happy With the Results
I hadn’t really shot film for around twenty years, so when I decided to take a film camera to Valencia I wanted something that would be a good all-rounder. Valencia can be quite challenging to photograph in the middle of the day because the Mediterranean sun creates very strong contrast and deep shadows.
For that reason I chose Ilford HP5, as it has a reputation for being versatile and forgiving.
After the first few rolls I’m very happy with the results. What I really liked was the contrast and the overall look and feel of the film. The negatives produced strong black and white images that worked well with the architecture and hard light of the city. Despite the contrast, there was still plenty of detail in the shadows, which helped balance scenes with bright sunlight and deep shade.
Overall HP5 felt like a great choice for returning to film. It handled the harsh Mediterranean light very well and produced a classic black and white look that suited the subjects I was photographing.
I bought an Olympus Trip 35 and my first roll in it had to be Ilford HP5+ 400. The tag line for the Olympus Trip is "So simple anyone can use it!" I think you can add to that, "Especially with Ilford HP5+ 400." I went for HP5 because I know it has the latitude to get results when I use a new to me film camera for the first time. It did not let me down. Thank you Ilford!

first film through Pentax MX
Excellent results, the amount of grain was to be expected from 400ASA film, the sharpness and contrast from the Pentax 35-70 lens was also excellent
