Here’s a roll I shot nearly entirely at night! That would be a fun experiment if I had not changed another drastic element simultaneously; this is the first roll of a new filmstock, too! Rollei RPX 400 is similar to Ilford HP5+, but I can obtain it for about $5 cheaper. If the results are indistinguishable, this could be a great saving! Not to spoil the results, but I am less than impressed on several fronts. It seems that the film can let in a tremendous amount of light, ruining the first few frames (and overexposed the next six or so). The film itself had some strange artifacts, but that may have been a mistake in my development. Finally, the film grain is more noticeable, even when shooting at box speed. I’m not convinced at this stage, but I’ve got another five or so rolls of Rollei so there’ll be time to play around!

Trichromes
Really happy with this trichrome, it’s probably my favorite photograph from the roll. Nothing to say on this, just a beautiful composition!
As always, when experimenting it is natural to expose the Dunedin Railway Station. This time, however, I tried something new — taking a trichrome of the station from a long way away using the trusty Pentax-A 200mm zoom lens. As you may be able to tell, something went terribly wrong. The green exposure came out terrifically distorted. I am not sure if this is a property of the filter, the low-light exposure, the long shutter speed, or a more pure optical phenomena. Oh well, at least we get a pretty shot! 
Here’s a series of shots from inside and around the Ohewo building. I’m happy with how these turned out, but I think if this were bright daylight the composition might be nicer. 
Finally, a trichrome from the tenth floor of the Richardson building. This exposure is just a hair too dark, although I exposed for around 25 seconds. I still like it, though. Remainder
Here’s the first shot that actually developed on this roll. It was, unfortunately, the third shot I took! There was such a tremendous light leak (still visible here) that the first few frames were ruined. The million-dollar question; is this the fault of the roll, and hence Rollei itself? I’ll have to keep an eye on this in future rolls 
Another frame from the top of the Richardson building. 
I liked this frame of a doorway into the clocktower building. I think it’s very moody, but a light-leak around the bottom of the frame (or perhaps the development issue?) really hinders my ability to pull any further detail from the highlights. 
Another shot from one of the Owheo trichromes. This was taken at 50mm, rather than the 28mm for the trichrome. 
Another moody shot of a road. The light-leak / development issue takes up the highlights, meaning editing this nicely (an already difficult task!) is just made harder. 
A cat!! I would have liked to take the tripod out for this, but the little guy was already on his way. 
Without any filters the Railway Station was perfectly in focus. 
Here’s a couple of frames of the same streetlight. This frame was exposed based on the light, leaving very little detail on the lamppole. 
This frame was exposed based on the pole. More detail here, you can even make out the knots in the wood! I think I like this one more — even the light is more interesting by blowing out the highlight. 
And finally, some exposures of empty streets in the very, very early morning. Or perhaps better described as the very, very late night.
